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

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 ...

The Role of Immunobiotics and Postbiotics in the Recovery of Immune Cell Populations From Respiratory Mucosa of Malnourished Hosts: Effect on the Resistance Against Respiratory Infections

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2021
Malnutrition is associated with a state of secondary immunodeficiency, which is characterized by a worsening of the immune response against infectious agents. Despite important advances in vaccines and antibiotic therapies, the respiratory infections are

The Role of Alveolar Macrophages in the Improved Protection against Respiratory Syncytial Virus and Pneumococcal Superinfection Induced by the Peptidoglycan of Lactobacillus rhamnosus CRL1505

Cells, 2020
The nasal priming with nonviable Lactobacillus rhamnosus CRL1505 (NV1505) or its purified peptidoglycan (PG1505) differentially modulates the respiratory innate immune response in infant mice, improving their resistance to primary respiratory syncytial ...

The Respiratory Commensal Bacterium Corynebacterium pseudodiphtheriticum as a Mucosal Adjuvant for Nasal Vaccines

Vaccines, 2023
Previously, we demonstrated that nasally administered Corynebacterium pseudodiphtheriticum 090104 (Cp) or its bacterium-like particles (BLPs) increase the resistance of mice against bacterial and viral respiratory pathogens by modulating the innate ...

Herd-Level and Individual Differences in Fecal Lactobacilli Dynamics of Growing Pigs

Animals, 2021
We studied the fecal lactobacilli count and species diversity of growing pigs along with immune parameters associated with intestinal lactobacilli. Thirty pigs categorized as small (S, n = 12) or large (L, n = 18) at birth were followed from birth to ...
