Lactobacillus, a Gram-Positive, non spore forming firmicute, rod-shaped Bacilli bacterium inhabits the digestive tract of mammalian organisms, as a significant probiotic required for the digestion and breakdown of lactose in a stable gut microbiome. Lactobacillus is classified into 3 distinct groups based on metabolic pathways, Obligately Facultatively homofermentative, and Obligately heterofermentative, each are significantly different in the products produced by the metabolic pathways of each species. Lactobacillus is a lactic acid bacteria (LAB) capable of proliferating in environments of low pH, tolerating the pH level in mammalians gut microbiome, and break down lactose present in the environment, promoting a health gut microbiome. However, in novel research, it has been discovered that lactobacillus has detrimental effects lessing the efficiency of anticancer medications.
