CAI-1), and enhanced immunomodulation through cytokine production. Results have demonstrated the potential of genetically modified probiotics in preventing and treating gastrointestinal infections through mechanisms that include competitive exclusion, bacteriocin production, intestinal barrier reinforcement, and immune modulation. However, challenges remain in ensuring genetic stability and preventing horizontal gene transfer. Future research should focus on optimizing probiotic strains for targeted applications while addressing biosafety concerns. By understanding the complex interplay between probiotics, pathogens, and host immunity, innovative strategies can be developed to harness the full therapeutic potential of probiotic interventions in maintaining gut health.
