Biomerieux, France) and the Riboprint method (DuPont Qualicon,
Wilmington, DE) and the strains were identical in both tests
systems. Thus, changes in the adhesion capacity apparently
occurred during industrial production.
If adhesion is modified during industrial processes, other
probiotic traits may also be altered. Adhesion properties,
including adhesion to intestinal cells (eg, Caco-2) and human
intestinal mucus preparations, should be monitored carefully.
These control measurements form the basis of human intestinal
colonization, health effects, and future monitoring of production
procedures.
