L. gasseri evokes pro-Th1 responses, whereas L. reuteri appears to possess more anti-inflammatory properties. Cytokine levels in the medium after co-culture of human PBMC and Lactobacillus species (two independent experiments involving a total of nine PBMC donors). *P<0.01 vs medium, #P<0.01 vs L. gasseri 311476.
