Probiotics are live microorganisms that confer health benefits to human when administered in adequate amount. They are mainly lactic acid bacteria (LAB) of the genera Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, although the probiotics potential of other bacteria and yeast are not excluded. Modulation of the immune system, anti-inflammatory effect, improved intestinal functioning, inhibition of pathogens and treatment of diseases such as traveler's diarrhea are among probiotics benefits. While several health ailments such as inflammatory bowel, diabetes, hepatic, neurological, respiratory and cardiovascular diseases and some cancer like colorectal cancer are associated with probiotics imbalances. Probiotics are mainly isolated from the human microbiota pool, feces, breast milk and fermented products. Also, fermented fruits and vegetable described as prebiotics are among sources of probiotics. They are rich in functional antioxidants that synergistically provides health benefits to human. In the present work, fruits and vegetable probiotics, isolation, characterization, health benefits and their application are reviewed. Caracterización, beneficios para la salud y aplicaciones de probióticos de frutas y verduras RESUMEN Los probióticos son microorganismos vivos que brindan beneficios a la salud humana cuando son administrados en la cantidad adecuada. Se trata principalmente bacterias del ácido láctico (LAB) de los géneros Lactobacillus y Bifidobacterium, aunque no se excluye el potencial probiótico de otras bacterias y levaduras. Entre los beneficios ofrecidos por los probióticos pueden mencionarse: modulación del sistema inmunitario, efecto antiinflamatorio, mejor funcionamiento intestinal, inhibición de patógenos y tratamiento de enfermedades, por ejemplo, la diarrea del viajero. Por otra parte, diversas enfermedades, como intestino inflamatorio, diabetes, enfermedades hepáticas, neurológicas, respiratorias y cardiovasculares y algunos tipos de cáncer como el cáncer colorrectal, están asociadas con desequilibrios en los probióticos. Los mismos se aíslan principalmente del conjunto de microbiota humana, heces, leche materna y productos fermentados. Además, entre las fuentes de probióticos se encuentran las frutas y verduras fermentadas descritas como prebióticos. Son ricos en antioxidantes funcionales que proporcionan beneficios para la salud humana de manera sinérgica. En el presente trabajo se revisan los probióticos de frutas y verduras, y se estudia su aislamiento, su caracterización, los beneficios para la salud y su aplicación.

“…Especially in case of inflammatory or autoimmune disorders, such as atopic dermatitis (AD) there is now clear evidence that they are associated with shifts in the resident microbiota from a healthy to a diseased state and that they can be viewed as dysbiotic host-microbial states (Belkaid and Segre, 2014). In cases of psoriasis, where dysbiosis is associated with skin inflammation, oral probiotics has been suggested as a means to restore the resident microbes, that are diminished when the disorder is present (Huang and Tang, 2015). It was reported that pattern recognition receptors, such as Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 of the innate immune system, are triggered by commensal S. epidermidis (Stevens et al, 2009).…”

Commensal skin microbiota plays an important role in both influencing the immune response of the skin and acting as a barrier against colonisation of potentially pathogenic microorganisms and overgrowth of opportunistic pathogens. Staphylococcus epidermidis is a key constituent of the normal microbiota on human skin. It balances the inflammatory response after skin injury and produces antimicrobial molecules that selectively inhibit skin pathogens. Here we describe Lactobacillus brevis DSM17250 that was identified among hundreds of Lactobacillus strains to exhibit an anti-inflammatory effect in human keratinocytes in vitro and specific stimulatory impact on the growth of S. epidermidis. The aqueous cell-free extract of L. brevis DSM17250 was used in an ointment formulation and tested in a randomized placebo-controlled double blinded human pilot study. Healthy volunteers with diagnosed dry skin were treated for four weeks. The study data shows that L. brevis DSM17250 extract induces re-colonisation of the skin by protective commensal microorganisms as judged from selective bacterial cultivation of surface-associated skin microorganism of the lower leg. Furthermore, the 4 week administration of the L. brevis DSM17250 extract significantly improved the transepidermal water loss value (TEWL), reduced the xerosis cutis symptoms and stinging. The data shows that daily application of L. brevis DSM17250 extract in a topical product significantly improves the microbial skin microbiota by promoting the growth of species which possess beneficial regulatory and protective properties such as S. epidermidis. Restoring the natural skin microbiota leads to significantly improved skin barrier function (as transepidermal water loss) and decrease of xeroderma (xerosis cutis) symptoms (as measured by dry skin area and severity index, DASI). We propose that improving and stabilizing the natural skin microbiota by specifically stimulating the growth of S. epidermidis is an important and novel concept to manage skin diseases associated with microbiota dysbiosis.

“…Meanwhile, AD is a common chronic or relapsing inflammatory disease of the skin that often precedes asthma and allergic disorders (Boguniewicz and Leung 2011). AD is prevalent among children and often resolves in adolescence or adulthood (Huang and Tang 2015). A dysfunctional skin barrier and an imbalanced immune system (Boguniewicz and Leung 2011) are two of several causes of these skin disorders.…”

Probiotics and prebiotics potential for the care of skin, female urogenital tract, and respiratory tract

The prebiotics and probiotics market is constantly growing due to the positive effects of its consumption on human health, which extends beyond the digestive system. In addition, the synbiotic products market is also expanding due to the synergistic effects between pre-and probiotics that provide additional benefits to consumers. Pre-and probiotics are being evaluated for their effectiveness to treat and prevent infectious diseases in other parts of the human body where microbial communities exist. This review examines the scientific data related to the effects of pre-and probiotics on the treatment of diseases occurring in the skin, female urogenital tract, and respiratory tract. The evidence suggests that probiotics consumption can decrease the presence of eczema in children when their mothers have consumed probiotics during pregnancy and lactation. In women, probiotics consumption can effectively prevent recurrent urinary tract infections. The consumption of synbiotic products can reduce respiratory tract infections and their duration and severity. However, the outcomes of the meta-analyses are still limited and not sufficiently conclusive to support the use of probiotics to treat infectious diseases. This is largely a result of the limited number of studies, lack of standardization of the studies, and inconsistencies between the reported results. Therefore, it is advisable that future studies consider these shortcomings and include the evaluation of the combined use of pre-and probiotics.
