Abstract
This study compared the effects of probiotics and postbiotics derived from *Bifidobacterium adolescentis* B8589 in a mouse colitis model. Both improved colitis symptoms (decreased histology scores), but postbiotics showed stronger effects on modulating fecal microbiota beta diversity, composition, and metagenomic potential. The authors suggest postbiotics are a safer and more effective alternative to probiotics for managing ulcerative colitis.
