This was a pretty good answer:
“You make conclusions and interpretations on the relations between a commensal bacteria and its host, its potential impact… then you ask yourself whether this concept is transferable to mammals. That is what we do with Lactobacillus plantarum. We observed an effect on juvenile growth with the Drosophila [fly]. That is a formal proof of impact of a bacteria on a physiological aspect of its host. Now we test whether those strains have an effect on mice models.”
That bacteria he mentioned is one found in both mice and humans.
