title: Recent advances in probiotic research: a conference update.
abstract: The sixth IPC was held in Košice; a nicely restored medieval city in eastern Slovakia. From being a Eastern-European-dominated probiotics conference in the year 2000, the IPC has grown over the years into a truly international conference, mainly on probiotics, but also increasingly prebiotics and the intestinal microbiota. The conference had contributions from participants from all continents. This article summarizes some of the highlights of the meeting.
