Effects of Defined Pig Microbiota on Acute Salmonellosis in Gnotobiotic Piglets

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 1, 15 January 2026.
Germ‐free piglets lack protective microbiota and are highly vulnerable to Salmonella Typhimurium LT2 infection. Pre‐colonization with defined pig microbiota supports early immune response and intestinal barrier maturation. By measuring pathogen spread, intestinal structure, goblet cell density, cytokines, and tight‐junction markers with molecular and ...

Unraveling the pathogenic potential of the Pentatrichomonas hominis PHGD strain: impact on IPEC-J2 cell growth, adhesion, and gene expression

Parasite
Pentatrichomonas hominis, a flagellated parasitic protozoan, predominantly infects the mammalian digestive tract, often causing symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea. However, studies investigating its pathogenicity are limited, and the mechanisms

Chronic dietary intake of enniatin B in broiler chickens has low impact on intestinal morphometry and hepatic histology, and shows limited transfer to liver tissue [PDF]

, 2018
The Fusarium mycotoxin enniatin B (ENN B) is a so-called emerging mycotoxin frequently contaminating poultry feed. To investigate the impact of chronic ENN B exposure on animal health, broiler chickens were fed either a diet naturally contaminated with ...

Exploiting Lactic Acid Bacteria for Regulating Autophagy to Improve Health in Foods and Supplements: A Recent Update

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are frequently used as health supplements. They enhance digestion, regulate immunity, improve gut microbiota, and prevent and manage diseases. Autophagy has a crucial role in the prevention and treatment of tumors, cardiovascular diseases, and pathogenic infections.

Antiviral Activity of Porcine IFN-λ3 and IFN-α against Porcine Rotavirus In Vitro

Molecules, 2022
Interferons (IFNs) play a major role in the host’s antiviral innate immunity. In response to viral infection, IFNs bind their receptors and initiate a signaling cascade, leading to the accurate transcriptional regulation of hundreds of IFN-stimulated ...
