  "term": "Lactobacillus fermentum strain HEM 1036",
  "field": "Oncology and biomedicine",
  "definition": "A nutritional supplement containing a probiotic strain of the Gram-positive bacterium Lactobacillus (L.) fermentum, with gastrointestinal (GI) protective and immunomodulating activities. Upon oral administration of L. fermentum strain HEM 1036, the bacteria in this probiotic supplement help maintain adequate colonization of the GI tract, modulate the composition of the normal microflora., and promote the production of beneficial short-chain fatty acids while inhibiting the production of harmful short-chain fatty acids, which further improves the intestinal environment. Upon colonization of the GI tract, the probiotic bacteria form a protective barrier that helps maintain the integrity of the epithelial barrier. This will interfere with the attachment of pathogenic bacteria and other harmful substances, prevent inflammation and improve GI function.",
