The purpose of the study was to compare the impact of 3 weeks of consumption of commercial yoghurt enriched with Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis BB-12 and Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-5 (P), and the same yoghurt supplemented with prebiotic-inulin (S), on feacal bacterial counts of healthy adults. A randomized, parallel-group, crossover, open-label – DBPC intervention with 66 volunteers was carried out. The 3 week administration of both P and S yoghurt increased (P lower 0.01) counts of bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus acidophilus, and reduced (P lower 0.01) counts of Clostridium spp., Enterococcus spp. and E. coli in fecal samples, in comparison with the control croup. The consumption of probiotics and synbiotics yoghurt reduced (P lower 0.05) the counts of tyramine producing enterococci and E. coli among the faecal isolates. In the synbiotics group, counts of bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus acidophilus remained higher, and counts of Clostridium spp., Enterococcus spp. and E. coli lower (P lower 0.05) after 1 week wash out period, in comparison with the preadministration phase. It was concluded that the synbiotics yoghurt was superior to the probiotics product in maintaining the increased levels of beneficial bacteria and decreased counts of potentially patogens bacteria in the intestine.
