Abstract

Breast milk stands as an exceptional reservoir for the isolation of potential functional bacterial strains, particularly lactic acid bacteria (LAB).The breast milk-derived LAB has the potential to promote the metabolism and absorption of nutrients within the intestine, construct intestinal barrier, and regulate gut microbiota.Recent studies undertaken by research institutions and enterprises have focused on the isolation, rigorous screening, and in-depth functional evaluation of the breast milk-derived LAB.Furthermore, these strains have been demonstrated to possess inherent capabilities in maintaining and restoring intestinal homeostasis.To optimise the utilisation of these LAB strains, it is essential to provide a comprehensive overview of their species, related research on intestinal homeostasis, and industrial application status.This study comprehensively reviews the species and sources of breast milk-derived LAB strains, elucidating their roles and implications on intestinal homeostasis in early life and adulthood.Additionally, this study summarizes an overview of patents and industrial applications of breast milk-derived LAB, with a view to provide novel perspectives for functional research and application.
