In the last few decades, scientists have provided encouraging evidence that probiotic microorganisms are valuable in the prevention and treatment of different diseases in humans and animals. Moreover, great advances have been made in the understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms of probiotic action. The articles presented in this Special Issue investigate several aspects of probiotic interaction with the host and their beneficial impact on health. We expect that these articles will stimulate new discussions and investigations to cover the great diversity of probiotics, applications and mechanisms of action that still need to be addressed.
