The Modulation of Mucosal Antiviral Immunity by Immunobiotics: Could They Offer Any Benefit in the SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic? [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
Viral respiratory infections are of major importance because of their capacity to cause of a high degree of morbidity and mortality in high-risk populations, and to rapidly spread between countries.

Immunobiotics for the Bovine Host: Their Interaction with Intestinal Epithelial Cells and Their Effect on Antiviral Immunity [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
The scientific community has reported several cases of microbes that exhibit elevated rates of antibiotic resistance in different regions of the planet. Due to this emergence of antimicrobial resistant microorganisms, the use of antibiotics as promoters ...

Immunobiotic Ligilactobacillus salivarius FFIG58 Confers Long-Term Protection against Streptococcus pneumoniae. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci, 2023
Previously, we isolated potentially probiotic Ligilactobacillus salivarius strains from the intestines of wakame-fed pigs. The strains were characterized based on their ability to modulate the innate immune responses triggered by the activation of Toll-like receptor (TLR)-3 or TLR4 signaling pathways in intestinal mucosa.

Characterization of Weissella viridescens UCO-SMC3 as a Potential Probiotic for the Skin: Its Beneficial Role in the Pathogenesis of Acne Vulgaris

Microorganisms, 2021
Previously, we isolated lactic acid bacteria from the slime of the garden snail Helix aspersa Müller and selected Weissella viridescens UCO-SMC3 because of its ability to inhibit in vitro the growth of the skin-associated pathogen Cutibacterium acnes ...

Lactiplantibacillus plantarum LOC1 Isolated from Fresh Tea Leaves Modulates Macrophage Response to TLR4 Activation

Foods, 2022
Previously, we demonstrated that Lactiplantibacillus plantarum LOC1, originally isolated from fresh tea leaves, was able to improve epithelial barrier integrity in in vitro models, suggesting that this strain is an interesting probiotic candidate.

Improvement of Myelopoiesis in Cyclophosphamide-Immunosuppressed Mice by Oral Administration of Viable or Non-Viable Lactobacillus Strains

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Myelosuppression is the major dose-limiting toxicity of cancer chemotherapy. There have been many attempts to find new strategies that reduce myelosuppression. The dietary supplementation with lactic acid bacteria (LAB) improved respiratory innate immune

A Novel Immunobiotics Bacteroides dorei Ameliorates Influenza Virus Infection in Mice [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
ObjectiveProbiotics can modulate immune responses to resist influenza infection. This study aims to evaluate the anti-viral efficacy of B. dorei.MethodsC57BL/6J mice were infected with influenza virus together with treatment of PBS vehicle, B. dorei, or oseltamivir respectively. Anti-influenza potency of B.

Activation of cGAS‐STING by Lethal Malaria N67C Dictates Immunity and Mortality through Induction of CD11b+Ly6Chi Proinflammatory Monocytes

Advanced Science, Volume 9, Issue 22, August 5, 2022., 2022
Cyclic GMP‐AMP synthase (cGAS) and stimulator of interferon genes (STING) play critical roles in innate immunity against infectious diseases, while the mechanisms that cGAS‐STING‐induced cytokines suppress immune response against malaria infection remain poorly understood.
