Genes and Molecules of Lactobacilli Supporting Probiotic Action
Open accessAbstract
SUMMARY: Lactobacilli have been crucial for the production of fermented products for centuries. They are also members of the mutualistic microbiota present in the human gastrointestinal and urogenital tract. Recently, increasing attention has been given to their probiotic, health-promoting capacities. Many human intervention studies demonstrating health effects have been published. However, as not all studies resulted in positive outcomes, scientific interest arose regarding the precise mechanisms of action of probiotics. Many reported mechanistic studies have addressed mainly the host responses, with less attention being focused on the specificities of the bacterial partners, notwithstanding the completion of Lactobacillus genome sequencing projects, and increasing possibilities of genomics-based and dedicated mutant analyses. In this emerging and highly interdisciplinary field, microbiologists are facing the challenge of molecular characterization of probiotic traits. This review addresses the advances in the understanding of the probiotic-host interaction with a focus on the molecular microbiology of lactobacilli. Insight into the molecules and genes involved should contribute to a more judicious application of probiotic lactobacilli and to improved screening of novel potential probiotics.

Genomics is required to identify and elucidate antimicrobial genetic determinants, including bacteriocin and AMP biosynthesis gene clusters, which play critical roles in probiotic-mediated inhibition of pathogenic bacteria.
“In particular, genomics is required to identify and elucidate antimicrobial genetic determinants, including bacteriocin and AMP biosynthesis gene clusters, which play critical roles in probiotic-mediated inhibition of pathogenic bacteria [13].”
From Comparative Genomics-Based Evaluation of <i>Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus</i> KFOM 0134 as a Probiotic against <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (2026) · cites this paper as [13]
The ‘Genetic Tools to Study Lactobacilli’ section says genome comparisons can identify candidate genetic traits, and ‘Production of antimicrobial compounds’ describes bacteriocin loci and a bacteriocin that reduced Listeria infection in mice. But the paper does not say genomics is required: it says genome sequences need to be complemented by functional studies. It identifies bacteriocins as antimicrobial peptides, but does not establish a separate category of AMP biosynthesis gene clusters. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredStudies have suggested a set of genes associated with resistance to stress, active metabolism in the host, adhesion, and immunomodulation as genes with probiotic properties.
“Studies have suggested a set of genes associated with resistance to stress, active metabolism in the host, adhesion, and immunomodulation as genes with probiotic properties [37,38,39].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
