ABSTRACT
Probiotics are preparations or components of microbial viable cells which given in adequate doses have a beneficial effect on the host’s health. They must be of human origin, nonpathogenic, resistant to processing, stable in bile and acid secretions, have the capacity of adherence to the epithelial wall, be able to persist in the gastrointestinal tract and influence in local metabolic activity. The two main bacterial genera that meet these characteristics are the genera
Lactobacillus and
Bifidobacterium. In this paper we analyze their possible indications and risks.
