The 23 pages that link to Probiotics, each with the reason it gives.

• FermentationRelated: Some fermented foods contain live microbes, though not every fermented food is probiotic.

• Dietary supplementRelated: Probiotic products are marketed for digestive health, though effects vary by strain and condition.

• Gut microbiotaCompared with: Unlike whole-community transfer, probiotics usually introduce selected strains with condition-specific evidence.

• Clostridioides difficile infectionCompared with: They are sometimes proposed for prevention, but evidence does not make them a substitute for established treatment.

• MicrobiomeRelated: They are used to alter microbial communities, though effects depend on strain and condition.

• YogurtCompared with: Some yogurts contain probiotic strains, but fermentation alone does not make every culture probiotic.

• Food microbiologyRelated: Some fermented foods carry microbes studied for possible health benefits.

• Lactic acid bacteriaRelated: Some strains of lactic acid bacteria are studied and used as probiotics, though effects are strain-specific.

• Skin microbiomeRelated: Probiotic approaches seek to alter skin microbial activity, though evidence and methods vary.

• SauerkrautRelated: Some unpasteurized sauerkraut contains live microbes, though health effects depend on evidence and product.

• DiarrheaCompared with: Evidence for preventing or shortening diarrhea varies by strain and clinical setting.

• Fecal microbiota transplantationCompared with: Probiotics use selected strains rather than the complex donor-derived community transferred in this treatment.

• Gut-brain axisRelated: Probiotics are studied as a way to alter microbial signals relevant to gut and brain function.

• Human microbiomeRelated: Some products aim to modify microbial activity, but effects depend on strain and clinical context.

• Food fermentationRelated: Some fermented foods contain live microbes, though fermentation alone does not establish probiotic benefit.

• Starter cultureCompared with: A starter’s role in fermentation does not by itself establish a probiotic health benefit.

• Élie MetchnikoffRelated: Metchnikoff’s interest in fermented milk and intestinal microbes helped inspire later probiotic research.

• LactobacillusRelated: Some strains historically called Lactobacillus are studied or marketed as probiotics.

• Bioprocess engineeringRelated: Producing viable probiotic cultures requires controlled growth, harvesting, and formulation.

• DiverticulitisCompared with: Evidence is insufficient to establish them as reliable prevention or treatment for diverticulitis.

• KefirRelated: Kefir contains live microbes, though a health effect depends on strains, dose, and evidence.

• BifidobacteriumNarrower topic: Some Bifidobacterium strains are marketed and studied as probiotics.

• Frozen yogurtRelated: Some products retain live cultures, though freezing and processing affect their survival.
