First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This completed study tested whether an oral probiotic called Streptococcus salivarius eK12 is safe and well-tolerated in healthy adults. Researchers gave 29 participants either the probiotic or a placebo and monitored for side effects, changes in vital signs, and blood test results. The goal was to see if this probiotic could eventually be used to support oral health and prevent infections like strep throat.

What this could mean

Active substance

Oral probiotic Streptococcus salivarius eK12 (Bactoblis® Evol)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could confirm that the probiotic is safe for people, paving the way for larger studies on preventing strep throat or improving oral hygiene.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage safety study with only 29 participants, so it cannot prove the probiotic works for any condition. Side effects like stomach upset are possible.
