 One 2011 study which administered fermented milk to mice concluded that the effects of probiotics on gut bacteria may be subtle.(({{pubmed>long:22030749}})) "Cocktails of classic probiotics, which people have been trying for years, may have some benefit but the effect seems to be quite small," [[http://www.nature.com/news/microbiome-sequencing-offers-hope-for-diagnostics-1.10299|according to David Relman]].  One 2011 study which administered fermented milk to mice concluded that the effects of probiotics on gut bacteria may be subtle.(({{pubmed>long:22030749}})) "Cocktails of classic probiotics, which people have been trying for years, may have some benefit but the effect seems to be quite small," [[http://www.nature.com/news/microbiome-sequencing-offers-hope-for-diagnostics-1.10299|according to David Relman]].

 +Lactic acid bacteria and yeasts in kefir grains and kefir made from them.   (({{pubmed>long:11938463}}))
 +
 +In an investigation of the changes in the microflora along the pathway: 
 +
 +  * kefir grains (A)
 +  * kefir made from kefir grains (B)
 +  * kefir made from kefir as inoculum (C) 
 +
 +the following species of lactic acid bacteria (83-90%) of the microbial count in the grains) were identified: Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis, Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, Lactobacillus helveticus, Lactobacillus casei subsp. pseudoplantarum and Lactobacillus brevis. Yeasts (10-17%) identified were Kluyveromyces marxianus var. lactis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida inconspicua and Candida maris. 
 +
 +In the microbial population of kefir grains and kefir made from them the homofermentative lactic streptococci (52-65% and 79-86%, respectively) predominated. Within the group of lactobacilli, the homofermentative thermophilic species L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and L. helveticus (70-87% of the isolated bacilli) predominated. 
 +
 +Along the pathway A-->B-->C, the streptococcal proportion in the total kefir microflora increased by 26-30% whereas the lactobacilli decreased by 13-23%. K. marxianus var. lactis was permanently present in kefir grains and kefirs, whereas the dominant lactose-negative yeast in the total yeast flora of the kefir grains dramatically decreased in kefir C.
