Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lactobacillus is a probiotic bacteria that has been shown to have potential benefits for anxiety and depression. It is found in yogurt and other fermented foods and has been linked to reducing stress hormones and improving mood. E.coli and Salmonella are pathogenic bacteria that can cause illness, so they would not be desirable to introduce. Bacteroides and Prevotella are both normal gut bacteria, but there is not enough research to determine if they have an impact on mental health.
