Abstract

Disclosure of mechanisms that are used by the intestinal microbiota to maintain host immune homeostasis has established a scientific basis for the use of probiotics as immunomodulators. From the standpoint of physiological action, probiotics seem to be attractive targets for the search of effective remedies to strengthen antiinfectious immune response. The potential to cause intestinal and extraintestinal infections and to disseminate genes of antimicrobial resistance necessitates careful monitoring of probiotic strains safety. WHO, FAO, EFSA and some other international organizations have formulated the principles for assessment of probiotic safety and efficacy, which contribute to the appearance on the market of reliable remedies for the correction of immune disorders.
