The present invention relates to the use of probiotic on expecting female mammals to boost the immune status of an offspring. The use can induce an enhanced response of the offspring after birth to an infectious antigenic exposure. Ultimately the use of probiotic in expecting females can induce a better protection of their offspring against infectious diseases.

The present invention provides novel strains of probiotics for use in the gastrointestinal tract of a pet. The probiotics of the present invention are capable of fermenting starch to produce lactic acid and/or hydrogen peroxide anti-pathogenic metabolites. The present invention also provides a novel method for identifying the effectiveness of a pet probiotic in vitro. The method simulates the introduction of a probiotic candidate in the gastrointestinal tract of a pet and measures the anti-pathogenic effectiveness of the probiotic.

Novel microorganisms of the family Lactobacillaceae, particularly microorganisms of the gnus, that are useful in preventing or treating diarrhoea are provided. The microorganism can be utilized for the preparation of an ingestable support and to a composition containing same. The microorganismCNCM I-2116 can be included.

Lactic acid bacteria strains capable of preventing diarrhoea

Novel microorganisms of the family Lactobacillaceae and pharmaceutical compositions, food and methods of using same are provided. The microorganisms have the ability of preventing colonization of the intestine with pathogenic bacteria causing diarrhea and of preventing infection of intestinal epithelial cells by. The microorganisms can be used for the preparation of an ingestable support and to compositions containing same.
