  Probiotic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Probiotic bacterial cultures are intended to assist the body's naturally occurring flora within the digestive tract to reestablish themselves.
There is evidence, however, that probiotics do form beneficial temporary colonies which may assist the body in the same functions as the natural flora, while allowing the natural flora time to recover from depletion.
Although use of probiotic formulations may well help in achieving these benefits, it is also possible to increase and maintain a healthy bacterial gut flora by increasing the amounts of prebiotics in the diet such as inulin, raw oats, and unrefined wheat.

"Probiotics" are live bacteria administered to animals or man to supplement this ecology of microbes in the GI tract, and therefore improve health.
Probiotics are a popular treatment for chronic candida, probably because that condition is thought to occur (at least in some cases) after the GI microflora has bee reduced by antibiotics.
Because candida infection is very common, and probiotics may be effective at preventing candida overgrowth as well as reversing it, candida is a good target pathogen for future probiotic research.
