Probiotic ingestion is associated with an increase in intestinal flora of useful bacteria, which contributes to the known protective effects it has on the intestinal barrier and thereby reducing infection. The present study aims to investigate the protective effect of Lactobacillus rhamnosus gg (LGG) as an important probiotic with gastrointestinal barrier strengthening effect in sepsis. ⋯ Prophylactic use of probiotics, such as LGG to reduce bacterial translocation and strengthen the immune system, is an inexpensive and effective method of treatment, and we recommend the repetition of studies supported by prospective clinical trials.
