Molecular insights into probiotic mechanisms of action employed against intestinal pathogenic bacteria

Gut microbes, 2020
Gastrointestinal (GI) diseases, and in particular those caused by bacterial infections, are a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Treatment is becoming increasingly difficult due to the increase in number of species that have developed ...

The functional capacity of plantaricin-producing Lactobacillus plantarum SF9C and S-layer-carrying Lactobacillus brevis SF9B to withstand gastrointestinal transit

Microbial Cell Factories, 2020
Background We evaluated the functional capacity of plantaricin-producing Lactobacillus plantarum SF9C and S-layer-carrying Lactobacillus brevis SF9B to withstand gastrointestinal transit and to compete among the gut microbiota in vivo.

Absolute Enumeration of Probiotic Strains Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM® and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis Bl-04® via Chip-Based Digital PCR

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The current standard for enumeration of probiotics to obtain colony forming units by plate counts has several drawbacks: long time to results, high variability and the inability to discern between bacterial strains.

A Lactic Acid Bacteria Consortium Impacted the Content of Casein-Derived Biopeptides in Dried Fresh Cheese

Molecules, 2021
This study aimed to define a consortium of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) that will bring added value to dried fresh cheese through specific probiotic properties and the synthesis of bioactive peptides (biopeptides).

Pathogen elimination by probiotic Bacillus via signaling interference

Nature, 2018
Probiotic nutrition is frequently claimed to improve human health. In particular, live probiotic bacteria obtained with food are thought to reduce intestinal colonization by pathogens, and thus to reduce susceptibility to infection.

Probiotics and immunity [PDF]

Journal of Gastroenterology, 2009
Probiotics are defined as live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host, including the gastrointestinal tract. While this beneficial effect was originally thought to stem from improvements in the intestinal microbial balance, there is now substantial evidence that probiotics can also provide ...

A synbiotic made of an autochthonous Enterococcus durans strain and microbial polysaccharides improves broiler chicken health

Journal of Agriculture and Food Research, 2023
Purpose: The gastrointestinal tract (GI) of organically fed desi chickens fosters a microbiota that can exclude pathogens and be potentially probiotic for improving the gut health of commercial chickens.

Tolerance and safety of the potentially probiotic strain Lactobacillus rhamnosus PRSF-L477 : a randomised, double-blind placebo-controlled trial in healthy volunteers [PDF]

, 2010
In Europe, the species Lactobacillus rhamnosus is currently on the Qualified Presumption of Safety list used by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) for internal safety assessment, but according to the EFSA the species should remain a topic of ...
