Lactobacillus paracasei strain and use thereof

Abstract

Human-derived probiotic strains Lactobacillus paracasei KBL382, Lactobacillus paracasei KBL384 and Lactobacillus paracasei KBL385 are described, as well as uses of the strains for improving intestinal health and treating or preventing intestinal diseases. The strains have excellent anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory functions, superb strengthening effects on tight junctions of the intestinal tract wall, suppress enteritis-induced weight loss and colon length reduction, thereby exhibiting therapeutic effects for enteritis, and significantly alleviate the symptoms of atopic dermatitis. The strains can be used as probiotic material for enhancing anti-inflammatory effects, strengthening immunity, improving intestinal health functions, and alleviating allergic diseases.
