Lactobacillus acidophilus DDS-1

◐ Food-origin
Sequenced
Public genome assembly available

Lactobacillus acidophilus DDS-1 is a human-origin probiotic strain with one of the broader clinical research bases among L. acidophilus strains. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have examined its use in the context of functional constipation in children, irritable bowel syndrome in adults, and gut microbiota in aging animal models. In vitro comparisons have examined DDS-1 relative to plant- and dairy-derived competitors on probiotic functional markers. The body of human RCT evidence is still growing. These are research topics, not findings; the papers do not establish that this strain treats or prevents any condition.
