Giardiasis is one of the most common intestinal parasitic diseases in the world. Several strains are tested, overview. The two most active strains in vitro are Lactobacillus johnsonii strain La1 and Lactobacillus gasseri strain CNCM I-4884. Only Lactobacillus gasseri strain CNCM I-4884 is able to significantly antagonize parasite growth with a dramatic reduction of the Giardia duodenalis strain WB6 trophozoites load in the small intestine | Lactobacillus gasseri |
