The human gut microbiome is a complex biological system whose functions and metabolic processes are the result of multiple interactions between microbial groups. Within these groups and between them, specific relationships are formed that allow duplicating and reserving individual functions, systematically managing their implementation and, in general, ensuring the reliable functioning of the entire microbiome, including in the interests of the host macroorganism. The functional and metabolic microbial nucleus plays a crucial role in the functioning of microbiocenosis as a whole system. Due to its natural properties, the modern probiotic Lactobacillus paracasei DG performs the function of a conductor of the microbiocenosis of the gastrointestinal tract, regulating the metabolic activity of the intestinal normoflora, realizing immunotropic effects due to the production of exopolysaccharides, including previously unknown exopolysaccharides b, maintaining the integrity of the intestinal epithelial barrier, exerting antiviral action, exerting distant effects against microbiocenoses of other ecological niches.
