Abstract in brief
The scientific definition of probiotics has been established for over 17 years, but there is still frequent misunderstanding and misuse of the term by scientists, media, and industry, often leading to misleading claims about their benefits and limitations.
The discovery of new microbes with potential health benefits is accelerating rapidly, but the term probiotic is often incorrectly applied to any microbe that might have therapeutic effects, rather than strictly those fitting the scientific criteria.
Strict adherence to the established scientific definition of probiotics is important to properly advance research, develop effective microbial therapies, and avoid overgeneralizations based on limited studies.]
Dr. Reid, who chaired FAO/WHO Expert Panel that authored the definition of #probiotics in 2001, has published a new definition in a perspective article @FrontMicrobiol, to reestablish & clarify the term.
