Summary: The safety and tolerability of the unique strain Bacillus subtilis MB40 was assessed through in silico, in vitro, and in vivo studies. The study confirmed the absence of undesirable genetic elements encoding toxins and antibiotic resistance, and found that MB40 was well tolerated in both rats and healthy human volunteers. Based on the research, it was concluded that Bacillus subtilis MB40 does not pose any human health concerns under the tested conditions.

Summary: The aim of this systematic review was to assess the efficacy of Lactobacillus reuteri (L. reuteri) as an adjunct to nonsurgical periodontal treatment for patients with periodontitis. The review included 9 articles involving a total of 287 patients. The results showed that L. reuteri as an adjunct to SRP resulted in better clinical outcomes compared to SRP alone. However, the heterogeneity among the studies should be carefully considered when interpreting the conclusion.

Summary: In Environmental Risk Analysis, assessment of the benefits and risks of biocontrol agents or other beneficial organisms considers criteria like establishment and dispersal potential, host specificity, and non-target effects. Host specificity is a key criterion in evaluating risks of non-native agents. Organisms with a generalist host range require specific risk assessments before introduction.

Summary: The study evaluated the use of two new formulations (toothpaste and chewing-gum) as support for periodontitis treatment. While probiotics showed benefits on certain clinical indexes and specific periodontopathogens, further research is needed to explore the relationship between probiotic colonization and improvement in clinical parameters.

Summary: The use of probiotic bacteria in foods and fermented products can have positive effects on human and animal health. However, there is increasing concern about their safety and potential adverse effects. Currently, in vitro assays are the primary method for evaluating probiotic properties, but they may not be sufficient for high-throughput strain risk assessment. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of individual LAB strains can provide valuable genetic information for assessing safety and understanding strain differences. WGS-based bioinformatics analyses are suggested as an ideal and cost-effective approach for in silico microbial risk evaluation and improving our understanding of LAB strains for food safety and probiotic property evaluation.

Summary: The study revealed inadequate public awareness about probiotics in Jordan and highlighted the limited role of community pharmacists in improving knowledge about probiotics. Efforts are needed to provide more information about the benefits of probiotics, with a focus on involving medical doctors and pharmacists in educating the public.

Summary: The review discussed the microbiological risk assessment of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in prawn farm wastewaters and the use of nanoparticles to eliminate antibiotic-resistant bacteria. It emphasized the potential health effects of antibiotics in the environment and the role of aquaculture environments in contributing to antibiotic resistance gene transmission.

Summary: The rise in retractions of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) and the lack of research on RCT integrity assessment have raised concerns about evidence-based patient care. Recent literature reviews have found inconsistencies in journals' authors' instructions regarding integrity and their policies for investigating misconduct allegations. The limited data on misconduct prevalence, test performance evaluation, and a lack of consensus on a gold standard hinder the use of integrity tests for RCT manuscripts. These deficiencies also impede the correction of RCT records, integrity evaluations in systematic reviews, and the application of preventive solutions in RCT peer-review and preprint assessment. Addressing the trustworthiness of RCT evidence requires investment in research, reform, and education on research integrity.

Summary: Viral diarrhea remains a problem with high mortality rates in farm animals. A combination of rehydration therapy and probiotics supplementation may improve survival rates, especially for piglets with porcine epidemic diarrhea. Further research is needed to explore the effectiveness of this combined approach.

Summary: Helicobacter pylori is a major cause of gastric cancer and its eradication can reduce the incidence of gastric cancer after endoscopic resection. However, the risk of metachronous gastric cancer remains high. The use of antibiotics and probiotic drugs was found to be associated with a decreased risk of metachronous gastric cancer, suggesting a potential link between the gut microbiome and the development of this type of cancer.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of oral administration of three commensal Lactobacillus spp. on the sperm quality of healthy dogs. The results showed that supplementation with commensal lactobacilli significantly improved the qualitative parameters and motility of sperm. Furthermore, the study revealed a positive correlation between the regulation of gut microbiota and sperm quality.
