Streptococcus thermophilus and lactobacillus are efficient fashionable foreclosing lactose intolerance. Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus cultured in a test-tube appear to stimulate disease-fighting cells. The bacteria also appear to reduce the amount of nitrite (cancer causing chemical) in the body.
S. thermophilus has an important role as a probiotic, alleviating symptoms of lactose intolerance and another gastrointestinal disquiets. Studies have shown a relationship between those who consume good bacteria (Streptococcus thermophilus), in secondary configuration or otherwise, and a decrease in the likelyhood of suffering from breast cancer and infectious diarrhea. When tested in animals it showed stunted growth of tumors.
The effects of Streptococcus thermophilus on ceramide levels either in vitro on cultured human keratinocytes or in vivo on stratum corneum, have been investigated. In vitro, Streptococcus thermophilus enhanced the levels of ceramides in keratinocytes in a time-dependent way. The presence of high levels of neutral, glutathione-sensitive, sphingomyelinase in Streptococcus thermophilus could be responsible for the observed ceramide increase. The application of a base of operations cream curbing sonicated Streptococcus thermophilus in the forearm skin of 17 healthy volunteers for 7 d also led to a significant and in dispute increase of skin ceramide amounts, which could be due to the sphingomyelin hydrolysis through bacterial neutral sphingomyelinase. Indeed, similar results were obtained with a base cream containing purified bacterial neutral sphingomyelinase.
