Brief Biography
The gut microflora
NB: Only major
groups shown here
and mainly faecal
flora. Up to 1,000
species reported!
Sterile GIT
Breastfed infants
dominated by
bifidobacteria
While formula fed
have complex adult
flora
Flora stabilizes at abt
2 years and is
essential for optimal
gut functioning
Old age
Less bifidobacteria
More anaerobic and
putrefactive flora
Gut malfunction
The gut microflora
O’Hara and Shanaha. 2006. The gut flora as a forgotten organ. EMB, Vol 7 (7), 688 – 693; Mizutani,(1992)
• Changing lifestyles make it difficult to maintain a ‘balance’
– Stress
– Changing dietary patterns
– Eating habits
– Consumption of antibiotics
• Possible shift of ‘balance’!
– Reduction of potentially health‐promoting bacteria (e.g lactobacilli
and bifidobacteria)
– Increase in more harmful flora (e.g clostridia, sulphate‐reducers and
proteolytic bacteroides)
The gut microflora
A cocktail of the good guys and the bad guys
The gut microflora
The good guys
The bad guys
Produce vitamins
Produce toxins
Ferment food
Produce carcinogens:
Bowel cancer,
Modulate the immune system
Constipation
Enhance digestion and absorptionn
Diarrhea
Inhibit harmful species
Inflamatory bowel diseases
Remove carcinogens (reduce enzymes e.g
Β‐glucuronidase, azoreductase,
nitroreductase) and toxins
Putrefaction
Produce short chain fatty acids (SCFAs)
Increased susceptibility to transient
enteropathogens e.g Salmonela,
Campylobacter, E. coli...
Elie Metchnikoff
• Earliest mention of the probiotic concept by
Metchnikoff in 1908
– Complex microflora in the colon affected
‘autointoxication’
– Longevity of Bulgarian peasants due to consumption
of large quantities of yoghurt
– The live microbes were believed to promote good
health
– Origins of the Bacillus bulgaricus (L. delbrueckii subsp.
bulgaricus), which together with Streptococcus
salivarius subsp. thermophilus form the yoghurt
starter
The concept of probiotics: origins
”Inflammation as understood in man and higher anmials is a penomenon that almost always results from the intervention of
some pathogenic microbe”, E. Metchnikoff.
• Several have been proposed over time:
– Substances secreted by one microorganism that stimulate the
growth of another (Lilly and Stillwell, 1965)
– Organisms and substances that influence intestinal microbial
balance (Parker, 1974)
– A live microbial feed supplement which beneficially affects the host
animal by improving its intestinal microbial balance (Fuller, 1989)
– A live microbial feed supplement that is beneficial to health
(Salminen et al., 1998).
• Currently acceptable definition:
– Live microorganisms which when administered in adequate
amounts confer a health benefit on the host
(FAO/WHO, 2002)
The concept of probiotics: Definition
• Probiotic ingestion can be recommended as a preventative
approach
– To help main the balance of the intestinal microflora thus enhancing ‘well‐being’.
– Prevent or alleviate some conditions
• Some studies have shown that effects can be due to:
– dead bacteria i.e paraprobiotics (Taverniti and Guglielmetti, 2011)
– bacterial products (postbiotics; Tsilingiri and Rescigno, 2013)
• However, the definition still emphasizes live microrganisms
The concept of probiotics: Definition
Guidelines for Probiotics*
• FAO/WHO in 2001: need for clear guidelines for
systematic evaluation of probiotics and their
related health claims
• Functional foods

Probiotic
Guidelines for evaluation of probiotics for food use. (FAO/WHO, 2002)
Probiotic effects are
generally strain specific. Save
for example S.thermophillus
and L.delbruecki ssp.
Bulgaricus which enhance
lactose digestion
Main in vitro tests for study of probiotic strains
• Resistance to gastric acidity
• Bile acid resistance
• Adherence to mucus and/or human epithelial cells and cell lines
• Antimicrobial activity against potentially pathogenic bacteria
• Ability to reduce pathogen adhesion to surfaces
• Bile salt hydrolase activity
• Resistance to spermicides (applicable to probiotics for vaginal use)

The concept of probiotics: guidelines
Safety considerations of probiotic strains
• Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria associated with food are
historically considered to be safe. GRAS status
• Probiotics may however, be theoretically responsible for four
kinds of side effects:
– Systemic infections: few reported in patients with underlying medical
conditions
– Deleterious metabolic activities
– Excessive immune stimulation in susceptible individuals
– Gene transfer
*

Canada, April 30 and May 1, 2002
The concept of probiotics: guidelines
Safety considerations of probiotic strains
• Determination of antibiotic resistance patterns
• Assessment of certain metabolic activities (e.g D‐lactate production,
bile salts deconjugation...)
• Assessment of side effects during human studies
• Testing for toxin production if strain belongs to a species that is a
known mammalian toxin producer
• Determining hemolytic actvity if strain belongs to a species with
known hemolytic potential
• Lack of infectivity in immunocompromized animals

Health claims related probiotic strains
• General health claims allowed in most countries for probiotic containg foods.
For example, ’Improves gut health’
• Specific health claims, e.g ’reduces the incidence and severity of rotavirus
diarrhea in infants’ can be used where sufficient scientific evidence exists,
(FAO/WHO, 2002)
• Manufacturer responsible for getting independent third party review by
experts to establish if the claim is truthful and not misleading
The concept of probiotics: claims
Market
• Major product categories
The probiotics market
Foods and beverages:
dairy, fermented meat, bakery,
breakfast cereals, beverages, meat, fish
& eggs and soy products
Dietary supplements:
tablets, capsules, and powders
Animal feed
• Global probiotics market valued at USD 32.06 billion in 2013
(Grand View Research, 2016).
• Estimated to be valued at USD 33.19 billion in 2015
• Projected to reach USD 46.55 billion by 2020.
– For comparison: The global value of the Coca‐Cola brand rose
from USD 41.41 billion in 2006 to USD 83.84 in 2015
• Industry growth likely due to:
– Increasing global health awareness among consumers
– Growth of global functional food industry
– Technological advancements
– Rising disposable incomes
The probiotics market

• High costs of randomized control trials
– Lack of government investment in R & D
– Lack of industrial and philanthropic funding
• High costs of developing and storing of cultures
• Getting the consumer to accept probiotics
– The fear of eating microbes
• Legislation
– Non existent in a number of countries
Major challenges in Africa
• Increasing interest in natural, non‐drug related remedies
• Limited knowledgeable about probiotics
– About 95% of medical practitioners in Nigeria not familiar with
probiotics yet 64% if favour of their use (Anakum, 2006)
• Populations exposed to:
– Poor hygiene conditions
– Toxic compounds (aflatoxins)
– Malnutrition (e.g vitamin deficiency, iron deficiency)
– Chronic enteric infections (e.g diarrhea which accounts for 37% of
childhood deaths in Sub‐Saharan Africa)
– Increasing NCDs
Opportunities for Africa
• Unavailability of locally sourced strains with documented
health benefits
• A great diversity of traditional fermented foods
– Potential sources of probiotics
– Potentially acceptable probiotic vehicles
• Exisistence of several well document probiotic strains from
the developed countries
– No need for expensive trials
– Could be evaluated for use in local foods
Opportunities for Africa
• A
generic
strain of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG
• LGG isolated in 1983 from the intestinal tract of a
healthy human being
• Patent filed by Sherwood Gorbach and Barry Gordin
on 17
th
April 1985
– Strain initially identified as Lb. acidophilus GG (ATCC
Accession No. 53103)
• Patent of LGG expired in 2006
Lb. rhamnosus Yoba
• Concept of ’generic probiotics’ introduced by Kort and
Sybesma (2012).
– Patent‐expired probiotics are free to be used by others
• Remco Kort and Wilbert Sybesma (Yoba For Life
Foundation) isolated LGG from a probiotic product
• Clone of LGG named L.rhamnosus Yoba
– Deposited in the BCCM/LMG labs in Belgium
– Identity and genome sequence evaluated
• Yoba for Life Foundation introduced L. rhamnosus Yoba in
Uganda in 2013
– First introduced in a small dairy plant in Mukono district
– Mainly used in yoghurt production
