Bacteria
Bifidobacterium bifidum
Bifidobacterium bifidum is a bacterial species that lives naturally in the human gut, especially in infants, and is used in probiotic products.
Who needs particular caution?
Live probiotics pose greater risks in people with severe illness or weakened immunity; serious infections have also occurred in premature infants. These groups need an individual clinical assessment of benefits and risks. 1
What did the IBS trial find?
Adverse events with MIMBb75 were similar to placebo over four weeks; longer-term safety was not tested. 2
