Although probiotics are widely used in medicinal products, there are no generally accepted methods for their quantification. Molecular methods for probiotics quantification have been extensively developed, however they are still not widely used in routine laboratories. In this work we introduced selective quantification of Bifidobacterium infantis, Lactobacillus gasseri and Enterococcus faecium in OTC probiotic drug by real-time PCR. The described methodology will complement the culture-based quantification of bacteria in proposed study.
