Lactobacillus acidophilus ATCC 4356

◐ Food-origin
Sequenced
Public genome assembly available

Lactobacillus acidophilus ATCC 4356 is a reference strain used extensively in probiotic research as a standard comparator for adhesion, antimicrobial activity, and stress response studies. In vitro work has examined pathogen adhesion and invasion, such as Campylobacter jejuni, and bacteriocin production (antimicrobial peptides) in relation to competing bacteria including certain Bacillus species and dental pathogens. Animal model studies have examined parasitic infection and aflatoxin-related toxicity in fish, and the strain has been studied in simulated microgravity and mercury decontamination contexts. This research is exploratory and largely in vitro or in animal models; strain-specific human clinical data are limited. These are research topics, not findings; the papers do not establish that this strain treats or prevents any condition.
