Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of probiotic consumption on the gut microbiome and metabolome of children. The results showed no significant changes in the global metagenomic or metabolomic profiles between the two intervention groups. However, there was a measurable impact on the relative abundance of the probiotics of interest in the gut microbiome. Future research should explore longer probiotic interventions and focus on children at risk for gastrointestinal disorders to further understand the potential protective effects of functional metabolite changes.

Summary: Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder with increasing prevalence in children and adults. The potential role of probiotics in preventing atopic dermatitis has generated considerable interest, as they can modulate systemic inflammation and immune responses. However, the molecular mechanisms and efficacy of probiotics in anti-allergic effects are still unclear and controversial.

Summary: This study optimized the production of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) by pure and mixed cultures of Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-5 and Bifidobacterium lactis BB-12, and characterized the properties of the produced AMPs. The AMPs showed antimicrobial effects against important food-borne pathogens and had high-temperature stability under optimal conditions.

Summary: The study showed that microencapsulation of Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium animalis inside hydrogels can prolong their survival in various conditions, with high encapsulation efficiency. The survival rate of encapsulated bacteria was significantly higher than free cells, indicating the suitability of the microencapsulation process for protection.

Summary: Helicobacter pylori infection is the most common cause of gastritis and gastric ulcers. A study investigated the anti-H. pylori effects of Lactobacillus plantarum strain pH3A, monolaurin, grapefruit seed extract (GSE), and their synergies in vitro and in vivo. The L. plantarum pH3A strain showed potential as an alternative anti-H. pylori therapy, but further evidence is needed for its synergy with monolaurin or GSE in vivo.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of dietary supplementation with Bacillus velezensis R-71003 and sodium gluconate on antioxidant capacity, immune response, and resistance against Aeromonas hydrophila in common carp. The results showed that the antibacterial crude extract of B. velezensis R-71003 can destroy the cell wall of A. hydrophila. Additionally, dietary B. velezensis R-71003 and sodium gluconate improved the antioxidant capacity and immunity of common carp.

Summary: A retrospective matched-cohort study found that administration of Saccharomyces boulardii was associated with a 48% risk reduction for healthcare facility-onset Clostridioides difficile infection (HO-CDI) in patients receiving antibiotics. Patients receiving S. boulardii and antibiotics for pneumonia had a 57% reduced risk of HO-CDI. Administering S. boulardii with ceftriaxone was associated with a 76% reduced risk of HO-CDI compared to ceftriaxone alone.

Summary: The study demonstrated that probiotics have an impact on the biochemical and hematological parameters of rabbits, and the three strains of probiotics had a positive effect on the weight gain of the rabbits. Supplementing the rabbits' feed with the three probiotic strains showed positive effects on most of the biochemical and hematological parameters investigated during a 60-day period, with a significant improvement in the rabbits' body weight at the end of the experiment.

Summary: This study compared the effects of delivering Bifidobacterium animas subsp. lactis BB-12 through a yogurt smoothie or a capsule on healthy adults. The results showed that daily consumption of BB-12 did not significantly alter the composition of the gut microbiota, gut transit times, or fecal SCFA concentration in the study cohort.
