The present invention relates to a novel bacterial strain,GOS 42 (DSM 32131), isolated preparations and compositions thereof; and their use in medicine, especially in the treatment and/or prevention of inflammation.

Probiotic bacterial strain ofand compositions and uses thereof in the treatment of inflammation

Use of one strain offor the manufacture of a composition for increasing the diversity of the gastrointestinal tract by administration of said strain to an individual with a view to producing an increased diversity index compared to placebo is disclosed, as well as use of one strain offor the manufacture of a composition for prophylactic treatment of a healthy individual against developing a low bacterial diversity (LBD); of an individual having LBD against developing one or more physiologically disturbed conditions, large intestine bacterial overgrowth (LIBO) or small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO); and of an individual having LIBO or SIBO against developing one or more physiologically disturbed conditions, and a method for increasing said diversity.

Bacterial diversity

The invention refers to new strains of, especially of the species, having the ability to survive in the intestinal tract and to produce glutamine and optionally arginine in vivo, as well as to compositions comprising said strains.

Strains of bifidobacterium having the ability to produce glutamine

Epithelial adhesive lactobacilli

A process for isolation of a strain of Lactobacillus having the ability of being established on human intestinal mucosa in vivo and being able to remain therein after oral administration for at least 10 days after the completion of the administration. By the process the new strains L. plantarum 299 (DSM 6595) and L. casei ssp. rhamnosus 271 (DSM 6594) have been isolated, which are useful for the prophylaxis or treatment of bacterial infections, especially in the form of a fermented nutrient composition.
