“…According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 2001, probiotics are defined as live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit to the host [137]. Their efficacy in asthma prevention and treatment is not absolutely clear at the moment, however, a recent meta-analysis of RCTs in six databases showed in long-term follow-up that the administration of Lactobacillus rhamnosus (LGG) facilitated the prevention of asthma [138].…”

“…Also, database reviews concluded that the current evidence is much stronger for probiotics being effective in eczema and allergic rhinitis rather than in prevention [154] or treatment of asthma [132,155,156]. Contrasting this, a recent meta-analysis evaluating also sub-groups for application of specific strains suggested that supplementation with explicitly LGG in the postnatal period may be beneficial in asthma prevention [138]. At the moment, it is stated by international health organizations and allergy organization guidelines that more studies are needed on whether asthma/wheezing prevention with probiotics is effective, as studies to date may "not have used the right probiotic, the right dose, the right timing or duration and/or population" [157,158].…”

“…Since atopy is a risk factor for asthma, it has been proposed that probiotics may potentially stimulate Th1 and decrease allergic asthma. Accordingly, there are some data that probiotics supplementation may be of benefit in the prevention of wheeze or asthma (49). Another potential approach is to investigate strategies that prevent viral respiratory tract infections to reduce the development of asthma.…”

“…138 Specifically, administration of Lactobacillus rhamnosus has been shown to prevent asthma development. 139 When asthmatic children were orally administered a combination of Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subspecies Bulgaricus, an improvement in lung function and a reduction in asthma exacerbations were observed. 140 Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus fermentum, and Lactobacillus gasseri could also alleviate asthma symptoms and decrease IgE levels in children.…”
