Characterizations of Bacillus probiotics available for human use

Five commercially available Bacillus probiotic strains consisting of Bactisubtil, Enterogermina, Biosubtyl Nha Trang, Biosubtyl Da Lat and Subtyl, were characterized for determining their potential attributes that would account for their claimed probiotic properties and are available for human use. Evidence was provided for the colonization, immunostimulation and antimicrobial activity, which facilitate the hypothesis that the organisms have a potential probiotic effect.
