Research on bacteria

This is the research on the bacteria that Ms Menon and Justin wanted.

Escherichia Coli is a gram negative bacterium that is commonly found in the lower intestine of warm-blooded animals. Most E.Coli strains are harmless, but some can cause serious food poisoning in humans, and are occasionally responsible for costly product recalls.

Some research has indicated that L. acidophilus may provide additional health benefits, including improves gastrointestinal function, a boosted immune system, and a decrease in the frequency of vaginal yeast infections.
