The prophylaxis functions of Lactobacillus fermentumGLF‐217 and Lactobacillus plantarumFLP‐215 on ulcerative colitis via modulating gut microbiota of mice

The strong connection between gut microbes and human health has been confirmed by an increasing number of studies. Although probiotics have been found to relieve ulcerative colitis, the mechanism varies by the species involved. In this study, the physiological, immune and pathological factors of mice were measured and shotgun metagenomic sequencing was conducted to investigate the potential mechanisms in preventing ulcerative colitis.
