Bifidobacterium lactisBifidobacterium lactis and Bifidobacterium animalis are much more closely related than originally thought and they have now been put into the same category. The name B lactis is the "old-fashioned" name of what is now recognized as Bifidobacterium animalis supsp lactis. You'll learn more about it, where you find it and what supplement it is in on that page. The official categorization of them is thus:- what was Bifidobacterium animalis is now Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. animalis and what was Bifidobacterium lactis is now Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis.Whatever you call it, this is a useful lactic acid producing bacteria that competes for nutrients and intestinal wall space, thereby forcing pathogens out of the digestive tract.
