Abstract
INTRODUCTION Intestinal infections are a significant health issue; antibiotics are essential in treating acute intestinal infections. However, evidence in the literature shows that the excessive use of antibiotics has created many threats to human health. This work aimed to study the impact of apple pectin in combination with antibiotics on treating patients with amebiasis and dysentery. METHODOLOGY Patients suffering from acute intestinal diseases (amebiasis and dysentery) were treated with traditional antibiotic therapy and a new formula containing antibiotics with low and high methoxylated apple pectin in a randomized block design. Four clinical trials were performed at the Infection Disease Hospital from 1998 until 2013. RESULTS The study demonstrated that the antibiotic-pectin formulae (APF) significantly reduced the severity of acute intestinal infection diseases and allowed patients to recover faster than conventional treatment. APF reduced the patient's stay in the hospital by 3.0 ± 1.0 days. The clinical trial findings demonstrated that applying APF in intestinal infection diseases helped maintain a constant concentration of the antibiotic in the blood and accelerated the clinical recovery of the patients. CONCLUSIONS It was concluded that using pectin with antibiotics could improve clinical outcomes in patients with acute infectious diseases. Research on elucidating the mechanisms of pectin digestion in the colon, polyphenol content, and its role in dysbiosis recovery, etc., is also considered.

Abstract
Ivermectin is a an anti-helminthic that is critical globally for both human and veterinary care. To the best of our knowledge, information available regarding the influence of ivermectin (IVM) on the gut microbiota has only been collected from diseased donors, who were treated with IVM alone or in combination with other medicines. Results thus obtained were influenced by multiple elements beyond IVM, such as disease, and other medical treatments. The research presented here investigated the impact of IVM on the gut microbial structure established in a Triple-SHIME® (simulator of the human intestinal microbial ecosystem), using fecal material from three healthy adults. The microbial communities were grown using three different culture media: standard SHIME media and SHIME media with either soluble or insoluble fiber added (control, SF, ISF). IVM introduced minor and temporary changes to the gut microbial community in terms of composition and metabolite production, as revealed by 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing analysis, flow cytometry, and GC-MS. Thus, it was concluded that IVM is not expected to induce dysbiosis or yield adverse effects if administered to healthy adults. In addition, the donor's starting community influences the relationship between IVM and the gut microbiome, and the soluble fiber component in feed could protect the gut microbiota from IVM; an increase in short-chain fatty acid production was predicted by PICRUSt2 and detected with IVM treatment.

Abstract
In the present research, we investigated changes in the gut metabolome that occurred in response to the administration of the Laticaseibacillus rhamnosus strain GG (LGG). The probiotics were added to the ascending colon region of mature microbial communities established in a human intestinal microbial ecosystem simulator. Shotgun metagenomic sequencing and metabolome analysis suggested that the changes in microbial community composition corresponded with changes to metabolic output, and we can infer linkages between some metabolites and microorganisms. The in vitro method permits a spatially-resolved view of metabolic transformations under human physiological conditions. By this method, we found that tryptophan and tyrosine were mainly produced in the ascending colon region, while their derivatives were detected in the transverse and descending regions, revealing sequential amino acid metabolic pathways along with the colonic tract. The addition of LGG appeared to promote the production of indole propionic acid, which is positively associated with human health. Furthermore, the microbial community responsible for the production of indole propionic acid may be broader than is currently known.

Abstract
Commercial pectin production is based on vacuum evaporation and alcohol precipitation (VEAP) using large quantities of expensive and flammable alcohol. This process has high production costs that have greatly limited the commercial use of refined pectins. This study demonstrates a new technology using a diaultrafiltration (DUF) process in a pilot plant, which is a low-cost, green, and ecologically friendly way to produce pectin. In terms of the structure and quality of their products, a comparison of the two methods suggest that DUF provides significant (p < 0.05) flux enhancement, high pectin purity, and separation of the main pectin backbones, with higher molar mass (Mw) and less polydispersity (Mw/Mn) of pectin samples. An analysis of the 1D and 2D NMR spectra reveals that the DUF process removes most free impurities extracted along with the pectin macromolecules, making this method preferable to use. An analysis of power and chemical consumption demonstrates that the new process is preferable over existing methods due to lower energy consumption and higher product quality. It also possesses a flexible technical design that allows it to produce semi-products from various raw materials.
