Limosilactobacillus fermentum VRI-003

◔ Human-origin
Sequenced
Public genome assembly available

Limosilactobacillus fermentum VRI-003 (formerly Lactobacillus fermentum VRI-003, marketed as PCC) is a human-origin strain with a small human RCT evidence base. A 2008 trial in endurance athletes examined oral administration in relation to mucosal immunity, and a separate 2005 RCT examined the strain in children with atopic dermatitis. In vitro studies have characterized its adhesion to Peyer's patches, immune tissue in the small intestine, documenting a possible mechanism for immune interaction in laboratory settings. The strain has not been evaluated in large-scale trials. These are research topics, not findings; the papers do not establish that this strain treats or prevents any condition.
