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.
