Probiotics are living microorganisms that are beneficial to health when consumed. The advantages to health attributed to bacterial probiotics have been discussed (Reference: Lactobacillus Molecular Biology: From Genomics to Probiotics ISBN: reviews for gobiofit (killer deal) 978-1-904455-41-7). Many preparations that contain probiotic yeast cells are commercially offered. The beneficial effects of strains of yeast like Saccharomyces boulardii are extensively recorded. Probiotic yeast cells provide nutritive value and are likely to be resistant to passage through the stomach and intestine. Additionally they’re resistant to majority of antibiotics so they can be worn in patients receiving antibiotic treatment. A recent comment about the results of Saccharomyces boulardii on gastrointestinal diseases was published in the journal Current Issues in Molecular Biology. (Zanello et al Curr. Problems. Mol. Biol. 11: 47-58)

Health benefits attributed to probiotics include the prevention and the therapy of gastrointestinal illnesses, urinary and vaginal infection & allergies. The yeast Saccharomyces boulardii continues to be referred to as a biotherapeutic agent since several medical trials displayed its helpful effects in the curing and also the prevention of intestinal infections and in the repairs and maintenance of inflammatory bowel disease.

These diseases are characterized by acute diarrhoea. Administration of the yeast in combination or not with an antibiotic therapy was demonstrated to decrease considerably the frequency as well as the duration of diarrhoea. Experimental studies elucidated partially the molecular mechanisms which really helped enhance the wellbeing of the patient. The discovery of its anti-inflammatory and immuno-modulatory tasks in correlation with the advancements in the comprehension of mucosal immunology opens a new area of perspectives within Saccharomyces boulardii healing applications.
