Abstract

Probiotics are live microorganisms, that when consumed in suitable amounts, confer a health benefit on the host (Hill et al., 2014). Specifically, they may exert a positive effect on improving intestinal homeostasis by modulating both the microbiota profile and metabolic functions. This modulation may conduct to beneficial alterations in the production of specific organic acids and the consumption of extracellular ammonia (Gaisawat et al., 2020; Liu et al., 2022). Monitoring these metabolites can help to track the microbial modulation induced by a specific condition.
