GUADARRAMA-ORTIZ, Parménides; FLORES-VAZQUEZ, Juan Carlos; CARNALLA-CORTES, Martha  and  CHORENO-PARRA, José Alberto. Probiotics: Adjuvant in the medical treatment?. Med. interna Méx. [online]. 2018, vol.34, n.4, pp.574-581. ISSN 0186-4866.  https://doi.org/10.24245/mim.v34i4.1878.

Microbiome plays an important role in the maintenance of the mucosae homeostasis and it can exert an influence in the function of organs and systems of the human body. Several factors can lead to dysbiosis which can result in different pathologies. The potential use of probiotics for the re-establishment of gut microbiome is still unfamiliar for most medical doctors. Consequently, it is of major relevance to know and analyze the information in favor of the use of different intestinal bacteria strains as adjuvants in the medical treatment with the aim to regulate and approve their employment by an evidence-based approach.

Keywords : Probiotics; Dysbiosis; Microbiome; Lactobacillus.
