Abstract
Lactobacillus reuteri DPC 16 is a probiotic bacterium that is commercially available. It was originally isolated from a human source and its in vitro properties have been intensively studied. This presentation will detail the functional properties of the bacterium in terms of its activity against various pathogens and its properties in some selected anti-cancer assay systems. In addition, a technique for successful delivery of the bacterium to the site of action in the gastrointestinal tract will be described.
