      The short answer seems to be “quite a while.” This strain was used as an indicator for RA but the research wasn’t clear if it played a role in causing it or what other relationship it had.

      I love seeing research about the human microbiome, but it seems like there is quite a ways to go. Each person can have their own mix of bacteria, which changes throughout their life, and how each other strain may help or hinder a person is even further off. I don’t think there will be one probiotic that will fit for everyone’s scenario.

      It’s like saying “What plant can I plant anywhere in the world?” Well, that’s pretty tough because there are so many temperate zones and seasons.
