Viable microorganisms and a diverse microbial ecosystem found in human milk play crucial role promoting healthy immune system shaping the community infant's gut. Culturomics is method to obtain comprehensive repertoire of microbiota. However, culturomics an onerous procedure, needs expertise, making it difficult be widely implemented. Currently, there no efficient feasible specifically designed for microbiota yet. Therefore, aim this study was develop more We obtained fresh samples from Chinese mothers conducted 27-day enrichment process using blood culture bottles. Bacterial isolates were harvested at different time intervals cultured on four types media. Using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) analysis, we identified total 6601 colonies successfully 865 strains, representing 4 phyla, 21 genera, 54 species. By combining CBA MRS media, able cultivate over 94.4% bacterial species with high diversity, including species-specific microorganisms. Prolonged pre-incubation bottles significantly increased number by about 33% improved isolation efficiency beneficial bacteria low abundance milk. After optimization, reduced selected optimal picking time-points (0, 3, 6 days) 37°C. testing MALDI-TOF MS, estimated that new protocol could than 90% species, reducing workload 57.0%. In conclusion, our strategy, which involves combination extended enrichment, optimized time-points, studying This improves allows establishment strains

Abstract Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) are characterized by neuronal damage and progressive loss of neuron function. Microbiome-based interventions, such as dietary biotics, fecal microbiome transplant, have been proposed a novel approach to managing symptoms modulating disease progression. Emerging clinical trials investigated the efficacy interventions GM in alleviating or reversing progression, yet no comprehensive synthesis done. A systematic review literature was therefore conducted investigate microbiome-modulating methods. The search yielded 4051 articles, with 15 included. overall risk bias moderate most studies. Most changed composition. Despite inconsistent changes composition, meta-analysis showed that improved burden (SMD, − 0.57; 95% CI 0.93 0.21; I 2 = 42%; P 0.002) qualitative trend improvement constipation. However, current studies high methodological heterogeneity small sample sizes, requiring more well-designed controlled elucidate complex linkage between microbiome, NDDs.
