Probiotic potential: Some strains of Leuconostoc, particularly Leuconostoc mesenteroides, have been studied for their potential probiotic properties. Probiotics are live microorganisms that confer health benefits when consumed in adequate amounts. Leuconostoc strains may contribute to gastrointestinal health by promoting the balance of gut microbiota, enhancing immune function, and potentially alleviating gastrointestinal disorders such as diarrhea and inflammatory bowel diseases. However, more research is needed to fully understand the probiotic potential of Leuconostoc species.
Dental health: While generally considered beneficial, Leuconostoc species have been associated with dental caries (tooth decay). They are part of the complex oral microbiota and can contribute to the formation of dental plaque and acid production, which can lead to enamel erosion and tooth decay if oral hygiene is inadequate.
Infections: Although rare, Leuconostoc species have been implicated in infections, particularly in immunocompromised individuals or those with underlying health conditions. Leuconostoc species have been isolated from infections such as endocarditis (inflammation of the heart lining), bacteremia (presence of bacteria in the bloodstream), and other invasive infections. However, these infections are uncommon and typically occur in individuals with predisposing factors or medical interventions.
Food spoilage: In food processing, Leuconostoc species can contribute to food spoilage if not properly controlled. They can produce undesirable flavors, odors, and textures in fermented foods, leading to quality issues and reduced shelf life. However, in controlled fermentation processes, certain Leuconostoc strains are intentionally used to impart desirable sensory characteristics to fermented foods such as sauerkraut, kimchi, and sourdough bread.

Different labs use different software to read the sample. See this post for more details.
One lab may say you have none, another may say you have a lot! - This may be solely due to the software they are using to estimate.
We deem lab specific values using values from the KM method for each specific lab to be the most reliable.
