⚈ Probiotics are live bacteria that may confer a health benefit on the host. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and bifidobacteria are the most common types of microbes used as probiotics.
⚈ A xenobiotic is a chemical which is found in an organism but which is not normally produced or expected to be present in it. The term xenobiotics is very often used in the context of pollutants such as dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls.
⚈ Fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS) and lactulose have been classified as prebiotics. Prebiotics are non-digestible food ingredients that stimulate the growth and/or activity of bacteria in the digestive system in ways claimed to be beneficial to health.
⚈ β-Lactam antibiotics (beta-lactam antibiotics) are a broad class of antibiotics, consisting of all antibiotic agents that contains a β-lactam ring in their molecular structures.
