a lactic acid-forming Firmicute bacteria that can cause milk to coagulate and may play a role in food spoilage of highly acidic, tomato-based products. It is often used as probiotic in veterinary applications, especially in pigs, cattle, poultry, and shrimp. There is evidence that B. coagulans may help humans to improve vaginal flora, reduce abdominal pain and bloating and increase immune response to viral challenges. It might be even beneficial in preventing cancer. Spore-forming strains of B. coagulans strains are used in some countries as probiotics for patients on antibiotics.
