**3. Probiotic interventions to ameliorate T2DM**

Currently, probiotics from the former genera of *Lactobacillus* and *Bifidobacterium* are the major focus of most therapeutic investigations. However, specific bacterial strains are linked to the amelioration of disorders linked with inflammation. It is anticipated that some of the newly identified strains will become probiotics in the future [78]. **Figure 3** shows the overview of potential mechanisms of probiotics against type 2 diabetes.
