    Background:

    • Lactobacilli and lactic acid bacteria have a long-standing association with human activities.
    • These bacteria are integral to food manufacturing and perform beneficial functions within the human body.
    • Recent scientific focus has returned to the role of intestinal microflora, specifically intestinal lactobacilli.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the historical and current significance of intestinal lactobacilli.
    • To emphasize the particular importance of Lactobacillus acidophilus within the gut microbiome.
    • To highlight the renewed interest in the functional roles of these bacteria in human health.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of historical and contemporary research on lactobacilli.
    • Analysis of the role of lactobacilli in food production.
    • Examination of the interactions between lactobacilli and the human host, particularly in the gastrointestinal tract.

    Main Results:

    • Lactobacilli have been utilized in food production for centuries.
    • These bacteria contribute to various beneficial interactions in the human body.
    • Intestinal lactobacilli, especially Lactobacillus acidophilus, are key components of the gut microbiome.

    Conclusions:

    • Lactobacilli possess a significant and enduring relationship with human health and nutrition.
    • Lactobacillus acidophilus warrants continued investigation for its probiotic potential.
    • Understanding the intestinal microflora is crucial for advancing human health strategies.
