RESUMO
The colonization by the probiotic Lactobacillus casei subsp. rhamnosus Lcr35 of the gastrointestinal tracts of mice and humans was studied. The mice were orally given 109 CFU of Lcr35 either once or three times at 24-h intervals. A 16S ribosomal nucleic probe used in hybridization assays detected Lcr35 in the feces of mice for up to 3 days after the feeding, at a level of 108 to 109 CFU/g of feces. In the human assay, 12 healthy volunteers were enrolled in a randomized trial and ingested Lcr35 at a dosage of 108 or 1010 or 1012 CFU every day for 7 days. Then, after a 3-week posttreatment period, there was a second intake period similar to the first one. Analysis of fecal samples showed significant increases in the number of lactobacilli during the first intake period, whatever the dose given. The greatest increases were observed in subjects harboring the lowest indigenous population of Lcr35-like bacteria. During the 3-week posttreatment period, the number of CFU slightly decreased over time, and an increase, although not a statistically significant one, was observed during the second test period. These findings suggest that Lcr35 is able to survive within the gastrointestinal tract.
