The Antimicrobial Role of Probiotics in the Oral Cavity in Humans and Dogs
Keywords:
antimicrobial substances, host, live microorganisms, probioticsAbstract
Probiotics have been defined in 2001 by the World Health Organization (WHO) and Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) as "live microorganisms, and as the main bacteria that administered in adequate amounts in humans and animals have beneficial effects on the health of the host".
Probiotics are single or mixed cultures of live and non-pathogenic microorganisms that are found in foods (especially acidic dairy yoghurt, kefir, buttermilk, cheese) or in nutritional supplements on the form of tablets, capsules or powder. These bacteria have to belong to the normal microbial flora of the host to withstand acidity, to survive the intestinal transit, to adhere to the intestinal mucosa, to produce antimicrobial substances and to maintain the health of the host. The most often strains that are used as probiotics are: Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium and Streptococcus.
The objective of this study is to reveal the importance of probiotics on the health of oral cavity in humans and dogs.
