Resumen:
Although no known risks on human health havebeen reported, genetically modified (GM) microorganismsshould be evaluated from a biosafety point ofview before considering their insertion in the humanfood chain.The object of this work was to evaluate thebiosafety of GM lactic acid bacteria (GM-LAB) using ananimal model.Mice received a high concentration of GM-LABor a native strain during 30 days and different healthparameters were evaluated.The GM-LAB did not produce adverse effectson health of recipient animals as shown by normalgrowth, haematological values and other physiologicalparameters evaluated in this study.From these results, we can suppose that theGM-LAB used in this study are just as safe forconsumers as the native strains from which they werederived.
