<i>Lactobacillus acidophilus</i> INMIA 9602 Er-2 strain 317/402 probiotic regulates growth of commensal <i>Escherichia coli</i> in gut microbiota of familial Mediterranean fever disease subjects

Abstract

This is the first study to demonstrate the effects of Narine, containing the probiotic Lactobacillus acidophilus, on the growth of gut commensal Escherichia coli from study participants with familial Mediterranean fever disease (FMF). Verhulst's logistic function was demonstrated to act as a possible tool for the evaluation and quantification of effects produced by the probiotic formulation in FMF participants.
