Microbiota in fermented feed and swine gut.
Abstract Development of alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters (AGP) used in swine production requires a better understanding of their impacts on the gut microbiota. Supplementing fermented feed (FF) in swine diets as a novel nutritional strategy to reduce the use of AGP and feed price, can positively affect the porcine gut microbiota, thereby improving pig productivities. Previous studies have noted the potential effects of FF on the shift in benefit of the swine microbiota in different regions of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). The positive influences of FF on swine gut microbiota may be due to the benefi...

Keep The Flu Away In A Time Of “ Twindemics ”
Flu season is here, and the CDC has shifted into overdrive…pushing you to get your flu vaccine as soon as possible. Once again, they’re insisting it’s more important than ever because of Covid. Flu shots have an unquestioned reputation. The message from the medical establishment is that you need to ignore any vaccines’ potential adverse effects. But that doesn’t mean they don’t exist… In a moment, I’ll show you ways to bolster your native immunity so you can enjoy optimal health year-round. But first, for my new readers, let me tell you why I’ll never get a flu shot. Unlike some of my colleagues i...

In vitro evaluation of swine-derived Lactobacillus reuteri: probiotic properties and effects on intestinal porcine epithelial cells challenged with enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli K88.
Abstract Probiotics are considered the best effective alternatives to antibiotics. The aim of this study was to characterize the probiotic potential of lactobacilli for use in swine farming by using in vitro evaluation methods. A total of 106 lactic acid bacterial isolates, originating from porcine feces, were first screened for the capacity to survive stresses considered important for putative probiotic strains. Sixteen isolates showed notable acid and bile resistance, antibacterial activity and adherence to intestinal porcine epithelial cells (IPEC-1). One isolate, LR1, identified as Lactobacillus reuteri, was s...

Probiotic roles of Lactobacillus sp. in swine: insights from gut microbiota
Summary The use of lactobacilli as probiotics in swine has been gaining attention due to their ability to improve growth performance and carcass quality, prevent gastrointestinal infection and most importantly, their ‘generally recognized as safe’ status. Previous studies support the potential of lactobacilli to regulate host immune systems, enhance gut metabolic capacities and maintain balance in the gut microbiota. Research on swine gut microbiota has revealed complex gut microbial community structure and showed the importance of Lactobacillus to the host's health. However, the species‐ and strain‐specific charac...

GSE132995 miRNAs expression in swine monocytes stimulated with Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis Bb12
Contributors : Marina Arenas-Padilla ; Veronica Mata-HaroSeries Type : Non-coding RNA profiling by arrayOrganism : Sus scrofaBifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis Bb12 (Bb12) is a probiotic bacteria with several reported benefits, including immunomodulatory capacity. This is due to the bacteria recognition by receptors such as TLR2, which in turn affects the miRNA transcriptome of immune system cells. We aimed to analyze miRNA expression in swine monocytes stimulated with Bb12, and their expression when TLR2 receptor is blocked. A microarray containing 407 porcine unique miRNA probes was employed to identify differences in ...

The Bacteria In Your Nose Could Protect You From The Flu
BOSTON (CBS) — Could the bacteria that live in your nose and throat help protect you from the flu? Researchers at the University of Michigan say it’s possible. Researchers collected samples of nose and throat bacteria from people who were living with someone sick with influenza. They found that people with a certain community of bacteria – in other words, a certain microbiome – were more susceptible to catching it. This suggests that the bacteria that live in people’s nasal passages or throat might affect their chances of infections and could perhaps affect how they respond to vaccines. (WBZ-TV) T...

Probiotics Reduce Health Care Cost and Societal Impact of Flu-Like Respiratory Tract Infections in the USA: An Economic Modeling Study
Acute respiratory tract infections (RTIs) of viral origin place a substantial burden on health care resources and society. Randomized controlled trials have shown positive effects of probiotics on clinical outcomes in these commonly occurring RTIs. Two meta-analyses published by the York Health Economics Consortium (YHEC) and Cochrane reported efficacy of probiotics in reducing incidence and duration of RTIs, number of antibiotic courses and days absent from work. The aim of this study was to assess the potential health-economic impact of probiotics on RTI-associated events and expenses in the USA primary care setting. A...

Fecal Microbiota and Its Correlation With Fatty Acids and Free Amino Acids Metabolism in Piglets After a Lactobacillus Strain Oral Administration
In conclusion, L. reuteri ZLR003 influenced the fecal microbiota composition of piglets, and its effects were related to the metabolism of SCFAs, LCFAs, and FAAs. Our findings will help facilitate the application of Lactobacillus strains in pig production. Introduction Lactobacillus, an essential member of the normal microbiota, can improve the intestinal microbial balance with beneficial effects when administered in adequate amounts (Bogovic et al., 2016; Simpson et al., 2018). Lactobacillus has been widely employed as a supplement in foods as well as in farming and medicine (Hill et al., 2014). In fact, the Lacto...

Influences of quorum ‐quenching probiotic bacteria on the gut microbial community and immune function in weaning pigs
Abstract The aim of this study is to investigate the dynamic gut microbial diversity in weaning swine after administering feed supplemented with probiotic bacteria that specifically inhibit the activity of quorum molecules. Initially, the universal quorum molecule autoinducer‐2 (AI‐2) bioassay results indicated that AI‐2 activity was profoundly inhibited in enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7 in the presence of Lactobacillus acidophilus strain 30SC cell extract, although the growth of EHEC was not affected. Based on plate counting results, bacterial community analysis revealed a specific reduction in co...

Characterization of the Early Life Microbiota Development and Predominant Lactobacillus Species at Distinct Gut Segments of Low- and Normal-Birth-Weight Piglets
Conclusion In summary, the results of this study provide novel evidence for an alteration of the microbiome in ileum and colon of the LBW piglets. Compared with their normal littermates, LBW piglets had significantly different bacterial communities, microbial metabolism, and microbial gene functions in the ileum and colon from 7 to 35 days of age, especially in the colon. Relative abundances of some SCFAs-producing microbes, which belong to the families Bacteroidaceae, Ruminococcaceae, Prevotellaceae, and Lachnospiraceae, were dramatically decreased in LBW piglets. Reduction of these bacteria led to decreased production o...
