Text 1
Say the word bacteria, and most folks conjure up images of a nasty germ like staphylococcus or salmonella that can make you really sick. But most bacteria aren't bad for you. In fact, consuming extra amounts of some bacteria can actually promote good health. The beneficial bacteria are available without a prescription in drug and health-food stores and in foods like yogurt. So far, the best results have been en in the treatment of diarrhea, particularly in children. But re archers are also looking into the possibility that beneficial bacteria may thwart vaginal infections in women, prevent some food allergies in children and lesn symptoms of Crohn's dia, a relatively rare but painful gastrointestinal disorder.
So where have the good germs been lurking all your life? In your intestines, especially the lower ction called the colon, which harbors at least 400 species of bacteria. Which ones you have depends largely on your environment and diet. An a
bundance of good bacteria in the colon generally crowds out stray bad bacteria in your food. But if the bad outnumber the good—for example, after antibiotic treatment for a sinus or an ear infection, which kills normal intestinal germs as well—the result can be diarrhea.
For generations, people have restored the balance by eating yogurt, buttermilk or other products made from fermented milk. But nowadays, you can also down a few pills that contain freeze-dried germs. The preparations are called probiotics to distinguish them from antibiotics. Unfortunately, you can't always be sure that the bacteria in the products you buy are the same strains as tho listed on the label or even that they're still alive. Probiotics are usually nsitive to both heat and moisture. Among the most promising and most thoroughly rearched probiotics is the GG strain of Laetobacillus, discovered by Dr. Sherwood Gorbach and biochemist Barry Goldin, both at Tufts University School of Medicine. L-GG, as it's called, has been ud to treat traveler's diarrhea and intestinal upts caud by antibiotics. Even more intriguing, L- GG also ems to work against some virus,
including rotavirus, one of the **mon caus of diarrhea in children in the U. S. and around the world. Here the effect is indirect. Somehow L-GG jump-starts the immune system into recognizing the threat pod by the virus.
Pediatricians at Johns Hopkins are studying a different bug, the Bb-12 strain of Bifidobacterium, which was discovered by rearchers at CHR Hann Biosystems. Like L-GG, Bb-12 stimulates the immune system. For reasons that are not dear, infants who are breast-fed have large amounts of bifidobacteria in their intestines. They also have fewer intestinal upts. Dr. Jo Saavedra and colleagues at Hopkins have shown that Bb-12 prevents veral types of diarrhea, including that caud by r0tavirus, in hospitalized infants as young as four months. It has also been ud to cure diarrhea in children of all ages.
