5i An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Guardian:\r
6i \r
7i > The gut microbiome is the sum total of all the\r
8i micro-organisms living in a person's gut, and has been shown\r
9i to play a huge role in human health. New research has found\r
10i probiotics -- usually taken as supplements or in foods such as\r
11i yoghurt, kimchi or kefir -- [1]can hinder a patient's gut\r
12i microbiome from returning to normal after a course of\r
13i antibiotics , and that different people respond to probiotics\r
14i in dramatically different ways. In the [2]first of two papers\r
15i published in the journal Cell, researchers performed\r
16i endoscopies and colonoscopies to sample and study the gut\r
17i microbiomes of people who took antibiotics before and after\r
18i probiotic consumption. Another group were given samples of\r
19i their own gut microbiomes collected before consuming\r
20i antibiotics. The researchers found the microbiomes of those\r
21i who had taken the probiotics had suffered a "very severe\r
22i disturbance." "Once the probiotics had colonized the gut, they\r
23i completely inhibited the return of the indigenous microbiome\r
24i which was disrupted during antibiotic treatment," said Eran\r
25i Elinav, an immunologist at the Weizmann Institute of Science\r
26i in Israel and lead author on the studies.\r

31i intestinal tract of 25 volunteers with that of their stools.\r
32i They found that stool bacteria only partially correlated with\r
33i the microbiomes functioning inside their bodies. "So the fact\r
34i that we all almost exclusively rely on stool in our microbiome\r

37i examined the colonization and impact of probiotics on 15\r
38i people by sampling within their gastrointestinal tract. They\r
39i divided the individuals into two groups: one were given a\r
40i preparation made of 11 strains of very commonly used\r
41i probiotics and the other were given a placebo. Of those who\r
42i were given probiotics, he said, "We could group the\r
43i individuals into two distinct groups: one which resisted the\r
44i colonisation of the probiotics, and one in which the\r
45i probiotics colonized the gut and modified the composition of\r
46i the gut microbiome and the genes of the host individual."\r
