Influence of Lactobacillus Spp. On Colonization and Anti-Infectious Resistance of the Mucous Membranes of the Upper Respiratory Tract

Abstract

Results. It was established a clear dysfunction of anti-infectious resistance in carriers of Staphylococcus aureus -a decrease of colonization resistance and local immunity of mucous membranes of upper respiratory tract. As for the anti-infectious resistance of nasal mucosal of S. aureus carriers, the level of lysozyme and secretory immunoglobulin A gradually increased after the application of probiotic strain L. rhamnosus GG, and in 21 days it reached rates of healthy individuals. Conclusions. It was found out that probiotics for nasal passages sanitation in Staphylococcus aureus carriers lead to gradual eradication of the pathogen (S. aureus) with restoration of colonization and anti-infectious resistance, mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract.
