Daily Mail Online : declared in Rubbing good bacteria into your skin prevents acne

Professor Gallo is currently testing an eczema cream that contains good bacteria taken from a patient's own skin. 'Treating' the problem with good bacteria reduces the number of harmful bacteria possibly linked to skin complaints. 'Whereas with eczema we think the bacteria might have a preventative role, with acne, the bacteria play a different role. 'The inflammation that occurs with acne is partly due to the presence of bacteria and the skin overreacting to that. But since a balance of bacteria can help our skin, should we be avoiding frequent washing of our hands and face?

Adding good bacteria to the gut lifts mice out of depression

It found that when lactobacillus levels were low, symptoms of depression were observed and levels of kynurenine, a metabolite in the blood linked to depression, were high. The study, published in Scientific Reports, was conducted on mice. It looked at the amount of lactobacillus, a probiotic, or 'helpful bacteria', in their gut. The study's lead author, Alban Gaultier, said: 'The big hope for this kind of research is that we won't need to bother with complex drugs and side effects when we can just play with the microbiome. The study's authors claim that the findings could, in the future, lead to the development of clinical non-drug mental health treatments.


Read moreImproves sleep, protects against stressA study published just last month found that prebiotics, can help improve sleep and protect against the negative effects of stress. So here we round up the benefits of consuming foods rich in probiotics and prebiotics. The researchers think that probiotics could have changed gut bacteria in a way that resulted in less body fat accumulation, and that the probiotics could have reduced fat absorption. Previous research has also shown that stress can reduce healthy diversity of gut bacteria, but the rats on the prebiotic diet maintained a healthy and diverse gut microbiota even after exposure to stress. The findings came after an earlier study published in The Lancet Psychiatry stated that an increasing amount of evidence suggests an important relationship between the quality of diet and mental health.
