Why it matters

Lactobacillaceae can prevent harmful microbes from growing, support the gut's protective barrier, and help reduce inflammation. They also break down certain carbohydrates, producing helpful substances like lactate and acetate. Members of the Lactobacillaceae family, such as Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus, Lacticaseibacillus paracasei, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus acidophilus are often used as probiotics.

Reference ranges

There is no established reference range for Lactobacillaceae in the stool.
