“The ageing process results from the activity of
putrefactive (proteolytic) microbes producing toxic
substances in the large bowel.
Proteolytic bacteria such as clostridia, which are
part of the normal gut flora, produce toxic
substances including phenols, indols and ammonia
from the digestion of proteins.”
German professor Alfred Nissle, in 1917 isolated a
strain of Escherichia coli from the feces of a First
World War soldier who did not develop enterocolitis
during a severe outbreak of shigellosis.
In those days, antibiotics were not yet discovered,
and Nissle used the strain with considerable success
in acute cases of infectious intestinal diseases
(salmonellosis and shigellosis). Escherichia coli Nissle
1917 is still in use and is one of the few examples of a
non-LAB probiotic.

In the 1960s the dairy industry began to
promote fermented milk products containing
Lactobacillus acidophilus.
In subsequent decades other [Lactobacillus]
species have been introduced including
Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus casei, and
Lactobacillus johnsonii, because they are
intestinal species with beneficial properties.
