Abstract Background As a beneficial next-generation microorganism, A. muciniphila is beginning to enter the market as commercial product and positioning itself potential candidate for clinical therapy. This study aims evaluate safety probiotic of Akkermansia Akk11 strain isolated from infant feces. Results was identified an anaerobic, Gram-negative with mucin-degrading capabilities, showing up 98.36% genomic similarity type (ATCC BAA-835T) based on average nucleotide identity (ANI) analysis. Genotypic analysis revealed three putative genes, blaLUS-1 gene encoding class A beta-lactamase, adeF fusion protein belonging resistance-nodule-cell division (RND) antibiotic efflux pump system elongation factor Tu (Ef-Tu) gene, respectively. These genes were found be intrinsic, indicating favorable profile Akk11. Phenotypic tests showed that highly resistant gentamicin, kanamycin streptomycin, while producing no biogenic amines, D-/L-lactic acid or negative hemolytic activity. The good tolerance under gastrointestinal stress conditions, exhibited cytotoxicity strong adhesion intestinal cells in vitro. Furthermore, oral toxicity genotoxicity observed vivo. Conclusion exhibits robust potential, properties comparable those strain. Our research highlights novel strain, Akk11, which provides promising new applications warrants further development.

Aim A comprehensive safety assessment of potential probiotic strains was essential for their application in the food industry. This article systematically evaluated characteristics, whole-genome sequence analysis and Lacticaseibacillus paracasei LC86 casei LC89. Methods Firstly, two lactic acid bacteria selected were identified. Secondly, sequencing performed on LC89, antibiotic resistance, pathogenicity, virulence genes analyzed. We tested various properties strains, included tolerance, cell adhesion, hemolytic activity, catalase gelatin hydrolysis, arginine hydrolysis ability, bile salt capacity, mucin degradation, bioamine, D-/L-lactic production susceptibility, to confirm LC89 both vitro vivo . Additionally, we studied acute toxicity mice through a 14-day oral gavage experiment. Results The identified as genomes devoid virulence, resistance pathogenicity genes. exhibited good tolerance temperature, artificial gastric fluid intestinal fluid; they non-hemolytic, all negative. They capability break down proteins demonstrated sensitivity range antibiotics. LD 50 >2 × 10 CFU/kg. Conclusion experimental results above characteristics indicating candidates probiotics human animal applications.

Probiotics have been shown to enhance cognitive function in individuals with mild impairment (MCI), but their efficacy varies, depending on the strain and dosage. Clinical investigations are crucial confirm safety, efficacy, mechanism of action. This study was designed assess effective dosage, MH-Pro, a test product containing Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus CBT-LR5 (LR5) skim milk (non-fat dry milk), improving related physiological changes older adults suspected MCI over 12 weeks. In total, 20 participants (mean age: 68.9 years) were randomly assigned 1:1 ratio either low-dose group (1 × 1010 CFU LR5 1622 mg) or high-dose 4055 mg milk) double-blind, parallel-group clinical trial. After weeks, showed significant improvements MOCA-K subdomains, specifically naming (p = 0.01) delayed recall 0.003). Additionally, levels amyloid-β1 40/42 blood significantly decreased 0.03) following supplementation group. The exhibited improvement orientation 0.05). Moreover, overall enhancement observed 0.003), while trend toward 0.06). Fecal analysis revealed bacterial composition, an increase after weeks MH-Pro consumption. Together, these findings provide foundational evidence suggesting that may serve as potential intervention for enhancing through gut-brain axis pathways elderly population. However, given small sample size predominance female participants, impact outcome be limited.

Aim This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus LRa05 supplementation in enhancing Helicobacter pylori ( H. ) eradication rate and alleviating gastrointestinal side effects associated with bismuth quadruple therapy. Methods -positive patients were randomized receive levofloxacin-based therapy combined either probiotic or a placebo for two weeks, followed by (1 × 10 CFU) maltodextrin next weeks. infection was detected 13 C breath test pre- post-treatment. Blood stool samples collected at week 0 4 routine biochemical analysis, serum inflammatory markers. Gastrointestinal symptoms evaluated using symptom rating scale (GSRS). Intestinal microbiota analyzed 16S rRNA sequencing. The research listed under Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2300072220), written informed consent obtained from all participants. Results group exhibited trend toward higher rates (86.11%) compared (82.86%), though difference not statistically significant. Significant reductions neutrophil count, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate pepsinogen I, interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) p < 0.05) suggest that may mitigate inflammation, enhance liver function, potential aid early cancer prevention. GSRS scores showed alleviated abdominal pain, acid reflux, bloating, diarrhea, patient compliance. Furthermore, sequencing countered antibiotic-induced disruption gut diversity, primarily increasing beneficial bacteria. Conclusion Although did significantly improve success therapy, it has function reduced levels markers such as IL-6 TNF-α body, regulating response. In addition, played positive role adverse disturbances caused providing possible way overall health demonstrating promising clinical potential.
