The inclusion of Enterococcus faecium in 12 products was interesting, considering the increasing concern being expressed about the use of enterococci as probiotics because of their pathogenic potential and relatively high level of antimicrobial resistance (7,8,9).
Evaluation of deficiencies in labeling of commercial probiotics
The whole article is a good read.
I'm a bit concerned because it seems most of the pet products contain this and Metronidazole is an anti-microbial. It can also be pathogenic? Maybe this only applies to humans? They did look at human and animals products though.
I am also being cautious because quite a few products are mislabeled and don't have enough of anything in them to be any good. I trust Nutramax on this issue but not with the inclusion of this ingredient.
What do you think?
