Cutting Edge: Probiotics and Fecal Microbiota Transplantation in Immunomodulation

Figure 2

Effects of probiotics on the Th17/Treg balance. Treg can be increased by probiotics, such as Lactobacillus (plantarum, fermentum, salivarius, acidophilus, casei, and rhamnosus), Bifidobacterium (animalis, infantis, longum, lactis, and breve), and Bacillus coagulans, Clostridium butyricum, Weissella cibaria, Enterococcus durans, and Prevotella histicola. Th17 can be increased by probiotics, such as Lactobacillus plantarum, Bifidobacterium adolescentis. Conversely, Th17 can be decreased by probiotics, such as Lactobacillus (delbrueckii, acidophilus, and rhamnosus), Bifidobacterium breve, and Enterococcus faecalis and Prevotella histicola.
