Lactobacillus salivarius UALs07 and Reduced Inflammatory Response

Research synthesisLow evidenceModerate effect3 studies · 3 beneficial · 0 neutral · 0 harmful

Across 3 studies, all reported beneficial effects of Lactobacillus salivarius UALs07 on reducing inflammatory response, with effect sizes ranging from moderate to large. One randomized controlled trial in healthy young adults (n=45) found statistically significant reductions in several inflammatory markers (hs-CRP, IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α). The evidence base is very small and no consistent dose or form data were reported.

Caveats: Evidence base is small (only 3 studies) — conclusions should be considered preliminary. Available evidence is overwhelmingly positive — clinical literature in this area is subject to publication bias (null-result studies are less likely to be published or indexed). One study used a murine model and another was a genome sequencing paper with limited relevance to human outcomes. No dose or duration information was consistently reported across the studies.

Similarly, when compared to the placebo group, the serum concentrations of inflammatory markers such as high sensitivity C-reactive protein, interleukin (IL) 6, IL-1β, and tumor necrosis factor α were significantly (P < .05) reduced in both the experimental groups, but again the reduction in the synbiotic group was more pronounced.

The validity of L. salivarius as a probiotic to suppress H. pylori and thus reduce the inflammatory response was again confirmed in vivo by using an H. pylori-infected gnotobiotic murine model.
