ABSTRACT
The use of
Lactobacillus in the clinic is becoming more common. Because of their
versatility and apparent safety, the use of these has diversified to treat patients with
infectious diseases, irritable bowel syndrome, allergies and cancer. This article aims to
review the state of art on the efficacy with the use of
Lactobacillus in controlled clinical
trials. Human clinical trials published between January 2016 and June 12, 2019 were
reviewed at the MEDLINE database. A total of 348 articles were reviewed, of which
those using mixtures with other probiotics other than
Lactobacillus were discarded,
resulting in a total of 74 articles. Among 74 articles reviewed, efficacy was statistically
demonstrated in 74% of them.
