Nutritional and environmental determinants of maturation and disruption of the early life gut microbiome: A narrative review

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract The first 1000 days of life represent a critical window for gut microbiome assembly, with lifelong implications for child growth, immune development, and disease risk. This review synthesizes evidence on maternal, perinatal, and especially nutritional factors that influence early‐life intestinal colonization and highlights the consequences of ...

Effect of biotics on performance and the histopathological lesions of infectious bursal disease virus infection in broiler chickens

Bulgarian Journal of Veterinary Medicine
Acute and extremely contagious, infectious bursal disease (IBD) affects young chicks and suppresses their immune system and productivity. The IBD virus (IBDV) causes intestinal inflammation and many histopathological changes in the bursa of Fabricius and

Betulinic Acid Enema Alleviates Colitis by Targeting Vitamin D Receptor to Protect the Intestinal Mucosal Barrier and Modulate Mucosa‐Associated Microbiota

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the colon with limited effectiveness and safety of current drug therapies. Betulinic acid (BA) is a naturally occurring pentacyclic triterpenoid present in traditional Chinese medicines used clinically as retention enemas for UC, but its direct effects and mechanisms remain unclear ...

Isolation of carbapenem‐resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other Gram‐negative ESKAPE organisms from samples of raw‐meat diets for dogs in the UK

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Gram‐negative ESKAPE organisms are an emerging threat in veterinary medicine that also have zoonotic potential. However, little is known about the prevalence and risks of these organisms in pet food. We present the incidental finding of gram‐negative ESKAPE organisms within samples of raw meat diets for dogs in the United Kingdom ...

Induction of Probiotic Strain Enterococcus faecium EF1 on the Production of Cytokines, Superoxide Anion and Prostaglandin E2 in a Macrophage Cell Line [PDF]

Pakistan Veterinary Journal, 2012
Immunological effects of probiotic strain Enterococcus faecium EF1 was evaluated through the production of cytokines, superoxide anion (O2.-) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in murine macrophage cell line RAW 264.7. In addition, the responses were contrasted
