What is it about?

Lactobacillus rhamnosus L34 attenuated GI leakage in these models, as shown by the reduction of FITC-dextran gut-translocation, serum IL-6, bacteremia and sepsis mortality. The reduction of fecal Salmonella was demonstrated with Lactobacillus treatment. In addition, an anti-inflammatory effect of Lactobacillus rhamnosus L34 was also demonstrated by the attenuation of cytokine production in Caco-2 cells in vitro.

Why is it important?

Our findings show that Lactobacillus rhamnosus L34 attenuated the severity of symptoms in a murine sepsis model induced by GI leakage and pathogenic bacterial administration.
