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 | L. rhamnosus |
For culturing Lactobacillus rhamnosus, it is recommended to use standard anaerobic culturing techniques. The bacterium should be grown in appropriate media at 37°C under anaerobic conditions until the desired density is achieved. This ensures optimal viability and activity for experimental applications.
In animal studies, Lactobacillus rhamnosus can be administered orally through gavage, mixed in drinking water, or included in the diet. The dosage and duration depend on the specific research goals but generally range from 10^8 to 10^9 CFU per day.
Yes, Lactobacillus rhamnosus has been shown to reduce subjective stress and anxiety levels in human trials. It helps in mitigating stress-induced gut permeability, making it useful for studies exploring the gut-brain axis and the effects of probiotics on mental health.
Common assays include measuring transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER), evaluating tight junction protein expression, and conducting permeability tests using markers such as lactulose and mannitol. These assays help in assessing the probiotic's ability to enhance gut barrier integrity.
Lactobacillus rhamnosus is generally considered safe for research purposes. However, standard microbiological practices should be followed to prevent contamination and ensure the integrity of the experimental results. It is also important to validate the strain's identity and purity before use.
Stress-induced increase in salivary cortisol (a) and STAI (b) in the intention-to-treat population
The study investigates the effects of the probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus CNCM I-3690 on stress and intestinal permeability. Conducted on healthy students, the trial used a double-blind, placebo-controlled design to measure outcomes. Participants consumed either L. rhamnosus or a placebo for four weeks. The primary outcome measured was intestinal permeability using the lactulose-mannitol ratio (LMR), while secondary outcomes included salivary cortisol levels, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) scores, and Perceived Stress Scores (PSS).
Results showed no significant difference in LMR between the treatment and placebo groups. However, within-treatment analysis revealed that L. rhamnosus CNCM I-3690 prevented a stress-induced increase in the fractional excretion of mannitol (FEM). The probiotic significantly reduced subjective stress markers, as evidenced by lower STAI and PSS scores during stress, compared to placebo. These effects were independent of changes in intestinal permeability, suggesting that L. rhamnosus CNCM I-3690 may have anxiolytic properties beneficial for managing stress.
