Probiotics Regulate Gut Microbiota: An Effective Method to Improve Immunity
Open accessAbstract
Probiotics are beneficial active microorganisms that colonize the human intestines and change the composition of the flora in particular parts of the host. Recently, the use of probiotics to regulate intestinal flora to improve host immunity has received widespread attention. Recent evidence has shown that probiotics play significant roles in gut microbiota composition, which can inhibit the colonization of pathogenic bacteria in the intestine, help the host build a healthy intestinal mucosa protective layer, and enhance the host immune system. Based on the close relationship between the gut microbiota and human immunity, it has become an extremely effective way to improve human immunity by regulating the gut microbiome with probiotics. In this review, we discussed the influence of probiotics on the gut microbiota and human immunity, and the relationship between immunity, probiotics, gut microbiota, and life quality. We further emphasized the regulation of gut microflora through probiotics, thereby enhancing human immunity and improving people’s lives.
Overview
AI snapshot
Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
This narrative review argues that probiotics regulate gut microbiota composition and thereby improve host immunity through barrier maintenance, pathogen inhibition, and immune modulation. It also links gut microbiota and probiotics to obesity, sleep, and skin conditions as examples of immunity-related quality-of-life outcomes.
Key findings
- Probiotics can shift gut microbiota composition: in obese animals, probiotic treatment decreased Firmicutes and increased Actinobacteria, and probiotic-treated mice showed increased beneficial bacteria such as Oscillibacter and Prevotella and increased short-chain fatty acid concentrations.
- Probiotics support the epithelial barrier and inhibit pathogens: examples include *L. plantarum* BMCM12 extracellular proteins weakening pathogen adhesion, VSL#3 or *L. rhamnosus* GG maintaining epithelial barrier integrity, probiotic *E. coli* Nissle 1917 secreting DegP to inhibit enterohemorrhagic *E. coli*, and *Bacillus* isolates inhibiting *S. aureus* colonization via Agr signaling interference.
- Gut microbiota is required for normal immune development: germ-free mice had significantly lower ovalbumin-specific antibody titers than untreated controls, absent mucous layer, altered IgA secretion, and defective gut-associated lymphoid tissue development.
- The review reports links between immunity, sleep, and microbiota: after influenza vaccination, subjects sleeping 8 h/day had twice the influenza virus-specific antibody concentration measured 10 days after vaccination compared with subjects sleeping 4 h/day; sleep fragmentation decreased gut microbiota diversity, while *Lactobacillus casei* strain Shirota improved sleep duration and quality.
Methods
- Narrative review of existing literature on probiotics, gut microbiota, and immunity; no primary experiments or systematic review protocol are described.
- Synthesizes animal and human studies, including germ-free mouse models, probiotic supplementation trials, vaccination studies, and disease examples such as allergy, colorectal cancer, depression, obesity, sleep, and skin disorders.
- Main analysis is qualitative: mechanisms and disease associations are discussed without meta-analysis or quantitative pooling.
Limitations
- The paper does not state limitations.
- Evident from the text: as a narrative review, it lacks systematic search and inclusion criteria, risk-of-bias assessment, and meta-analysis.
- Many cited findings come from animal models or associative human studies, and the review does not report primary sample sizes or effect estimates for most claims.

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-09, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-09 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
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.
