Funmilola A. Ayeni studies beneficial and harmful bacteria in the human gut and in foods, with a focus on how they affect health. Much of the work examines probiotics (health-promoting bacteria) and lactic acid bacteria from fermented foods, breast milk, and animals, testing their ability to fight diarrhea-causing and antibiotic-resistant microbes. A recurring theme is the gut microbiome (the community of microbes living in the body) in Nigerian populations, including infants, elderly diabetics, and pregnant women.
