Psychobiotic Therapy: Method to Reinforce the Immune System.

Area of Science:

• Microbiology
• Neuroscience
• Immunology

Background:

• Psychobiotics are microorganisms influencing the gut-brain axis.
• They affect central nervous system functions and host immunity.
• Key genera include Lactobacillus, Lactococcus, and Bifidobacterium.

Purpose of the Study:

• To explore the potential of psychobiotics in improving mental and immune health.
• To highlight psychobiotic therapy as a strategy for managing stress, anxiety, and dysbiosis.
• To investigate the gut-brain axis connection for novel therapeutic approaches.

Main Methods:

• Review of existing literature on psychobiotics and their effects.
• Analysis of microbial genera with psychobiotic properties.
• Examination of psychobiotic therapy's impact on mood and immunity.

Main Results:

• Psychobiotics demonstrate antidepressant and anxiolytic properties.
• They can enhance immune balance against pathogens.
• Psychobiotic therapy shows potential for improving quality of life.

Conclusions:

• Psychobiotic therapy is a promising strategy for mental and immune well-being.
• It offers a potential alternative treatment for mental and immunological disorders.
• Targeting gut health represents a novel approach to mental health care.
