• Probiotics have been used for general well-being ( kefir, yoghurt, etc.) since times
immemorial. Probiotics for treatment of illnesses and ailments are gaining
significance.
• Scientific studies have revealed linkages between distal gut microbial ecology,
microbial community gene content, and host immunity [June L Round et al Nature
Reviews Immunology, 2009].
• Other studies have also demonstrated links between microbial ecology and
various metabolic disorders [Ping Li et al Nature, 2010] such as obesity,
inflammatory diseases, and diabetes [Vijaykumar et al Science, 2010].
