Pharmacology

L. reuteri taken orally passes through the GI tract, tolerating the low pH of the stomach, and adheres to the gut mucosa. L. reuteri converts glycerol into a low molecular weight, water-soluble compound 3-hydroxy propionaldehyde or reuterin. Reuterin synthesis is stimulated by contact with pathogenic bacteria that are found in the gut. L. reuteri also produces reutericyclin, a tetramic acid with an inhibitory effect on pathogenic bacteria and reutericin, a bacteriocin.
