Studies conducted in vivo and in vitro demonstrated that in the case of infectious diseases there are two potential sites of action of Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745:(1)An action on enteropathogenic microorganisms(adhesion of bacteria and their elimination or an effect on their virulence factors: Toxins, lipopolysaccharide,etc.); and(2) a direct action on the intestinal mucosa(trophic effects, effects on epithelial reconstitution, anti-secretory effects, anti-inflammatory,immunomodulators). Oral administration of Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745 to healthy subjects does not alter their microbiota. However, in the case of diseases associated with the use of antibiotics or chronic diarrhea, Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745 can restore the intestinal microbiota faster. The interaction of Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745 with the innate immune system have been recently demonstrated thus opening up a new therapeutic potential of this yeast in the case of diseases associated with intestinal infections but also other pathologies associated with dysbiosis such as inflammatory diseases.展开更多
