Lactobacillus acidophilus LA02

◐ Food-origin
Sequenced
Public genome assembly available

Lactobacillus acidophilus LA02 has been evaluated in randomized controlled trials, primarily in combination with Bifidobacterium lactis BS01. This research has examined vaginal microbiome composition and vulvovaginal candidiasis recurrence, as well as body weight, mineral balance, and cognitive functioning in healthy women. Encapsulation studies have examined the strain's behavior in food matrices under simulated gastrointestinal conditions. These are research topics, not findings; the papers do not establish that this strain treats or prevents any condition.
