Resident
The term “resident” comes from Latin and means “to settle.” Resident bacteria are therefore microorganisms that have established themselves firmly in the microbiome over a long period of time. They have thus “settled” in the gut and remain there.
Transient bacteria
Transient (from Latin transire = to pass by) bacterial strains, on the other hand, are organisms that do not colonize the microbiome. They are just passing through and are simply excreted by the body.
However, it is important to note that probiotics do not need to colonize the intestines to be effective!
Scientists have discovered that probiotics exert their effects primarily as transient bacteria They travel through the digestive tract and interact with your immune cells, intestinal cells, nutrients, and existing bacteria along the way to provide direct and indirect benefits. Some improve gene expression involved in signaling the tight connections that help protect against intestinal permeability—this means a tight intestinal barrier. The intestinal barrier determines which substances from the digestive tract can pass through the intestinal wall into the body. A healthy intestinal barrier is therefore a protective barrier that makes it more difficult for pathogens and harmful bacteria to penetrate the intestinal wall into the body—which, in turn, has a positive effect on your immune system.
Other transient bacteria promote the release of neurotransmitters that stimulate muscle contractions for increased motility, leading to better and more regular bowel movements. Regular bowel movements facilitate the passage of food and can prevent conditions like constipation. Furthermore, some bacteria produce byproducts such as short-chain fatty acids, which are beneficial for metabolic and intestinal health.
Continuous intake
Since the transient bacteria are excreted at the end of their journey through our intestines, continuous intake is important. Therefore, probiotics only achieve their best health benefits through consistent use.
