A recent study published in the journal scientific reveals that the two lactobacilli ( L. rhamnosus GG and L. reuteri ) had different effects on skin cells in a wound healing model. In the study, L.
rhamnosus GG promoted cell migration by allowing the cells to close the artificial wound rapidly, while L. reuteri increased rates of cell division, helping to replenish the pool of cells destroyed by the creation of the wound. In this study, researchers used bacterial extracts rather than living cells and further revealed that probiotics may hold great potential to prevent infections during wound healing. Based on above study outcomes, do you think pro-biotics could replace antibiotics in wound- healing?
