Abstract
Probiotics are live microorganisms that confer health benefits when administered in adequate amounts. They are used to promote gut health and alleviate various disorders. Recently, there has been an increasing interest in the potential effects of probiotics on human physiology. In the presented study, the effects of probiotic treatment on the metabolic profiles of human urine and serum using a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabonomic approach were investigated. Twenty-one healthy volunteers were enrolled in the study, and they received two different dosages of probiotics for 8 weeks. During the study, urine and serum samples were collected from volunteers before and during probiotic supplementation. The results showed that probiotics had a significant impact on the urinary and serum metabolic profiles without altering their phenotypes. This study demonstrated the effects of probiotics in terms of variations of metabolite levels resulting also from the different probiotic posology. Overall, the results suggest that probiotic administration may affect both urine and serum metabolomes, although more research is needed to understand the mechanisms and clinical implications of these effects. NMR-based metabonomic analysis of biofluids is a powerful tool for monitoring host-gut microflora dynamic interaction as well as for assessing the individual response to probiotic treatment.

Abstract
The number of live bacterial cells is the most used parameter to assess the quality of finished probiotic products. Plate counting (PC) is the standard method in industry to enumerate cells. Application of PC implies critical aspects related to the selection of optimal nutrient media and growth conditions and underestimation of viable but not cultivable (VBNC) cells. Flow-cytometry (FC) is a culture-independent methodology having the potential to selectively enumerate live, damaged, and dead cells representing a powerful tool for in-depth monitoring of probiotic products. We monitored the shelf life of a clinical batch of a synbiotic composition PDS-08 targeting the pediatric population by means of PC and FC according to International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) pharma guidelines testing the Arrhenius model as predictive tool; PC enumeration revealed higher destruction rate than FC suggesting a faster reduction in cultivability than membrane integrity and thus a possible shift of the bacteria into a VBNC status. PDS-08 maintained acidification capability over time, when re-suspended in nutrient medium, even in samples tested sub-optimally for CFU detection (below 1 billion cells/dose). Due to similar kinetics described by the study of metabolic activity and membrane integrity, FC might be suggested as a valid tool for the study of functional stability of a probiotic product.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Succinate is produced by both human cells and by gut bacteria and couples metabolism to inflammation as an extracellular signaling transducer. Circulating succinate is elevated in patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes and is linked to numerous complications, yet no studies have specifically addressed the contribution of gut microbiota to systemic succinate or explored the consequences of reducing intestinal succinate levels in this setting. RESULTS Using germ-free and microbiota-depleted mouse models, we show that the gut microbiota is a significant source of circulating succinate, which is elevated in obesity. We also show in vivo that therapeutic treatments with selected bacteria diminish the levels of circulating succinate in obese mice. Specifically, we demonstrate that Odoribacter laneus is a promising probiotic based on its ability to deplete succinate and improve glucose tolerance and the inflammatory profile in two independent models of obesity (db/db mice and diet-induced obese mice). Mechanistically, this is partly mediated by the succinate receptor 1. Supporting these preclinical findings, we demonstrate an inverse correlation between plasma and fecal levels of succinate in a cohort of patients with severe obesity. We also show that plasma succinate, which is associated with several components of metabolic syndrome including waist circumference, triglycerides, and uric acid, among others, is a primary determinant of insulin sensitivity evaluated by the euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp. CONCLUSIONS Overall, our work uncovers O. laneus as a promising next-generation probiotic to deplete succinate and improve glucose tolerance and obesity-related inflammation. Video Abstract.

Abstract
Flower pollen is collected by honeybee foragers, adhered on their rear legs and transported into the hives in the form of pellets. Once in the hives, bee pollen is moisturised with nectar and bee mouth secretions and due to enzymatically modifications it becomes the so-called bee-bread, the protein reservoir of young bees. Bee pollen can be artificially removed from bee legs and collected by using specific systems, the bee pollen traps. Bee pollen is commercialized for human consumption as fresh product and after freezing or drying. Although bee pollen is nowadays largely consumed in developed countries, as food or food supplement according to local legislation, little is known on its safety related to microbiological hazards. In this work, we aimed to characterize for the first time the microbiological profile of Italian bee pollen in fresh, frozen and dried form collected along an entire harvesting season. Moreover, monthly microbiological analyses were performed on frozen (storage at -18°C) and dried (storage at room temperature) bee pollen over a 4 months period. Further aim of this work was the evaluation of the possible impact on production level of three different traps used for pollen collection. Our results on microbial contamination of fresh and frozen bee pollen show that a more comprehensive microbiological risk assessment of bee pollen is required. On the other side, dried pollen showed very low microbial contamination and no pathogen survived after the drying process and during storage.
