Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) as of recent has become a great concern to the impact on human health due its high hazardous risk and rate recurrence. Live bacterial therapeutics is promising method treat or prevent CDI. Here, synthetic microbial consortia (SMC) B10 was constructed using probiotic strains with antibacterial anti-quorum sensing activities, therapeutic effect SMC against C. evaluated in vitro. Compared model group, treatment significantly increased survival rate. The clinical signs mice were ameliorated, especially cecum injury, while secretion pro-inflammatory associated cytokines such IL-1α, IL-6, IL-17A TNF-α reduced, expression TLR4 inhibited, which alleviated inflammatory response, tight junction protein Claudin-1 increased, ultimately promoting recovery host health. restored gut microbiota dysbiosis led healthy intestinal structure, improved alpha diversity, suppressing potentially harmful bacteria restoring other core species. In conclusion, can effectively CDI through modulate attenuate response.

Gut microbiota are closely related to lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI). Akkermansia muciniphila (A. muciniphila) maintains the intestinal barrier function and regulates balance of reduced glutathione/oxidized glutathione. However, it may be useful as a treatment strategy for LPS-induced injury. Our study aimed explore whether A. could improve by affecting gut microbiota. The administration effectively attenuated tissue damage significantly decreased oxidative stress inflammatory reaction induced LPS, with lower levels myeloperoxidase (MDA), enhanced superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, pro-inflammatory cytokine levels, macrophage neutrophil infiltration. Moreover, maintained function, reshaped disordered microbial community, promoted secretion short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). downregulated expression TLR2, MyD88 NF-kappa B (P < 0.05). Butyrate supplementation demonstrated significant improvement in response 0.05) mitigation histopathological mice ALI, thereby restoring butyric acid concentration. In conclusion, our findings indicate that inhibits accumulation cytokines attenuates activation TLR2/Myd88/NF-κB pathway due exerting anti-inflammatory effects through butyrate. This provides an experimental foundation potential application butyrate prevention ALI.

Akkermansia muciniphila is a gram-negative bacterium that colonizes the human gut, making up 3–5% of microbiome. A. promising next-generation probiotic with clinical application prospects. Emerging studies have reported various beneficial effects including anti-cancer, delaying aging, reducing inflammation, improving immune function, regulating nervous system whereas knowledge on its roles and mechanism in infectious disease currently unclear. In this review, we summarized basic characteristics, genome phenotype diversity, influence derived components diseases, such as sepsis, virus infection, enteric periodontitis foodborne pathogen induced infections. We also provided updates mechanisms how protects intestinal barrier integrity modulate host response. summary, believe therapeutic may be applied for treatment variety diseases.

Abstract Background Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) and fecal virome (FVT, sterile filtrated donor feces) have been effective in treating recurrent Clostridioides difficile infections, possibly through bacteriophage-mediated modulation of the gut microbiome. However, challenges like variability, costly screening, coupled with concerns over pathogen transfer (incl. eukaryotic viruses) FMT or FVT hinder their wider clinical application less acute diseases. Methods To overcome these challenges, we developed methods to broaden FVT’s while maintaining efficacy increasing safety. Specifically, employed following approaches: (1) chemostat-fermentation reproduce bacteriophage component remove viruses (FVT-ChP), (2) solvent-detergent treatment inactivate enveloped (FVT-SDT), (3) pyronin-Y inhibit RNA virus replication (FVT-PyT). We assessed processed FVTs a C. infection mouse model compared them untreated (FVT-UnT), FMT, saline. Results FVT-SDT, FVT-UnT, FVT-ChP reduced incidence mice reaching humane endpoint (0/8, 2/7, 3/8, respectively) FVT-PyT, saline (5/8, 7/8, 5/7, significantly load colonizing cells associated toxin A/B levels. There was potential elimination colonization, seven out eight treated FVT-SDT testing negative qPCR. In contrast, all other treatments exhibited continued presence . Moreover, results were supported by changes microbiome profiles, cecal cytokine levels, histopathological findings. Assessment viral engraftment FMT/FVT host-phage correlations analysis suggested that phages likely an important contributing factor efficacy. Conclusions This proof-of-concept study shows specific modifications hold promise addressing related variability risks. Two strategies lead limiting colonization mice, solvent/detergent chemostat propagation emerging as promising approaches.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most cancer-related death worldwide. In recent years, probiotics have been used to reduce potential risks of CRC and tumors with various mechanisms. Different bacteria suggested play different roles in progression, prevention, or treatment CRC. Akkermansia muciniphila considered a next-generation probiotic for preventing treating some diseases. Therefore, this review article, we aimed describe discuss mechanisms A. as an intestinal microbiota Some studies that abundance was higher increased patients compared healthy individuals. However, decreased associated severe symptoms CRC, indicating did not role development addition, administration elevates gene expression proliferation-associated molecules such S100A9, Dbf4, Snrpd1, markers cell proliferation. other inflammation tumorigenesis intestine might promoted by muciniphila. Overall, inhibition still unclear controversial. Various methods bacterial supplementation, viability, number, abundance, could all influence colonization effect progression. mucinipila has revealed modulate therapeutic immune checkpoint inhibitors. Preliminary human data propose oral consumption safe, but its efficacy needs be confirmed more clinical studies.

Akkermansia muciniphila is a bacterium commonly found in the human gastrointestinal tract that has received considerable interest as potential probiotic for improvement of gut health and overall metabolic function. A. enriched mucus layer intestinal lining, where it degrades mucin plays significant role barrier maintenance immune regulation. A higher abundance been observed healthy individuals relative to those with disorders, multiple benefits, including improved glucose management, reduced body fat, inflammation have linked muciniphila. Current research on primarily relies mouse models, limited interventional studies available. While these animal offer valuable insights into roles disease, further clinical investigations humans are needed fully understand its impact. Here, we explore current scope therapeutic agent improve while also emphasizing need optimize techniques this organism.
