Abstract

Our results, suggestions and concepts regarding lectins of symbiotic/probiotic bacteria (LSB) underline their importance and future significance. LSB serve key regulators of the body's microbiocenoses. The results indicate participation of LSB in metabolic pathways of directions "Microbes—Microbes" and "Microbes—Human body". LSB is one of the key factors to converse any biotope into probiotic type. LSB support the probiotic microflora and biotope microbial infrastructure. LSB act as an anti-pathogenic cascade synergistic system that causes the destruction and then lysis of arrays and biofilms of potential pathogenic microbiocenoses such as "Candida, Staphylococus and/or Candida + Staphylococus". LSB will be especially effective (as factors resistant to antibiotics) in cases of absence of bifidobacteria and/or lactobacilli in the biotope. The synergy between LSB and other antimicrobial agents (antimycotics, phytolectins) allows the use of LSB in the design of both perspective alternative antimicrobial compositions and multipro/synbiotics. Thus, LSB are promising for medical biotechnology and agriculture.

Keywords: lectins; lactobacilli; bifidobacteria; probiotics; synbiotics; conditional pathogens; microbiocenoses; systemic properties; biotopes; diagnostics; prognostic analysis.
