No, apparently the DDS-1 strain of Lactobacillus Acidophilus was discovered by Dr. Shahani at the University of Nebraska, and is considered to be a superior strain for supplements because of it's ability to survive the acids in the stomach.
Not all probiotics that say they contain Lactobacillus Acidophilus use the DDS-1 strain. If they have the DDS-1 strain in their probiotic compound, they would most likely advertise it on the labeling. If it is not specified as DDS-1, then most likely it is a different strain.

Does lactobacillus acidophilus come in pairs?
I'm not sure what you mean exactly by pairs? Lactobacillus acidophilus is a species of probiotic that thrives in the small intestine. L. acidophilus is one of the most well known probiotic strains of all and can be found in many yoghurts, drinks and supplements. It can be hard to find a good quality source of L. acidophilus these days as there are so many 'pretenders' out there. Look for a good quality supplement with well researched strains - you will know this if the brand tells you the species e.g Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM.
How does lactobacillus acidophilus reproduce?
Like all other bacteria, it splits in two, creating two bacteria where before there was one bacterium.
Does a lactobacillus have eukaryotic animal cells?
No. They are bacteria and all bacteria are prokaryotes not eukaryotes.
What are some examples of normal flora bacteria?
I know 2 bacteria, useful and harmful: E.coli, harmful Salmonella, harmful B. Animalis(Bifidobacterium Animalis), helpful Phytoplankton(not a bacteria, though), helpful
What is isogenic mutation?
An isogenic mutation is known as a mutation of an inbred strain, in which all microbes contain the same or highly similar genotypes.

Is acidophilus prokaryotic?
Yes. It is a collective term given to probiotics that are administered to increase healthy gut microflora. They contain several types of bacteria (which are all prokaryotic) namely:Lactobacillus acidophilus (A)Lactobacillus casei (C)Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus (L)Bifidobacterium species (B)Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus
Why can people eat fermented food and not get sick?
Because the bacteria that caused the fermentation isn't one that attacks humans, or creates dangerous waste byproducts. Lactobacillus acidophilus is a classic example. It's presence in milk/cream is what makes yogurt. What's more Lactobacillus actually creates enzymes which aid in human digestion. Not all bacteria are harmful to humans, and in fact we are host to a wide variety of internal and external bacteria that not only don't hurt us, but help us. It's not at all uncommon for one strain of benevolent bacteria to attack and destroy other strains that may be dangerous to you.
Can you take omeprazole and acidophilus?
No. Acidophilus does not kill bacteria, like an antibiotic does. Acidophilus replenishes your body's supply of what are known as "healthy" bacteria, which is a type of bacteria that you need to digest food, and other reasons. Antibiotics often kill both unhealthy and healthy bacteria, meaning they get rid of infections but also kill the healthy bacteria in your body. Acidophilus can be used to get that healthy bacteria back to normal levels.
Does a lactobacillus have animal cells?
No. They are bacteria and all bacteria are prokaryotes not eukaryotes.

What are characteristics of probiotics?
Lactobacillus describes a certain type and group of bacteria. All Lactobacillus are rod shaped, as well as gram positive and non spore forming.
What to do if you have a very bad yeast infection?
A very bad yeast infection needs two treatments, a medicated suppository to cure the overgrowth of candidas in the vagina and lactobacillus -- acidophilus to get the right balance in your gut so it doesn't recur. You may also want to use a topical ointment available in Monistat to control the itch. You can get this by eating yogurt with live cultures or by taking live lactobacillus -- acidophilus 2 tablets twice a day, one hour before meals. This is available OTC your pharmacist will have it in his refrigerator. Wash all clothing, sheets and towels in hot water with a second rinse to remove all the soap residue. Wear 100% cotton panties and preferably 100% cotton pants. Polyester or nylon does not breathe and will trap in moisture. Keep your labia and folds as free from the discharge as possible by rinsing every time you use the toilet, pat dry. Once the infection has cleared, taking two enteric-coated garlic capsules daily with 4,000 milligrams of allicin-alliin (which is the anti-fungal/ anti-yeast agent found in garlic.) to prevent reinfection, only use the lactobacillus -- acidophilus to cure a current infection or prevent reinfection, take it any time you are given an antibiotic. Chronic re-infection needs to be discussed with your doctor to determine if you have an underlying cause, like diabetes.
How yogurt is made?
it is made of milk First of all milk is pasteurized to get rid of any harmful bacteria. Then the bacteria Lactobacillus is added. The lactobacillus is cultured at 46 degrees Celsius. This releases lactic acid into the milk which turns it into yogurt.
What are the alternative treatments of RMSF?
Antibiotics are used to treat RMSF. The first choice is a form of tetracycline; the second choice (used in young children and pregnant women) is chloramphenicol. If the patient is well enough, treatment by oral intake of medicine is perfectly effective
Is lactobacillus a prokaryote?
The lactobacillus refers to any of various rod-shaped, sessile aerobic bacteria from the genus Lactobacillus that ferment lactic acid from sugars and are the causative agents in the souring of milk.
