Introduction | Lactobacillus species are normal flora of the human mouth, gastrointestinal tract, and female genital tract, where they produce lactic acid and competitively inhibit pathogenic organisms. Lactobacillus are small, slender, nonmotile, Gram-positive bacilli in chains. Immature colonies appear smooth, convex, and translucent. Some species of Lactobacillus used commonly as probiotics. They are most commonly used for diarrhea, including infectious diarrhea and diarrhea in people taking antibiotics. Some people also use lactobacillus for general digestion problems, irritable bowel syndrome; IBS, colic in infants, and many other conditions that involve the stomach and bowel. |
Alternative Names | Lactobacillus casei; L41-1 |
Before using Lactobacillus casei in experiments, it is essential to rehydrate the freeze-dried bacteria in a suitable growth medium under anaerobic conditions. This rehydration process typically involves incubating the bacteria at 37°C for 24-48 hours.
The concentration of Lactobacillus casei can be quantified using colony-forming unit (CFU) counting on selective agar plates. Researchers plate serial dilutions of the bacterial culture and incubate them under anaerobic conditions to count the resulting colonies.
Lactobacillus casei is commonly used in studies related to gut health, probiotic efficacy, and immune modulation. Researchers use it to investigate its potential benefits in preventing gastrointestinal disorders and enhancing immune responses.
In animal model studies, Lactobacillus casei can be administered via oral gavage, mixed with feed, or added to drinking water. This allows researchers to study its effects on the gastrointestinal tract and overall health of the animals.
In in vitro experiments, the dosage of Lactobacillus casei varies depending on the study's objective. Generally, researchers use concentrations ranging from 10^6 to 10^9 CFU/mL to observe significant biological effects.
