multi-strain
Several strains combined
Multi-strain describes something containing or involving multiple strains—distinct varieties within a species.
Most often applied to probiotics, where a multi-strain supplement combines several bacterial strains: a multi-strain probiotic for gut health.
Also used for vaccines, fermentation cultures, or biological research involving variant organisms.
