were positive, and of 15 nymphs, 26% were positive for Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. The predominant genospecies in the examined areas were B. afzelii resp. B. burgdorferi sensu stricto (83%) followed by B. garinii (12%). 5% of the Borrelia species could not be identified. Conclusions: Up to the present state the results suggest that there seems to be no enhanced prevalence of Borrelia infection in ticks in the three forestry areas. In comparison to other investigations performed in South Germany (Rauter et al., J Clin Microbiol. 2002, 40(1):36-43) a higher prevalence of (i) Borrelia infections of nymphs in comparison to adults and (ii) unidentified Borrelia genospecies can be realised.

Probiotic agents have been shown to have significant clinical beneficial effects in the prevention and management of gastrointestinal and nongastrointestinal conditions, however their mechanisms of action remain largely unknown. The paper will review how probiotics and their products might signal to epithelial cells and immune cells and describe the research approaches for studying probiotic interactions with the digestive tract.

While beneficial effects of probiotics as feed additives for livestock and breeding animals have been described, prevention of and recovery from intestinal and other infections has generated the greatest interest. However, the largely empirical observations of improved health through use of probiotics tells us little of the mechanisms involved. The complex nature of the
