Engineered probiotic Escherichia coli can eliminate and prevent Pseudomonas aeruginosa gut infection in animal models

Nature Communications, 2017
Bacteria can be genetically engineered to kill specific pathogens or inhibit their virulence. We previously developed a synthetic genetic system that allows a laboratory strain of Escherichia coli to sense and kill Pseudomonas aeruginosa in vitro.

Structured Lipids: Synthesis, Genetic Engineering, and Applications

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lipids are essential to the human body, but some can be harmful. As a result, current research focuses on structured lipids (SLs), which are engineered to have specific fatty acid arrangements. These structural modifications can enhance both nutritional and physical properties.

Antimicrobial Activity – The Most Important Property of Probiotic and Starter Lactic Acid Bacteria

Food Technology and Biotechnology, 2010
The antimicrobial activity of industrially important lactic acid bacteria as starter cultures and probiotic bacteria is the main subject of this review. This activity has been attributed to the production of metabolites such as organic acids (lactic and ...

Genomic Insights Into a Strong Biofilm‐Forming Enterococcus faecalis MTR_EFS01 Strain Isolated From a Shrimp in Bangladesh

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
This study characterizes a multidrug‐resistant and strong biofilm‐forming Enterococcus faecalis strain obtained from a shrimp sample in Bangladesh. ABSTRACT Enterococcus faecalis is known for its ability to form strong biofilms and its role as an opportunistic pathogen. In this study, we screened and characterized a multidrug‐resistant (MDR) and strong

Enhanced mitochondrial activity reshapes a gut microbiota profile that delays NASH progression

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Improved mitochondrial activity, due to the lack of methylation‐controlled J protein (MCJ), creates a specific microbiota signature that when transferred through cecal microbiota transplantation delays NASH progression by restoring the gut‐liver axis and enhancing hepatic fatty acid oxidation.

Probiotics History

Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 2016
Gut microbiota promotes healthy effects on the host and prevents diseases. Probiotic (probios, for life) are defined as “live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host.” At the beginning of 1900s Louis Pasteur identified the microorganisms responsible for the process of fermentation, whereas E ...

A shared mucosal gut microbiota signature in primary sclerosing cholangitis before and after liver transplantation

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
In this study of the gut mucosal microbiota in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), we found consistent microbiota features associated with PSC and recurrent PSC, PSC with inflammatory bowel disease and a persistent gut dysbiosis after liver transplantation Abstract Background and Aims Several characteristic features of the fecal microbiota have been ...
