Ligilactobacillus Salivarius

Meaning

Ligilactobacillus salivarius is a species of Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic bacteria belonging to the Ligilactobacillus genus, commonly found as a beneficial member of the human gastrointestinal and oral microbiomes. This probiotic organism is recognized for its ability to produce antimicrobial compounds and lactic acid, contributing significantly to the ecological balance and barrier function of the gut. Its presence is increasingly studied in the context of the gut-hormone axis, where a healthy microbiome influences systemic inflammation and nutrient absorption crucial for endocrine function.
