identified a new type of probiotic bacteria that can bring health benefits.
It is said that this bacteria can prevent many types of health problems.
The name of this bacteria is ‘Ligilactobacillus salivarius F14’. It is
remarkable that this bacteria was found in the intestines of the tribal
people of Odisha.
The scientists of the Institute of Life Sciences have undertaken a special
research project on this as the people of the tribal areas of Odisha are
healthier compared to others. It started three years ago. Focused on issues
affecting the health of tribals of Odisha. As part of that, research was
conducted on the good bacteria in their intestines. Then they came to know

Probiotics are things that live in our intestines and do good for us. They
protect our health by fighting against bad bacteria that enter our body.
Probiotics are also available in pharmaceutical form. These microorganisms
provide many health benefits to animals and humans. They protect against
diarrhoea, obesity and problems related to the immune system,” said the
scientists of the Institute of Life Sciences. Their research has been
published in the World Journal of Biotechnology.
