Illustration of a Cartesian coordinate plane. The second value in each ordered pair is the ordinate of the corresponding point. In mathematics, ordinate mostly refers to that element of an ordered pair which is plotted on the vertical axis of a two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system, as opposed to the abscissa.
1 Saccharomyces boulardii is able to prevent intestinal infections caused by the adherence in vitro or the invasion in vivo (in mice) of C. dificile, E. coli and Candida albicans to the GI (gastrointestinal) tract.
But since you will see S. boulardii on product labels, thatâs what I use here. S. boulardii is similar to S. cerevisiae in that both lack the ability to penetrate into tissues like Candida species can, so they are not invasive (so not scary like the fungi listed on the Saccharomyces page).
