Efficacy and safety of autoprobiotic therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

The original article presents the results of a study in which 12 patients with DM type 2 received 14-day therapy with an industrial probiotic (E. faecium L3 strains) or autoprobiotic (patient's own E. faecium). Therapy with the industrial probiotic and autoprobiotic had approximately the same effect on the severity of gastroenterological complaints and the quantitative/qualitative characteristics of the intestinal microbiota. In the group of E. faecium autostrain, there was a significant decrease of C-reactive protein.
