Modulation of respiratory TLR3-antiviral response by probiotic microorganisms: lessons learned from Lactobacillus rhamnosus CRL1505

Frontiers in Immunology, 2014
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading cause of lower respiratory tract illness in infants and young children. Host immune response is implicated in both protective and immunopathological mechanisms during RSV infection. Activation of Toll-like

The novel immunobiotic Clostridium butyricum S-45-5 displays broad-spectrum antiviral activity in vitro and in vivo by inducing immune modulation

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
Clostridium butyricum is known as a probiotic butyric acid bacterium that can improve the intestinal environment. In this study, we isolated a new strain of C.

Emerging Nonthermal Technologies for the Production of Postbiotics

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 24, Issue 6, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Postbiotics, defined as nonliving microbial cells and their components that confer health benefits to the host, represent a significant advancement in functional foods and dietary supplements. Compared to probiotics and prebiotics, postbiotics offer advantages in product stability, safety, and formulation flexibility. In general practice, heat

Biotechnological Interventions for the Production of Subunit Vaccines Against Group A Rotavirus

Cell Biochemistry and Function, Volume 42, Issue 8, December 2024.
ABSTRACT Group A rotavirus (RVA) is a major cause of severe gastroenteritis in infants and young children globally, despite the availability of live‐attenuated vaccines. Challenges such as limited efficacy in low‐income regions, safety concerns for immunocompromised individuals, and cold‐chain dependency necessitate alternative vaccine strategies ...

Immunobiotic Bacteria Attenuate Hepatic Fibrosis through the Modulation of Gut Microbiota and the Activation of Aryl‐Hydrocarbon Receptors Pathway in Non‐Alcoholic Steatohepatitis Mice

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, Volume 68, Issue 14, July 2024.
The MCD diet significantly exacerbates hepatic fibrosis by activating hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and increasing markers of inflammation and fibrosis, including NASH, inflammatory cytokines, and liver triglycerides (TG). This diet also leads to gut dysbiosis, increased intestinal permeability, bacterial translocation, and elevated endotoxin levels ...

Respiratory Epithelial Cells Respond to Lactobacillus plantarum but Provide No Cross-Protection against Virus-Induced Inflammation

Viruses, 2020
Virus-induced inflammation plays a critical role in determining the clinical outcome of an acute respiratory virus infection. We have shown previously that the administration of immunobiotic Lactobacillus plantarum (Lp) directly to the respiratory tract ...

Stimulation of macrophages by immunobiotic Lactobacillus strains: influence beyond the intestinal tract

Microbiology and Immunology, 2012
ABSTRACTLactobacillus rhamnosus CRL1505 (Lr1505), L. rhamnosus CRL1506 (Lr1506) and L. casei CRL431 (Lc431) are able to stimulate intestinal immunity, but only Lr1505 and Lc431 are able to stimulate immunity in the respiratory tract. With the aim of advancing the understanding of the immunological mechanisms involved in stimulation of distant mucosal ...
