Probiotic VSL3 Induced Changes in the Gut Microbiome and Peripheral Immune Response in Multiple Sclerosis Patients

This study investigates the benefits of the oral supplement with probiotic VSL3 as immunomodulating agent in the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS). The results showed an anti-inflammatory immune response and reduced mean fluorescence intensity of HLA-DR on the surface of dendritic cells with no detection of toxic effects. Side effects usually limit the use of other disease-modifying therapies for MS, and this is not the case with VSL3.
