General information

Species:  Lactobacillus crispatus (strain ST1)
Species code: LACCS
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacilli; Lactobacillales; Lactobacillaceae; Lactobacillus (TaxID: 748671) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description: Lactobacilli are normal inhabitants of the gastrointestinal tract of man and animals where they are widely considered to exert a number of beneficial roles including immunomodulation, interference with enteric pathogens, and maintenance of a healthy intestinal microflora. Historically, probiotic roles have been ascribed primarily to Lactobacillus acidophilus. The genus Lactobacillus presently comprises more than 50 recognized species of non-pathogenic bacteria which in addition to their probiotic effects are useful to human as indispensable agents for the fermentation of foods and feed. Lactobacillus crispatus (strain ST1) is a Gram-positive bacterium isolated from the crop of a chicken. L. crispatus displays a strong protein-dependent adhesion to the epithelial cells of the human vagina and has been shown to inhibit the adhesion of avian pathogenic Escherichia coli. It is also a member of the normal oral and gastrointestinal tract microflora. (Adapted from PMID: 20435723).
