PMID:  Appl Microbiol Biotechnol. 2020 Feb ;104(3):1243-1257. Epub 2019 Dec 18. PMID: 31853561 Abstract Title:  Effects of a probiotic intervention on Escherichia coli and high-fat diet-induced intestinal microbiota imbalance. Abstract:  Obesity is often associated with intestinal microbiota imbalance and increased Gram-negative bacteria characterized by higher endotoxin levels. Therefore, a study on the joint effects of …
