摘要
Probiotics may be defined as microbial agents that can benefit humans and have been used primarily by mankind in fermented foods. A representative of probiotics is lactic acid bacteria (LAB), which has received attention recently due to its perceived health benefits. We reviewed research papers about Bifidobacerium and Lactobacillus, which are two of the most known of the LAB. Bifidobacerium alleviates diarrhea from various causes by improving intestinal microflora, and it has been reported that it reduces Helicobacter pylori bacteria known as the cause of gastric ulcer and stomach cancer. Bifidobacerium has also reported to be effective on immunization and allergy, reduce blood cholesterol, cancer, lactose intolerance. Lactobacillus alleviates diarrhea but has not fully demonstrated its effectiveness relative to other health issues. Several lactic acid bacteria and yeast are expected to act as probiotics, so, in the future, more research on the health benefits of lactic acid bacteria is needed.

益生菌可以定义为可以使人类受益并且主要由人类在发酵食品中使用的微生物剂。益生菌的代表是乳酸菌（LAB），由于其健康益处，最近受到关注。我们回顾了关于Bifidobacerium和Lactobacillus的研究论文，这两个是LAB中最着名的两个。Bifidobacerium通过改善肠道菌群减轻各种原因造成的腹泻，据报道，它可以减少导致胃溃疡和胃癌的幽门螺杆菌。据报道，双歧杆菌对免疫和过敏，降低血液胆固醇，癌症，乳糖不耐症也有效。乳酸杆菌缓解腹泻，但相对于其他健康问题尚未充分证明其有效性。预计几种乳酸菌和酵母菌可作为益生菌，因此，在未来，需要更多关于乳酸菌健康益处的研究。
