Disclosed herein are methods for improving gastrointestinal barrier function, alleviating a gastrointestinal barrier dysfunction-associated disorder, and inhibiting growth of enteric pathogenic bacteria using a composition containing Lactobacillus rhamnosus MP108, Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis BLI-02, and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis BB-115, which are deposited at the China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center (CGMCC) respectively under accession numbers CGMCC 21225, CGMCC 15212, and CGMCC 21840. A number ratio of Lactobacillus rhamnosus MP108, Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis BLI-02, and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis BB-115 ranges from 1:0.2:0.67 to 1:9:9.
