For the health condition: Infection
Synopsis
Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2
Lactococcus lactis has been investigated for its potential in supporting or treating infections, particularly due to its probiotic properties and its ability to modulate the immune system. Preclinical studies and some early clinical work suggest that L. lactis can enhance mucosal immunity and may inhibit pathogenic bacteria by competing for adhesion sites or producing antimicrobial substances such as bacteriocins. Notably, genetically engineered strains of L. lactis have been explored as vehicles for delivering therapeutic molecules, such as cytokines or antigens, directly to mucosal surfaces, with some promising results in animal models of infection and inflammation.
However, direct evidence supporting the use of unspecified L. lactis strains for the treatment or prevention of infections in humans is limited. Most human studies have focused on safety and immunomodulatory effects, rather than clear clinical endpoints for infectious diseases. There is moderate evidence from preclinical models, but robust, large-scale clinical trials demonstrating efficacy in infection treatment are lacking. Therefore, while the scientific rationale exists and preliminary studies are encouraging, the overall evidence supporting the use of L. lactis for infection in humans is still emerging and rates as low-to-moderate (2 out of 5).
