Klebsiella pneumoniae has been linked with dysbiosis in the intestinal microbiota. This has led to the idea of improving respiratory defense by regulating the intestinal microbiota with the supplementation of beneficial strains, such as yogurt probiotics. To develop probiotics in yogurt, the addition of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in it such as Lactobacillus plantarum and Bifidobacterium is needed. Yogurt is expected to improve human health, specifically in gastrointestinal and respiratory health. This study aims to study the effect of probiotic yogurt with a specific consortium based on Lactobacillus plantarum and Bifidobacterium to inhibit the growth of Klebsiella pneumoniae which causes pneumonia. The literature research method used Google Scholar and PubMed from 2000 to 2022 which obtained 60 journals. Based on observations, it was shown that Lactobacillus plantarum and Bifidobacterium were able to inhibit the growth of Klebsiella pneumoniae due to the decrease of pulmonary inflammation response after giving Lactobacillus plantarum, and the increase of IL-10 production by Bifidobacterium bacteria. Therefore, yogurt probiotics consortium could be used to prevent Klebsiella pneumoniae which causes pneumonia and lung damage.
