Abstract

Probiotics are receiving increasing attention in the medical field. This is partly due to the recognition that microbial resistance to antibiotics presents a serious world-wide problem. In addition, fast growing insight into host-microbe interactions opened new routes in the development of rational alternatives in therapy and prevention of diseases as result of the complex procaryotic-eucaryotic evolutionary symphony. Consequently, long existing aspects of probiotics came into focus, and already provide exciting prospects.
