Description

*Lactobacillus* can be described as a 'friendly' bacteria, helping our bodies and living in our systems without causing disease, and they are found in some fermented food products such as yogurt.

*Lactobacillus* is a genus of Gram-positive, facultative anaerobic or microaerophilic, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacteria. They are a major part of the lactic acid bacteria group (i.e., they convert sugars to lactic acid). In humans, they constitute a significant component of the microbiota at a number of body sites, such as the digestive system, urinary system, and genital system.
