Lactobacillus produce lactic acids in two active forms, D (-)  Lactic acid and L (+) Lactic acid.  The L (+) Lactic acid is completely metabolized by the body but D (-) Lactic acid used very slowly by the body and excess D (-) Lactic acid can introduce metabolic disturbances.  

In 1979 the New England Medical Journal reported that tests revealed that Lactobacillus Acidophilus is a producer of D (-) Latic acid and that Lactobacillus Sporogenes produces L (+) Lactic acid.  Further, The World Health Organization has recommended restricted intake of products containing high concentrations of D (-) Lactic acid to prevent acidosis.  In the Infant Nutritional Program, such products should be avoided because of the inability of babies to transform D (-) lactic acid. Lactobacillus Sporogenes produces L (+) Lactic acid is an ideal choice and in this situation and it fulfills the W.H.O. recommendation for Infant Nutrition Programs.
