Abstract

Probiyotikler, yeterli miktarda uygulandıklarında konakçıya sağlık yararları sağlayan canlı mikroorganizmalardır. Probiyotikler bağırsak florasını düzenler, bakteriyel toksinlere karşı hidrolitik enzimler salgılar, toksin reseptörlerini inaktive eder, immun sistemi düzenler, patojenlerin virülensini azaltır, olumsuz metabolitleri azaltır, yararlı metabolitleri arttırır, infeksiyonlarda ve inflamatuvar hastalıklarda tedavi ve korunmada rol oynar. Lactobacillus, Streptococcus, Lactococcus ve Bifidobacterium cinslerine ait çeşitli türler, bugüne kadarki en popüler probiyotik etkenlerdir. Son yıllarda probiyotikler, hem insanlarda hem de hayvanlarda tedavi edici ve koruyucu amaçlarla kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. Son yıllarda bal arısı sağlığında da oldukça sık kullanılmaya başlanmıştır.

Use of Probiyotic Bacteriae in Honey Bees

Abstract

Probiotics provide health benefits to the host when not administered adequately. Probiotics regulate the intestinal flora, secrete hydrolytic enzymes against bacterial toxins, inactivate toxin receptors, regulate the immune system, reduce the virulence of pathogens, reduce negative metabolites, increase their metabolites, play a role in infections and inflammatory diseases and protection. Various species belonging to the Lactobacillus, Streptococcus, Lactococcus and Bifidobacterium genera are by far the most popular probiotic agents. Recent probiotics are being used for therapeutic and preventive purposes in both humans and animals. The latest news has started to be used quite frequently in the honey bee right.
