[PMID: 39226643 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.141011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2024] [Revised: 08/15/2024] [Accepted: 08/25/2024] [Indexed: 09/05/2024]
Abstract
Chlorogenic acid (CGA) is a well-known plant secondary metabolite exhibiting multiple physiological functions. The present study focused on screening for synergistic antibacterial combinations containing CGA. The combination of CGA and p-coumaric acid (pCA) exhibited remarkably enhanced antibacterial activity compared to that when administering the treatment only. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that a low-dose combination treatment could disrupt the Shigella dysenteriae cell membrane. A comprehensive analysis using nucleic acid and protein leakage assay, conductivity measurements, and biofilm formation inhibition experiments revealed that co-treatment increased the cell permeability and inhibited the biofilm formation substantially. Further, the polyacrylamide protein- and agarose gel-electrophoresis indicated that the proteins and DNA genome of Shigella dysenteriae severely degraded. Finally, the synergistic bactericidal effect was established for fresh-cut tomato preservation. This study demonstrates the remarkable potential of strategically selecting antibacterial agents with maximum synergistic effect and minimum dosage exhibiting excellent antibacterial activity in food preservation.

Functional potential of a new plant-based fermented beverage: Benefits through non-conventional probiotic yeasts and antioxidant properties. Int J Food Microbiol 2024; 424:110857. [PMID: 39141973 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2024.110857] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2024] [Revised: 07/26/2024] [Accepted: 08/05/2024] [Indexed: 08/16/2024]
Abstract
Functional foods represent one of the fastest-growing, newer food category, and plant sources with functional properties are increasingly used as analogues of fermented milk-based derivatives. In this study, blended wort-rooibos beverages fermented with probiotic yeasts are proposed for the first time. Benefits of functional, non-conventional Lachancea thermotolerans (Lt101), Kazachstania unispora (Kum3-B3), Meyerozyma guilliermondii (Mg112), Meyerozyma caribbica (Mc58) and Debaryomyces hansenii (Dh36) yeast strains and the content of bioactive metabolites were evaluated. Viability tests on the probiotic yeasts confirmed previous results obtained in other matrices. The functional footprint of probiotic yeasts Lt101, Mg112 and Dh36 was confirmed by a balanced nutritional profile of the final drinks, also supported by aromatic and sensory analyses. In vitro estimated glycaemic index ranged between 77 % and 87 % without any influence on glycaemic response. Strains Dh36, Mc58, Kum3-B3 and Mg112 showed high antioxidant capacity and high total phenolic content, supporting the health promoting effect of the beverages.

High-pressure processing and heat treatment of Murrah buffalo milk: Comparative study on microbial changes during refrigerated storage. Int J Food Microbiol 2024; 426:110926. [PMID: 39368122 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2024.110926] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2024] [Revised: 09/16/2024] [Accepted: 09/28/2024] [Indexed: 10/07/2024]
Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the effect of high-pressure processing (HPP) (500 and 600 MPa for 3 min and 5 min) on the microbial changes of Murrah buffalo milk in comparison to heat treatment (72 °C for 15 s of holding time) during refrigerated storage of 28 days. The results indicated that the total plate count (TPC) of raw milk at day 0 was 5.5 ± 0.6 log10 CFU/mL. At day 0, heat treatment lowered TPC to 3.9 ± 0.6, while HPP treatment was in the range of 4.1 ± 0.3 to 4.8 ± 0.6 log10 CFU/mL. Similarly, lowered yeast and mold count and lactic acid bacteria were noted in heat- and HPP-treated milk samples compared to the control sample during refrigerated storage. There were no Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli detected in heat and HPP-treated samples. Heat or HPP treatment at 600 MPa for 5 min significantly extended the shelf-life of Murrah buffalo milk for three weeks at the refrigerated storage. In addition, HPP treatment did not alter the pH, lightness (L* value), protein, or fat content of Murrah buffalo milk during refrigerated storage. Hence HPP at 600 MPa for 5 min could be a suitable alternative to conventional heat treatment.

Abstract
Aflatoxins (AFs) are secondary metabolites produced by fungi, and they are deemed the most perilous mycotoxin and food safety predicament. The exposure of humans to mycotoxins transpires either directly through the consumption of contaminated agricultural commodities or indirectly through the ingestion of items derived from animals that have been nourished with tainted substances of animal origin. To ensure the detoxification of AFs in animal and plant food products and to mitigate the risks they pose to public health and the economy, diverse techniques (physical, chemical, and biological) have been subject to scrutiny. By altering and eradicating the molecular structure of the toxin, all of these approaches impede its transmission to the digestive system and potentially diminish the accessibility of toxins to the target tissue, ultimately eliminating them. Given the pervasive predicaments attributed to the contamination of foods and feeds by AFs, it is of utmost importance to urgently devise cost-effective and appropriate strategies to combat this hazard. This review highlights the concept of AFs, definitions, and benefits of postbiotics and their biological role in the detoxification of AFs, as well as their benefits in the food-pharmaceutical industry.

Abstract
This study investigated the safety characteristics and potential probiotic properties of Enterococcus faecium by using whole genome analysis, and then explored the effect of this strain on the virulence of Listeria monocytogenes in vitro and during the storage of fermented sausages. Results showed that E. faecium B1 presented enterocin A, B, and P, enterolysin A, and UviB, and the exotoxin related genes and exoenzyme related genes were not detected in the genome of E. faecium B1. However, the adherence genes including acm and scm were present in this strain, which also positively correlated with characteristics related to probiotic potential. In addition, E. faecium could adapt to the condition of fermented sausages, and decrease the survival of L. monocytogenes in vitro and in vivo. The expression of the virulence genes (prfA, hly, inlA, and inlB) and sigB-related genes (prli42, rsbT, rsbU, rsbV, rsbW, and sigB) were all inhibited by E. faecium B1 to different extents during the storage of fermented sausages at 4 °C. Moreover, compared with the E. faecium B1 group, the expression level of entA, entB, and entP genes of E. faecium B1 in the co-culture of fermented sausages was increased during the storage, which may be the inhibition mechanism of E. faecium B1 on L. monocytogenes. These results demonstrated that E. faecium B1 could potentially be used as bio-protection to control L. monocytogenes in meat products.

Abstract
A gastric ulcer is a stomach lining or nearby intestine disruption caused by acid and pepsin. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) and NSAIDs are the primary culprits behind stomach infections that can lead to gastric ulcers and other digestive disorders. Additionally, lifestyle choices such as alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking, stress, and exposure to cold environments can also contribute to non-infectious gastric ulcers. Various treatments are available for gastric ulcers, including antibiotics, anticholinergics, and antacids. However, potential concerns include antibiotic resistance, side effects, and treatment failure. Considering this, there is a need for an alternative approach to manage it. Fortunately, probiotics, typically Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, show potential for healing gastric ulcers, offering a non-invasive alternative to conventional treatments. A notable concern arises from applying probiotic bacteria stemming from the propensity of pathogenic bacteria to develop antimicrobial resistance in response to antibiotic therapies. Therefore, the use of yeast becomes more imperative due to its natural resistance to antibacterial antibiotics for antibacterial-treated patients. Probiotic bacteria and yeasts could heal gastric ulcers by regulating the immune response, reducing inflammation, and restoring the balance between defensive and aggressive factors of the gastric layer. This comprehensive review provides an in-depth analysis of the benefits of probiotics and their potential as a therapeutic treatment for non-infectious gastric ulcers, along with other probiotic options. In particular, this review provides a succinct summary of multiple literature studies on probiotics, emphasising the distinctive properties of yeast probiotics, as well as their (bacteria and yeasts) application in the management of non-infectious gastric ulcers.

Abstract
Microbial contamination of food and alimentary toxoinfection/intoxication in humans are commonly caused by bacteria such as Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli, Yersinia spp., Campylobacter spp., Listeria monocytogenes, and fungi (Aspergillus, Fusarium). The addition of probiotic cultures (bacterial strains Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium and the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii) to food contributes primarily to food enrichment and obtaining a functional product, but also to food preservation. Reducing the number of viable pathogenic microorganisms and eliminating or neutralizing their toxins in food is achieved by probiotic-produced antimicrobial substances such as organic acids (lactic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, phenylacetic acid, and phenyllactic acid), fatty acids (linoleic acid, butyric acid, caproic acid, and caprylic acid), aromatic compounds (diacetyl, acetaldehyde, reuterin), hydrogen peroxide, cyclic dipeptides, bacteriocins, and salivabactin. This review summarizes the basic facts on microbial contamination and preservation of food and the potential of different probiotic strains and their metabolites (postbiotics), including the mechanisms of their antimicrobial action against various foodborne pathogens. Literature data on this topic over the last three decades was searched in the PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases, systematically presented, and critically discussed, with particular attention to the advantages and disadvantages of using probiotics and postbiotics as food biopreservatives.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of dietary L-valine (Val) supplementation and sanitary conditions with lipopolysaccharide injection on growth performance, immune response, and intestinal bacterial profiles and metabolites in weaned pigs. Thirty-two weaned pigs (6.98 ± 0.47 kg) were randomly assigned to treatments in a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement based on dietary Val levels and sanitary conditions (low or high). The pigs were fed either a basal diet containing the standard levels of Val suggested by (NRC), (2012) or a basal diet supplemented with 0.1% L-Val. A room designated as a high sanitary room was washed weekly, whereas the designated low sanitary room was not washed throughout the experiment and 5 kg of manure from the nursery pig barn was spread on the pen floors on day 1. All data were analysed using a mixed procedure of SAS, with the individual pen as the experimental unit. The pigs raised in low sanitary conditions exhibited a lower (p < 0.05) average daily gain, average daily feed intake, and gain-to-feed ratio and a higher (p < 0.05) incidence of diarrhoea than those raised in high sanitary conditions during the 14-d experimental period. The pigs in the low sanitary group also had a lower (p < 0.05) concentration of butyrate in the jejunum and a higher (p < 0.05) concentration of NH3-N in the colon than those in the high sanitary group. Dietary Val supplementation was reduced (p < 0.05) plasma interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-1 receptor antagonist concentrations as well as isovalerate and NH3-N concentrations in the colon, regardless of sanitary conditions. Interactions between dietary Val supplementation and sanitary conditions were observed in the abundances of mRNA-encoding β-defensins 113, 125 and 129 (p < 0.05). In conclusion, dietary Val supplementation beneficially modulates inflammatory responses and microbial metabolites regardless of sanitary conditions while transcriptional levels of β-defensins are regulated by dietary Val supplementation in a manner dependent on housing hygiene conditions.

Abstract
Probiotics are live microorganisms that inhabit the gastrointestinal tract and confer health benefits to consumers. However, a sufficient number of viable probiotic cells must be delivered to the specific site of interest in the gastrointestinal tract to exert these benefits. Enhanced viability and tolerance to sublethal gastrointestinal stress can be achieved using appropriate coating materials and food matrices for orally consumed probiotics. The release mechanism and interaction of probiotic microcapsules with the gastrointestinal tract have been minimally explored in the literature to date. To the authors' knowledge, no review has been published to discuss the nature of release and the challenges in the targeted delivery of probiotics. This review addresses gastrointestinal-related complications in the formulation of targeted delivery and controlled release of probiotic strains. It investigates the impacts of environmental stresses during the transition stage and delivery to the target region in the gastrointestinal tract. The influence of factors such as pH levels, enzymatic degradation, and redox conditions on the release mechanisms of probiotics is presented. Finally, the available methods to evaluate the efficiency of a probiotic delivery system, including in vitro and in vivo, are reviewed and assessed. The paper concludes with a discussion highlighting the emerging technologies in the field and emphasising key areas in need of future study.

Abstract
The role of probiotics in regulating intestinal flora to enhance host immunity has recently received widespread attention. Altering the human gut microbiota may increase the predisposition to several disease phenotypes such as gut inflammation and metabolic disorders. The intestinal microbiota converts dietary nutrients into metabolites that serve as biologically active molecules in modulating regulatory functions in the host. Probiotics, which are active microorganisms, play a versatile role in restoring the composition of the gut microbiota, helping to improve host immunity and prevent intestinal disease phenotypes. This comprehensive review provides firsthand information on the gut microbiota and their influence on human health, the dietary effects of diet on the gut microbiota, and how probiotics alter the composition and function of the human gut microbiota, along with their corresponding effects on host immunity in building a healthy intestine. We also discuss the implications of probiotics in some of the most important human diseases. In summary, probiotics play a significant role in regulating the gut microbiota, boosting overall immunity, increasing the abundance of beneficial bacteria, and helping ameliorate the symptoms of multiple diseases.

Abstract
Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has exerted a profound adverse impact on human health. Studies have demonstrated that aerosol transmission is one of the major transmission routes of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Pathogenic microorganisms such as SARS-CoV-2 can survive in the air and cause widespread infection among people. Early monitoring of pathogenic microorganism transmission in the atmosphere and accurate epidemic prediction are the frontier guarantee for preventing large-scale epidemic outbreaks. Monitoring of pathogenic microorganisms in the air, especially in densely populated areas, may raise the possibility to detect viruses before people are widely infected and contain the epidemic at an earlier stage. The multi-scale coupled accurate epidemic prediction system can provide support for governments to analyze the epidemic situation, allocate health resources, and formulate epidemic response policies. This review first elaborates on the effects of the atmospheric environment on pathogenic microorganism transmission, which lays a theoretical foundation for the monitoring and prediction of epidemic development. Secondly, the monitoring technique development and the necessity of monitoring pathogenic microorganisms in the atmosphere are summarized and emphasized. Subsequently, this review introduces the major epidemic prediction methods and highlights the significance to realize a multi-scale coupled epidemic prediction system by strengthening the multidisciplinary cooperation of epidemiology, atmospheric sciences, environmental sciences, sociology, demography, etc. By summarizing the achievements and challenges in monitoring and prediction of pathogenic microorganism transmission in the atmosphere, this review proposes suggestions for epidemic response, namely, the establishment of an integrated monitoring and prediction platform for pathogenic microorganism transmission in the atmosphere.

Abstract
BACKGROUD Central nervous system (CNS) diseases pose a serious threat to human health, but the regulatory mechanisms and therapeutic strategies of CNS diseases need to be further explored. It has been demonstrated that the gut microbiota (GM) is closely related to CNS disease. GM structure disorders, abnormal microbial metabolites, intestinal barrier destruction and elevated inflammation exist in patients with CNS diseases and promote the development of CNS diseases. More importantly, GM remodeling alleviates CNS pathology to some extent. AIM OF REVIEW Here, we have summarized the regulatory mechanism of the GM in CNS diseases and the potential treatment strategies for CNS repair based on GM regulation, aiming to provide safer and more effective strategies for CNS repair from the perspective of GM regulation. KEY SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS OF REVIEW The abundance and composition of GM is closely associated with the CNS diseases. On the basis of in-depth analysis of GM changes in mice with CNS disease, as well as the changes in its metabolites, therapeutic strategies, such as probiotics, prebiotics, and FMT, may be used to regulate GM balance and affect its microbial metabolites, thereby promoting the recovery of CNS diseases.

Abstract
The health risks caused by aflatoxins, as one of the most important contaminants of human food and feed and the main cause of cancer, especially hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) were investigated. The aim of the study was to assess the antimutagenic effects of Bifidobacterium lactis (B. lactis) probiotic against aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). The study was conducted with 27 treatments and three replications. The independent variables were aflatoxin concentrations at three levels of 5, 15, and 25 ng/g and probiotic content in three forms of cellular sedimentation (CS), cell-free supernatant (CFS), and cell suspension. The antimutagenic activity of B. lactis against AFB1 was measured. The lowest score of antimutagenic activity of B. lactis was observed in bacterial cellular sediment treatment at 107 CFU/g and 25 ng/g of AFB1 (20.8 ± 3.80%) and the highest score was achieved with cell suspension at 109 CFU/g and 5 ng/g of AFB1 (74.9 ± 7.11%). In addition, the lack of mutagenicity of probiotics was confirmed. Therefore, probiotics not only alleviate aflatoxin in food matrices and benefit the consumer, but also notably decrease mutagenicity of AFB1.

Abstract
Milk is a source of many valuable nutrients, including minerals, vitamins and proteins, with an important role in adult health. Milk and dairy products naturally containing or with added probiotics have healthy functional food properties. Indeed, probiotic microorganisms, which beneficially affect the host by improving the intestinal microbial balance, are recognized to affect the immune response and other important biological functions. In addition to macronutrients and micronutrients, biologically active peptides (BPAs) have been identified within the amino acid sequences of native milk proteins; hydrolytic reactions, such as those catalyzed by digestive enzymes, result in their release. BPAs directly influence numerous biological pathways evoking behavioral, gastrointestinal, hormonal, immunological, neurological, and nutritional responses. The addition of BPAs to food products or application in drug development could improve consumer health and provide therapeutic strategies for the treatment or prevention of diseases. Herein, we review the scientific literature on probiotics, BPAs in milk and dairy products, with special attention to milk from minor species (buffalo, sheep, camel, yak, donkey, etc.); safety assessment will be also taken into consideration. Finally, recent advances in foodomics to unveil the probiotic role in human health and discover novel active peptide sequences will also be provided.

Abstract
Probiotics are beneficial microorganisms, mostly lactic acid bacteria (LAB), that offer health benefits to the host when consumed in adequate amounts. This study assessed the probiotic efficacy and safety of LAB strains isolated from Laban, a traditional fermented milk product. Seven primarily selected Gram-positive, catalase-negative, non-spore-forming isolates were examined for their antimicrobial activity against the bacterial pathogens Bacillus cereus, Salmonella typhi, Staphylococcus aureus, and Vibrio cholera, and the fungal pathogen Candida albicans. Two isolates, identified as Pediococcus pentosaceus L1 and Streptococcus thermophilus L3, which showed antimicrobial activity against all pathogens, were further evaluated for their probiotic competence. The selected isolates demonstrated strong resistance to low pH, bile salts, and phenol, indicating their potential for gastric endurance. They also exhibited high cell surface hydrophobicity to various hydrocarbons, autoaggregation, and coaggregation properties, demonstrating strong adhesion abilities. In addition, both isolates showed strong antioxidant activity and were non-hemolytic. Although the isolates had some resistance to certain antibiotics, they were generally susceptible to commonly used antibiotics. The two LAB strains also exhibited promising technological properties, such as milk coagulation and exopolysaccharide production, indicating their potential to enhance the quality of dairy products. The results suggest that the LAB strains isolated from Laban have strong potential as probiotics, and due to their food origin, they are highly likely to exhibit maximal efficacy in food and pharmaceutical products for human consumption.

Abstract
Currently, many advances have been made in avoiding food contamination by numerous pathogenic and toxigenic microorganisms. Many studies have shown that different probiotics, in addition to having beneficial effects on the host's health, have a very good ability to eliminate and neutralize pathogens and their toxins in foods which leads to enhanced food safety. The present review purposes to comprehensively discuss the role of probiotics in improving food safety by inactivating pathogens (bacterial, fungal, viral, and parasite agents) and neutralizing their toxins in food products. Some recent examples in terms of the anti-microbial activities of probiotics in the body after consuming contaminated food have also been mentioned. This review shows that different probiotics have the potential to inactivate pathogens and neutralize and detoxify various biological agents in foods, as well as in the host body after consumption.

Abstract
This study aimed to explore the safety and properties of Lacticaseibacillus paracasei IDCC 3401 as a novel probiotic strain via genomic and phenotypic analyses. In whole-genome sequencing, the genes associated with antibiotic resistance and virulence were not detected in this strain. The minimum inhibitory concentration test revealed that L. paracasei IDCC 3401 was susceptible to all the antibiotics tested, except for kanamycin. Furthermore, the strain did not produce toxigenic compounds, such as biogenic amines and D-lactate, nor did it exhibit significant toxicity in a single-dose acute oral toxicity test in rats. Phenotypic characterization of carbohydrate utilization and enzymatic activities indicated that L. paracasei IDCC 3401 can utilize various nutrients, allowing it to grow in deficient conditions and produce health-promoting metabolites. The presence of L. paracasei IDCC 3401 supernatants significantly inhibited the growth of enteric pathogens (p < 0.05). In addition, the adhesion ability of L. paracasei IDCC 3401 to intestinal epithelial cells was found to be as superior as that of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG. These results suggest that L. paracasei IDCC 3401 is safe for consumption and provides health benefits to the host.

Abstract
Many bacteria have the ability to survive in challenging environments; however, they cannot all grow on standard culture media, a phenomenon known as the viable but non-culturable (VBNC) state. Bacteria commonly enter the VBNC state under nutrient-poor environments or under stressful conditions. This review explores the concept of the VBNC state, providing insights into the beneficial bacteria known to employ this strategy. The investigation covers different chemical and physical factors that can induce the latency state, cell features, and gene expression observed in cells in the VBNC state. The review also covers the significance and applications of beneficial bacteria, methods of evaluating bacterial viability, the ability of bacteria to persist in environments associated with higher organisms, and the factors that facilitate the return to the culturable state. Knowledge about beneficial bacteria capable of entering the VBNC state remains limited; however, beneficial bacteria in this state could face adverse environmental conditions and return to a culturable state when the conditions become suitable and continue to exert their beneficial effects. Likewise, this unique feature positions them as potential candidates for healthcare applications, such as the use of probiotic bacteria to enhance human health, applications in industrial microbiology for the production of prebiotics and functional foods, and in the beer and wine industry. Moreover, their use in formulations to increase crop yields and for bacterial bioremediation offers an alternative pathway to harness their beneficial attributes.

Abstract
The adhesion of probiotics plays an important role in the gastrointestinal tract. Understanding the effect of the coverage of colonized probiotics on enteric pathogens is critical for the design of effective probiotic therapies. In the present work, we have investigated the adaptive behaviors of the intestinal pathogenic bacteria Enterobacter sakazakii (ES) near the surfaces coated with a probiotic─Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) as a function of surface coverage ratio (CRLGG) by using a home-setup digital holographic microscopy. It shows that ES cells can adaptively sense LGG within a distance of 4.2 μm, even at CRLGG values as low as 0.05%. The growth inhibition of ES cells slightly varies with CRLGG, but the near-surface acceleration and accumulation of ES cells have much dependence on CRLGG. As CRLGG increases from 0.05 to 24.6%, the percentage of actively swimming ES, the motion bias, the acceleration, and the interplay duration do not linearly vary with CRLGG. Instead, each of them shows an extreme at CRLGG of 13.4%, corresponding to the chemotaxis behaviors of ES cells induced by diffusing stimuli (organic acids, bacteriocins, etc.) released from LGG, which showed an extreme concentration gradient at CRLGG = 13.4% by simulations. Our study clearly demonstrates that surface coverage of sessile probiotics profoundly influences their interplay with pathogen bacteria, which should be taken into account in designing probiotic therapies.

Syahrulawal L, Torske MO, Sapkota R, Næss G, Khanal P. Improving the nutritional values of yellow mealworm Tenebrio molitor (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) larvae as an animal feed ingredient: a review. J Anim Sci Biotechnol 2023; 14:146. [PMID: 38042833 PMCID: PMC10693714 DOI: 10.1186/s40104-023-00945-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2023] [Accepted: 10/06/2023] [Indexed: 12/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Yellow mealworm larvae (YML; Tenebrio molitor) are considered as a valuable insect species for animal feed due to their high nutritional values and ability to grow under different substrates and rearing conditions. Advances in the understanding of entomophagy and animal nutrition over the past decades have propelled research areas toward testing multiple aspects of YML to exploit them better as animal feed sources. This review aims to summarize various approaches that could be exploited to maximize the nutritional values of YML as an animal feed ingredient. In addition, YML has the potential to be used as an antimicrobial or bioactive agent to improve animal health and immune function in production animals. The dynamics of the nutritional profile of YML can be influenced by multiple factors and should be taken into account when attempting to optimize the nutrient contents of YML as an animal feed ingredient. Specifically, the use of novel land-based and aquatic feeding resources, probiotics, and the exploitation of larval gut microbiomes as novel strategies can assist to maximize the nutritional potential of YML. Selection of relevant feed supplies, optimization of ambient conditions, the introduction of novel genetic selection procedures, and implementation of effective post-harvest processing may be required in the future to commercialize mealworm production. Furthermore, the use of appropriate agricultural practices and technological improvements within the mealworm production sector should be aimed at achieving both economic and environmental sustainability. The issues highlighted in this review could pave the way for future approaches to improve the nutritional value of YML.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stunting become a global concern because it's not only affecting physical stature, but also affecting on neurodevelopment and cognitive function. These impacts are resulting in long-term consequences especially for human resources, such as poor-quality labor, decreased productivity due to decreasing of health quality, including immunity and cognitive aspect. DISCUSSION This comprehensive review found that based on many studies, there is an altered gut microbiota, or dysbiosis, in stunted children, causing the impairment of brain development through Microbiota-Gut Brain Axis (MGB Axis) mechanism. The administration of probiotics has been known affect MGBA by improving the physical and chemical gut barrier integrity, producing antimicrobial substance to inhibit pathogen, and recovering the healthy gut microbiota. Probiotics, along with healthy gut microbiota, produce SCFAs which have various positive impact on CNS, such as increase neurogenesis, support the development and function of microglia, reduce inflammatory signaling, improve the Blood Brain Barrier's (BBB's) integrity, produce neurotropic factors (e.g. BDNF, GDNF), and promote the formation of new synapse. Probiotics also could induce the production of IGF-1 by intestinal epithelial cells, which functioned as growth factor of multiple body tissues and resulted in improvement of linear growth as well as brain development. CONCLUSION These properties of probiotics made it become the promising and feasible new treatment approach for stunting. But since most of the studies in this field are conducted in animal models, it is necessary to translate animal data into human models and do additional study to identify the numerous components in the MGB axis and the effect of probiotics on human.

Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have excellent tolerance to the gastrointestinal environment and high adhesion ability to intestinal epithelial cells, which could be closely related to the LuxS/AI-2 Quorum sensing (QS) system. Here, the crucial enzymes involved in the synthesis of AI-2 was analyzed in Lacticaseibacillus paracasei S-NB, and the luxS deletion mutant was constructed by homologous recombination based on the Cre-lox system. Afterwards, the effect of luxS gene on the probiotic activities in L. paracasei S-NB was investigated. Notably, the tolerance of simulated gastrointestinal digestion, AI-2 production, ability of auto-aggregation and biofilm formation significantly decreased (p < 0.05 for all) in the S-NB△luxS mutant. Compared to the wild-type S-NB, the degree of reduction in the relative transcriptional level of the biofilm -related genes in Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 was diminished when co-cultured with S-NB△luxS. Furthermore, the inhibitory effect of S-NB△luxS on the adhesion (competition, exclusion and displacement) of E. coli ATCC 25922 and S. aureus ATCC 25923 to Caco-2 cells markedly decreased. Therefore, comprehensive analysis of the role by luxS provides an insight into the LuxS/AI-2 QS system of L. paracasei S-NB in the regulation of strain characteristics and inhibition of pathogens.

Abstract
The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine which variables affect the viability of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) added to different types of refrigerated foods during the first 28 days. Scopus, ScienceDirect, PubMed and Cochrane Central Register of Reviews databases were searched from 1997 to April 2022. A total of 278 studies, which showed randomized and controlled experiments published in peer reviewed journals, were included. The viability of LAB in different moments during the storage process was synthesized as mean point estimate (MPE) via random-effects meta-analyses and the effect of multiple factors on the LAB´s viability was evaluated by multiple meta-regression. The meta-analysis showed that the decrease in LAB viability will be more abrupt the greater the initial dose. The physical structure of food may influence bacterial viability. Fruit was the type of product that most quickly lost viability. Co-culture of two or more species did not affect viability. Preservation methods had an unfavorable effect and prebiotics had a beneficial effect on bacterial viability. Viability was genus dependent. The data obtained in this study provide an overview of the factors to be taken into account for the design of new foods.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increasing research into probiotics is showing potential benefits for health in general and mental health in particular. Kombucha is a recent beverage and can be considered a probiotic drink, but little is known about its effects on physical and mental health. This product is experiencing growth in the market; however, there are no scientific results to support its potential for physical and mental health. AIM This review article aims to draw attention to this issue and to highlight the lack of studies in this area. KEY FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS The lack of legislation for the correct marketing of this product may also constrain clinical studies. However, clinical studies are of utmost importance for an in-depth understanding of the effects of this product on the human body. More research is needed, not only to better understand the impact of Kombucha on the human body, but also to ensure the application of regulatory guidelines for its production and marketing and enable its safe and effective consumption.

Abstract
Metabolic by-products are part of the so-called postbiotics of probiotics and other beneficial microorganisms, particularly lactic acid bacteria, which have gained popularity as a feasible alternative to improving food quality and safety. Postbiotics in dry and liquid forms can be easily integrated into food formulations and packaging materials, exhibiting antimicrobial and antioxidant effects owing to the presence of multiple antimicrobials, such as organic acids, bacteriocins, exopolysaccharides and bioactive peptides. Postbiotics can thus control the growth of pathogens and spoilage microorganisms, thereby extending the shelf life of food products. Because of their ability to be easily manufactured without requiring extensive processing, postbiotics are regarded as a safer and more sustainable alternative to synthetic preservatives, which can have negative environmental consequences. Additionally, food manufacturers can readily adopt postbiotics in food formulations without significant modifications. This systematic review provides an in-depth analysis of studies on the use of postbiotics in the biopreservation and packaging of a wide range of food products. The review evaluates and discusses the types of microorganisms, postbiotics preparation and modification techniques, methods of usage in dairy products, meat, poultry, seafood, fruits, vegetables, bread, and egg, and their effects on food quality and safety.

Abstract
Cyclophosphamide causes side effects in cancer patients, including hepatotoxicity. Probiotics have recently emerged as potential approaches for the administration of many diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the protective effects of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum P101 against cyclophosphamide-induced liver injury and elucidate the underlying mechanism. In this study, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum P101 or Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG were pre-administered to mice with varying duration (1 week, 2 weeks, and 3 weeks) before being intraperitoneally injected with cyclophosphamide at a dose of 30 mg/kg/day for 7 days to induce liver injury. Results demonstrated that cyclophosphamide-induced liver injury was characterized by histopathological disorders, including irregular central venous shape and hepatic vascular rupture, as well as a severe inflammation response and oxidative stress. The administration of probiotics for 3 weeks exerted the most significant improvements in alleviating liver injury, oxidative stress, and inflammation when compared to the shorter intervention duration. Notably, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum P101 exhibited more pronounced effects than Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG. Furthermore, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum P101 enhanced the antioxidant defense system by activating the Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway, ultimately alleviating hepatotoxicity and hepatocyte apoptosis. In conclusion, this study highlighted the potential of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum P101 to alleviate cyclophosphamide-induced hepatotoxicity.

Abstract
The gut microbiota represents a community of microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, archaea, viruses, and protozoa) that colonize the gut and are responsible for gut mucosal structural integrity and immune and metabolic homeostasis. The relationship between the gut microbiome and human health has been intensively researched in the past years. It is now widely recognized that gut microbial composition is highly responsible for the general health of the host. Among the diseases that have been linked to an altered gut microbial population are diarrheal illnesses and functional constipation. The capacity of probiotics to modulate the gut microbiome population, strengthen the intestinal barrier, and modulate the immune system together with their antioxidant properties have encouraged the research of probiotic therapy in many gastrointestinal afflictions. Dietary and lifestyle changes and the use of probiotics seem to play an important role in easing constipation and effectively alleviating diarrhea by suppressing the germs involved. This review aims to describe how probiotic bacteria and the use of specific strains could interfere and bring benefits as an associated treatment for diarrhea and constipation.

Abstract
It was aimed to assess the antimicrobial potential of lyophilized/freeze-dried paraprobiotic (LP) of P. acidilactici against some food-borne pathogens under in-vitro conditions and food model, and determination of bioactive compounds that contribute to the antimicrobial activity of LP. For this purpose, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), inhibition zones were determined against Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella Typhimurium and Escherichia coli O157:H7. The MIC value was 6.25 mg/mL and a 20 µL LP displayed 8.78 to 10.0 mm inhibition zones against these pathogens. In the food matrice challenge, two concentrations of LP (3% and 6%) alone or in combination with EDTA (0.02 M) were added to pathogenic bacteria spiked meatballs, and antimicrobial activity of LP was also determined during refrigerated storage. 6% LP + 0.02 M EDTA treatment provided 1.32 to 3.11 log10 CFU/g reductions in the numbers of these pathogens (P < 0.05). Furthermore, this treatment provided significant reductions on psychrotrophs, TVC, LAB, mold-yeast, and Pseudomonas spp. over the storage (P < 0.05). Regarding characterization results, LP contained contained a wide variety of bioactive compounds, including 5 organic acids (2.15 to 30.64 g/100 g), 19 free amino acids (6.97 to 699.15 mg/100 g), free fatty acids (short-, medium-, and long-chain fatty acids), 15 polyphenols (0.03 to 383.78 mg/100 g), and some volatile compounds such as pyrazines, pyranone and pyrrole derivatives. These bioactive compounds are not only involved in antimicrobial activity but also contribute to the free radical scavenging activity according to the DPPH, ABTS and FRAP assays. In conclusion, the result revealed that the LP improved the chemical and microbiological quality of foods due to containing biologically-active metabolites involved in antimicrobial and antioxidant capacity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Carbon dots (CDs), as excellent antibacterial nanomaterials, have gained great attention in treating infection-induced diseases such as periodontitis and stomatitis. Given the eventual exposure of CDs to the intestine, elucidating the effect of CDs on intestinal health is required for the safety evaluation of CDs. RESULTS Herein, CDs extracted from ε-poly-L-lysine (PL) were chosen to explore the modulation effect of CDs on probiotic behavior in vitro and intestinal remodeling in vivo. Results verify that PL-CDs negatively regulate Lactobacillus rhamnosus (L. rhamnosus) growth via increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and reducing the antioxidant activity, which subsequently destroys membrane permeability and integrity. PL-CDs are also inclined to inhibit cell viability and accelerate cell apoptosis. In vivo, the gavage of PL-CDs is verified to induce inflammatory infiltration and barrier damage in mice. Moreover, PL-CDs are found to increase the Firmicutes to Bacteroidota (F/B) ratio and the relative abundance of Lachnospiraceae while decreasing that of Muribaculaceae. CONCLUSION Overall, these evidences indicate that PL-CDs may inevitably result in intestinal flora dysbiosis via inhibiting probiotic growth and simultaneously activating intestinal inflammation, thus causing pathological damage to the intestine, which provides an effective and insightful reference for the potential risk of CDs from the perspective of intestinal remodeling.

Abstract
Global production of dried fruits has increased significantly in the past decade. Both the increased consumer acceptance of nutritious packaged food and the broad use of dried fruits in products such as confectionery and bakery goods have fueled the dried fruit demand. Unfortunately, outbreaks and recalls due to contamination by pathogenic bacteria and viruses as well as the detection of mycotoxins highlight the need for optimizing current approaches, and evaluating and adopting newer interventions to protect the microbial and chemical safety of dried fruits. Drying processes alone are inadequate to control these hazards. Pre- and post-drying treatments serve as promising opportunities, with or without combination with the drying step, to achieve the goals of efficient hazard control.

Abstract
This article discusses the issues of food safety and food security as a matter of global health. Foodborne illness and deaths caused by pathogens in food continue to be a worldwide problem, with a reported 600 million cases per year, leading to around 420,000 deaths in 2010. Predictive microbiology can play a crucial role in ensuring safe food through mathematical modelling to estimate microbial growth and behaviour. Food security is described as the social and economical means of accessing safe and nutritious food that meets people's dietary preferences and requirements for an active and healthy life. The article also examines various factors that influence food security, including economic, environmental, technological, and geopolitical challenges globally. The concept of food safety is described as a science-based process or action that prevents food from containing substances that could harm human health. Food safety receives limited attention from policymakers and consumers in low- and middle-income countries, where food safety issues are most prevalent. The article also highlights the importance of detecting contaminants and pathogens in food to prevent foodborne illnesses and reduce food waste. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), an institution belonging to World Health Organization (WHO) presented calls to action to solve some of the emerging problems in food safety, as it should be a concern of all people to be involved in the pursue of safer food. The guarantee of safe food pertaining to microbiological contamination, as there are different types of active microorganisms in foods, could be obtained using predictive microbiology tools, which study and analyse different microorganisms' behaviour through mathematical models. Studies published by several authors show the application of primary, secondary, or tertiary models of predictive microbiology used for different food products.

Abstract
This study investigated the in vitro antibacterial activity of Lactobacillus acidophilus AD125 against Escherichia coli (E. coli) O157:H7 and its probiotic properties: gastrointestinal tolerance, surface hydrophobicity, autoaggregation, coaggregation, and adhesion to Caco-2 cells. In addition, the action mode of the strain's antagonism against adhesion of E. coli O157:H7 to Caco-2 cells was analyzed, and related substances were also determined. Results showed that L. acidophilus AD125 had stronger antibacterial activity (inhibition zone of 20.47 ± 0.43 for AD125 culture solution and 14.55 ± 1.12 for cell-free supernatant) against E. coli O157:H7 than other Lactobacillus spp. Also, this strain had higher gastrointestinal tolerance, autoaggregation percentage (26.51 ± 0.71%), and coaggregation percentage (23.97 ± 0.44%) with E. coli O157:H7. High surface hydrophobicity of toluene and xylene (83.59 ± 2.54% and 93.45 ± 1.24%) was also observed. Bacterial adhesion counts were 1176.54 100 per cells, indicating good adhesion to Caco-2 cells. Furthermore, the exclusion, competition, and antibacterial effect of AD125 may have driven its antagonism against E. coli O157:H7 adhesion. Finally, surface-layer proteins, extracellular polysaccharides, and thermosensitive substances all participated in the antagonism against E. coli O157:H7, with surface-layer proteins the main related substances. These results show that Lactobacillus acidophilus AD125 is promising for inhibiting E. coli O157:H7 and preventing and treating intestinal diseases induced by E. coli O157:H7.

Gut-on-a-Chip for the Analysis of Bacteria-Bacteria Interactions in Gut Microbial Community: What Would Be Needed for Bacterial Co-Culture Study to Explore the Diet-Microbiota Relationship? Nutrients 2023; 15:nu15051131.

Abstract
Bacterial co-culture studies using synthetic gut microbiomes have reported novel research designs to understand the underlying role of bacterial interaction in the metabolism of dietary resources and community assembly of complex microflora. Since lab-on-a-chip mimicking the gut (hereafter "gut-on-a-chip") is one of the most advanced platforms for the simulative research regarding the correlation between host health and microbiota, the co-culture of the synthetic bacterial community in gut-on-a-chip is expected to reveal the diet-microbiota relationship. This critical review analyzed recent research on bacterial co-culture with perspectives on the ecological niche of commensals, probiotics, and pathogens to categorize the experimental approaches for diet-mediated management of gut health as the compositional and/or metabolic modulation of the microbiota and the control of pathogens. Meanwhile, the aim of previous research on bacterial culture in gut-on-a-chip has been mainly limited to the maintenance of the viability of host cells. Thus, the integration of study designs established for the co-culture of synthetic gut consortia with various nutritional resources into gut-on-a-chip is expected to reveal bacterial interspecies interactions related to specific dietary patterns. This critical review suggests novel research topics for co-culturing bacterial communities in gut-on-a-chip to realize an ideal experimental platform mimicking a complex intestinal environment.

Abstract
Pathogenic bacteria are pathogens widely spread that are capable of causing mild to life-threatening diseases in human beings or other organisms. Rationally organizing the simple helical motif of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) tiles into designed ensemble structures with architecturally defined collective properties could lead to promising biosensing applications for pathogen detection. In this work, we facilely engineered multivalent hairpin aptamer probe-tethered DNA monolayers (MHAP-DNA monolayers) and applied them to build a fluorescence polarization-responsive circular isothermal strand displacement amplification (FP-CSDA) for Salmonella assay. In this system, the MHAP-DNA monolayers were constructed based on a dsDNA tile-directed self-assembly. A FAM-labeled reporting probe (RPFAM) with an inherent low FP signal serves as the signaling unit. The presence of target Salmonella leads to the trapping of F RPFAM into the super DNA monolayers via a target-triggered CSDA to peel off the tethered hairpin-structured aptamer probes (HAPs) responsible for the binding of RPFAM. As a result, the FP signal of the FAM fluorophore can be remarkably amplified due to the recycling of target Salmonella and the capacity of structural DNA materials to strongly restrict the free rotation of the FAM fluorophore but without a fluorescence quenching effect. Experimental results demonstrate that the FP assay is able to detect Salmonella with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 7.2 × 100 CFU/mL and high specificity. As a proof-of-concept study, we envision our study using DNA nanoarchitecture as the foundation to modulate CSDA-based FP assays, promising to open up a new avenue for disease diagnosis, food safety detection, and biochemical studies.

Abstract
Contamination by pathogenic bacteria is the major cause of foodborne diseases, which is an international public health issue. Probiotics added to fermented milk can fight against these pathogens. This research aimed to evaluate, by mathematical models, the behaviour of Lactobacillus acidophilus against pathogenic strains inoculated in goat milk yogurt. The Baranyi and Roberts' model was adjusted to data and statistically evaluated. A greater pathogens reduction occurred in the samples supplemented with probiotics, which exhibited antimicrobial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The reduction was less efficient against Escherichia coli. The primary models adjustment indicated that the Baranyi and Roberts fitted the reduction of P. aeruginosa, Salmonella typhimurium, E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus inactivation. The addition of L. acidophilus proved to be an effective alternative for the safer production of goat milk yogurt.

Abstract
Bacteriocins are ribosomal-synthesized peptides or proteins produced by bacterial strains and can inhibit pathogenic bacteria. Numerous factors influence the potential activity of bacteriocins in food matrices. For example, food additives usage, chemical composition, physical conditions of food, and sensitivity of proteolytic enzymes can constrain the application of bacteriocins as beneficial food preservatives. However, novel bacteriocin nanoencapsulation has appeared as an encouraging solution. In this review, we highlight the bacteriocins produced by Gram-negative bacteria and Gram-positive bacteria including lactic acid bacteria that have shown positive results as potential food preservatives. In addition, this review encompasses the major focus on bacteriocins encapsulation with nanotechnology to enhance the antimicrobial action of bacteriocins. Several strategies can be employed to encapsulate bacteriocins; however, the nanotechnological approach is one of the most effective strategies for avoiding limitations. Nanoparticles such as liposomes, chitosan, protein, and polysaccharides have been discussed to show their importance in the nanoencapsulation method. The nanoparticles are combined with bacteriocins to develop the nano-encapsulated bacteriocins from Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria including LAB. In food systems, nanoencapsulation enhances the stability and antimicrobial functionality of active peptides. This nanotechnological application provides a formulation of a broad range of antimicrobial peptides at the industry-scale level. Nano-formulated bacteriocins have been discussed along with examples to show a broader antimicrobial spectrum, increase bacteriocins' applicability, extend antimicrobial spectrum and enhance stability.

Abstract
PURPOSE Considering the complex pathobiology of oral mucositis, especially in oral cancer patients, the prevention and treatment of oral mucositis in patients undergoing radiotherapy remains an essential and clinically crucial unmet need. The present study aims to investigate and compare the effects of synbiotic mouthwash with normal saline mouthwash on the prevention and control of radiotherapy-induced oral mucositis in oral cancer patients. METHODS Double-blind, randomized clinical trial (RCT) performed on 64 oral cancer patients who underwent radiotherapy (IRCT20201106049288N1, registration date: 2020-12-23). Patients were divided randomly into the case (32 subjects) and control (32 subjects) groups. All patients underwent intensity-modulated radiotherapy and received 6000 cGY of radiotherapy in 34 fractions. All patients received the usual treatment for mucositis, but in the case group, synbiotic mouthwash was prescribed and in the control group, normal saline mouthwash was prescribed from a day before the start to the end of radiotherapy treatment. Patients were monitored every session for 6 weeks to check the progression, oral involvement severity, and mucositis grade. RESULTS The case group showed a significant reduction in the oral mucositis severity. The mucositis grade in the case group from the 7th session of oral examination was significantly lower than the control (p < 0.05), and this significant difference persisted until the last session of oral examination. Incidence rates of severe oral mucositis (grade 3) during the treatment period were 11.59% in the case and 36.45% in control (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Synbiotic mouthwash significantly reduces and prevents oral mucositis intensity in oral cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy.

Abstract
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli is considered one of the primary bacterial pathogens that cause foodborne diseases because it can survive in meat, vegetables and so on. Understanding of the effect of vegetable characteristics on the adhesion and proliferation process of EHEC is necessary to develop control measures. In this review, the amount and methods of adhesion, the internalization pathway and proliferation process of EHEC have been described during the vegetable contamination. Types, cultivars, tissue characteristics, leaf age, and damage degree can affect EHEC adhesion on vegetables. EHEC cells contaminate the root surface of vegetables through soil and further internalize. It can also contaminate the stem scar tissue of vegetables by rain or irrigation water and internalize the vertical axis, as well as the stomata, necrotic lesions and damaged tissues of vegetable leaves. After EHEC adhered to the vegetables, they may further proliferate and form biofilms. Leaf and fruit tissues were more sensitive to biofilm formation, and shedding rate of biofilms on epidermis tissue was faster. Insights into the mechanisms of vegetable contamination by EHEC, including the role of exopolysaccharides and proteins responsible for movement, adhesion and oxidative stress response could reveal the molecular mechanism by which EHEC contaminates vegetables.

Abstract
Pathogenic dental plaque biofilms are universal and harmful, which can result in oral infections and systemic diseases. Many conventional therapeutic methods have proven insufficient or ineffective against plaque biofilms. Therefore, new strategies are urgently needed. Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum), a periodontal pathogen associated with a variety of oral and systemic diseases, is thought to be central to the development and structure of dental plaques. Here, ultra-small gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) were prepared. They exhibited potent antibacterial activity against F. nucleatum through enhanced destruction of bacterial membranes and generation of reactive oxygen species. Furthermore, due to their excellent penetration, the AuNCs could inhibit biofilm formation and destroy mature biofilms in vitro. Their antibiofilm efficacy was further confirmed in a mouse model, where they reduced biofilm accumulation and ameliorated inflammation. Meanwhile, the disruption of oral and gut microbiota caused by colonization of oral F. nucleatum could be partially restored through AuNCs treatment. Therefore, AuNCs could be considered as promising antibiofilm agents and have great potential in the clinical treatment of dental plaque.

Abstract
Mucosal vaccination offer an advantage over systemic inoculation from the immunological viewpoint. The development of an efficient vaccine is now a priority for emerging diseases such as COVID-19, that was declared a pandemic in 2020 and caused millions of deaths globally. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) especially Lactobacillus are the vital microbiota of the gut, which is observed as having valuable effects on animals’ and human health. LAB produce lactic acid as the major by-product of carbohydrate degradation and play a significant role in innate immunity enhancement. LAB have significant characteristics to mimic pathogen infections and intrinsically possess adjuvant properties to enhance mucosal immunity. Increasing demand and deliberations are being substantially focused on probiotic organisms that can enhance mucosal immunity against viral diseases. LAB can also strengthen their host’s antiviral defense system by producing antiviral peptides, and releasing metabolites that prevent viral infections and adhesion to mucosal surfaces. From the perspectives of “one health” and the use of probiotics, conventional belief has opened up a new horizon on the use of LAB as antivirals. The major interest of this review is to depict the beneficial use of LAB as antivirals and mucosal immunity enhancers against viral diseases.

In Vitro Selective Combinatory Effect of Ciprofloxacin with Nitroxoline, Sanguinarine, and Zinc Pyrithione against Diarrhea-Causing and Gut Beneficial Bacteria. Microbiol Spectr 2022; 10:e0106322.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance in diarrhea-causing bacteria and its disruption of gut microbiota composition are health problems worldwide. The development of combinatory agents that increase the selective inhibitory effect (synergism) against diarrheagenic pathogens and, simultaneously, have a lowered impact (antagonism) or no negative action on the gut microbiota is therefore proposed as a new strategy efficient for chemotherapy against diarrheal conditions. In this study, the in vitro selective combinatory effect of ciprofloxacin with nitroxoline, sanguinarine, and zinc pyrithione, representing various classes of alkaloid-related compounds (nitroquinolines, benzylisoquinolines and metal-pyridine derivative complexes) against selected standard diarrhea-causing (Bacillus cereus, Enterococcus faecalis, Listeria monocytogenes, Shigella flexneri, and Vibrio parahaemolyticus) and gut-beneficial (Bifidobacterium adolescentis, Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis, Bifidobacterium breve, Lactobacillus casei, and Lactobacillus rhamnosus) bacteria, was evaluated according to the sum of fractional inhibitory concentration indices (FICIs) obtained by the checkerboard method. The results showed that the individual combination of ciprofloxacin with nitroxoline, sanguinarine, and zinc pyrithione produced a synergistic effect against the pathogenic bacteria, with FICI values ranging from 0.071 to 0.5, whereas their antagonistic interaction toward the Bifidobacterium strains (with FICI values ranging from 4.012 to 8.023) was observed. Ciprofloxacin-zinc pyrithione produced significant synergistic action against S. flexneri, whereas a strong antagonistic interaction was observed toward B. breve for the ciprofloxacin-nitroxoline combination. These findings suggest that certain combinations of agents tested in this study can be used for the development of antidiarrheal therapeutic agents with reduced harmful action on the gastrointestinal microbiome. However, further studies focused on their pharmacological efficacy and safety are needed before they are considered for clinical trials. IMPORTANCE Diarrheal infections, which are commonly treated by antibiotics, are still responsible for over 4 to 5 million cases of human deaths annually. Moreover, the rising incidence of antibiotic resistance and its negative effect on beneficial bacteria (e.g., Bifidobacteria) of the gut microbial community are another problem. Thus, the development of selective agents able to inhibit diarrheal bacteria and, simultaneously, that have no negative impact on the gut microbiota, is important. Our results showed that individual combinations of ciprofloxacin with nitroxoline, sanguinarine, and zinc pyrithione produced synergism against the pathogenic bacteria, whereas their antagonistic interaction toward the beneficial strains was observed. The antagonism can be considered a positive effect contributing to the safety of the therapeutic agents, whereas their synergism against diarrheal bacteria significantly potentiates total antimicrobial efficacy. The certain combinations tested in this study can be used for the development of antidiarrheal agents with reduced harmful action on the gastrointestinal microbiome.

Abstract
High-fat diet induces lipid metabolism disorders that has become one of the grievous public health problems and imposes a serious economic and social burden worldwide. Safety probiotics isolated from nature are regarded as a novel supplementary strategy for preventing and improving diet-induced lipid metabolism disorders and related chronic diseases. The present review summarized the latest researches of probiotics in high fat diet induced lipid metabolism disorders to provide a critical perspective on the regulatory function of probiotics for future research. Furthermore, the screening criteria and general sources of probiotics with lipid-lowering ability also outlined to enlarge microbial species resource bank instantly, which promoted the development of functional foods with lipid-lowering strains from nature. After critically reviewing the lipid-lowering potential of probiotics both in vitro and in vivo and even in clinical data of humans, we provided a perspective that probiotics activated AMPK signaling pathway to regulate fat synthesis and decomposition, as well as affected positively the gut microbiota structure, intestinal barrier function and systemic inflammatory response, then these beneficial effects are amplified along Gut-liver axis, which regulated intestinal flora metabolites such as SCFAs and BAs by HMGCR/FXR/SHP signaling pathway to improve high fat diet induced lipid metabolism disorders effectively.

Abstract
An unbalanced diet and poor lifestyle are common reasons for numerous health complications in humans. Probiotics are known to provide substantial benefits to human health by producing several bioactive compounds, vitamins, short-chain fatty acids and short peptides. Diets that contain probiotics are limited to curd, yoghurt, kefir, kimchi, etc. However, exploring the identification of more potential probiotics and enhancing their commercial application to improve the nutritional quality would be a significant step to utilizing the maximum benefits. The complex evolution patterns among the probiotics are the hurdles in their characterization and adequate application in the industries and dairy products. This article has mainly discussed the molecular methods of characterization that are based on the analysis of ribosomal RNA, whole genome, and protein markers and profiles. It also has critically emphasized the emerging challenges in industrial applications of probiotics.

Abstract
The goal of this study was to determine the unique characteristics of Enterococcus faecium MC-5, a probiotic bacteria isolated from the intestine of a fish, Cyprinus carpio specularis, collected from Dal Lake in Srinagar, Kashmir, India. For this, the important valuable probiotic attributes, some functional properties, and safety assessments were analyzed in-vitro for the strain MC-5. The strain E. faecium MC-5 exhibited high resistance to low pH, high bile salt, lysozyme, and phenol. The strain MC-5 showed excellent auto- and co-aggregation properties and displayed remarkable hydrophobicity towards various tested hydrocarbons which suggested that the strain possesses venerable adhesion properties. Apart from these, the cell-free supernatant (CFS) of strain MC-5 exhibited phenomenal antimicrobial activity against the tested pathogens. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) image revealed strain MC-5 finely adhered to human colon adenocarcinoma cells (HCT-15 cells). The strain MC-5 showed high bile salt hydrolase activity and excellent cholesterol removal ability of 70.27%. The intact cells of strain MC-5 also showed strong DPPH scavenging activity. The EPS produced by E. faecium MC-5 inhibited the adhesion of Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella enterica on HCT-15 cells with maximum inhibition rates of 41.82, 40.34, and 55.51%, respectively for displacement assay, which was higher as compared to exclusion (26.06, 26.11, and 39.23%) and competition assays (30.06, 26.7, and 41.20%). Strain MC-5 did not exhibit hemolysis and was also found susceptible to vancomycin and other clinically important antibiotics. When evaluating all the results from the present study, it is propounded that strain MC-5 has enviable probiotic characteristics and thus can be used as bio-protective cultures and/or bio-shield in food and pharmaceutical industries.
