Probiotics, also referred to as friendly bacteria, are microorganisms that are touted to be beneficial ones. Majority of them are bacterial strains, which resemble those inhabiting the human gastrointestinal tract. They are used in the formulation of dietary supplements, taken for improving the overall health. At times, the physician recommend them along with conventional medications. In such a case, probiotic is considered as complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). Doctors usually prescribe probiotics during or after antibiotic treatment, so as to restore the loss of beneficial bacteria.
