Lactobacillus acidophilus is one of several bacteria in the genus Lactobacillus. It is commonly used commercially together with Streptococcus salivarius in the production of yogurt.Lactobacillus acidophilus gets its name from lacto- meaning milk, -bacillus meaning rod-like in shape, and acidophilus meaning acid-loving. This bacterium thrives in more acidic environments than most microorganisms (pH 4-5 or lower) and grow best at 45 degrees Celsius. L. acidophilus occurs naturally in a variety of foods, including dairy, grain, meat, and fish. It is also present in human (and animal) intestines, mouths, and vaginas. L. acidophilus (and all lactic acid bacteria) absorb lactose and metabolize it into lactic acid. Certain related species (known as heterofermentive) also produce ethanol, carbon dioxide, and acetic acid this way. L. acidophilus itself (a homofermentative microorganism) produces only lactic acid. Like many bacteria, L. acidophilus can be killed by excess heat, moisture, or direct sunlight.
You can find Acidophilus over the counter at any pharmacy or natural foods store. Doctors say Acidophilus is even safe for infants -- especially if you're giving your child antibiotics. it'll help replace beneficial bacteria.
Some brands of Acidophilus include:
-Bacid
-Culturelle
-Dofus
-Flora-Q
-Kala
-Lactinex
-Lacto-Key
-Lacto-Pectin
-Lacto-Triblend
-Megadophilus
