Bifidobacterium longum 1714

◔ Human-origin
Sequenced
Public genome assembly available

Bifidobacterium longum 1714 is among the strains studied under the term "psychobiotic," used for gut bacteria examined for potential effects via the gut-brain axis. Multiple randomized controlled trials in healthy adults have examined this strain in relation to stress-related electrophysiology, social cognition, sleep quality, well-being, and mood, including a 2026 placebo-controlled trial. In vitro work has examined exopolysaccharides and tryptophan metabolism in relation to immune signaling, though the mechanisms relevant to humans remain under investigation. These are research topics, not findings; the papers do not establish that this strain treats or prevents any condition.
