Lactobacilli can belong to the gut flora or to the flora associating with gastrointestinal epithelial surfaces. They play an important role within the microbial defense mechanisms taking part in the colonization resistance and in the decontamination of the host. Lactobacilli affect the immune response. They accelerate the revival of the small intestinal epithelial cells. Those strains of lactobacilli with distinct antagonistic properties with lysozyme activity and resistance against lysozyme often develop a compact glycocalyx. They are endowed with a high adhesion capacity. The intestinal lactoflora consists of several species with different defense properties.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007421 Intestine, Small The portion of the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT between the PYLORUS of the STOMACH and the ILEOCECAL VALVE of the LARGE INTESTINE. It is divisible into three portions: the DUODENUM, the JEJUNUM, and the ILEUM. Small Intestine,Intestines, Small,Small Intestines
D007778 Lactobacillus A genus of gram-positive, microaerophilic, rod-shaped bacteria occurring widely in nature. Its species are also part of the many normal flora of the mouth, intestinal tract, and vagina of many mammals, including humans. Lactobacillus species are homofermentative and ferment a broad spectrum of carbohydrates often host-adapted but do not ferment PENTOSES. Most members were previously assigned to the Lactobacillus delbrueckii group. Pathogenicity from this genus is rare.
D004064 Digestive System A group of organs stretching from the MOUTH to the ANUS, serving to breakdown foods, assimilate nutrients, and eliminate waste. In humans, the digestive system includes the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT and the accessory glands (LIVER; BILIARY TRACT; PANCREAS). Ailmentary System,Alimentary System
