Prevention of urinary tract infection in rats with an indigenous Lactobacillus casei strain [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1985
Our previous studies have shown that indigenous bacteria are able to block the in vitro attachment of uropathogenic bacteria to human uroepithelial cells. In the present study, we applied the concept of competitive exclusion to an animal model. A chronic urinary tract infection was established in female rats with bacteria incorporated into agar beads ...

Composition of statins produced by indigenous strain of Aspergillus terreus

International Journal of Engineering, Science and Technology, 2014
Composition of statins produced by Aspergillus terreus 20 indigenous strain in submerged fermentation (SmF) has been studied. Identification of statin compounds in fungal extracts by LC-MS-MS analysis revealed 6 polyketide metabolites: lovastatin (LV) in lactone, acid and methyl ester forms, pravastatin (PV), monacolin L (ML) and simvastatin (SV).

The potency of native postbiotics and paraprobiotics in modulating inflammation by affecting the gut–kidney axis

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Native postbiotics and paraprobiotics derived from Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains were administered to dextran sulfate sodium–treated C57BL/6 mice to evaluate their impact on kidney inflammation via the gut–kidney axis. Histological analysis and quantitative polymerase chain reaction of autophagy‐related genes (atg5, atg7, atg12, atg13 ...
