Host interactions of <i>Lactococcus lactis</i> and <i>Streptococcus thermophilus</i> support their adaptation to the human gut microbiota
The identification and functional characterization of <i>Lactococcus lactis</i> PRL2024 and <i>Streptococcus thermophilus</i> PRL2025 as human-adapted reference strains provide a valuable foundation for further in vivo experimentation. Given their ecological resilience, metabolic versatility, and interaction potential with beneficial gut microbes, these strains represent promising candidates as microbiota-targeted functional foods.
