How does a probiotic concept work?
A probiotic (pro-life) concept purposely uses competing bacterial strains as a biological control This is significantly different from an antibiotic (anti-life) concept which infers the use of a killing agent to destroy the offender. Anti-biotics are very broad in scope and will attack all bacteria, harmful, useful and harmless alike. It is a fact that bacteria are becoming immune to most of the antibiotics in use today. For the most part, bacteria are not immune to competition, nor are they likely to become immune. A diverse presence of useful and harmless strains, widely dispersed, will help maintain a natural bacterial balance in any environment.
