Inflammatory/immune cells and mediators are substantial for wound healing because they orchestrate biological activities in this complex process. Among factors that affect healing, obesity, metabolic diseases among the most significant, particularly of a relationship between obesity prediabetic state with immune reactivity. Using Dark Agouti (DA) Albino Oxford (AO) rats, which differ responses as well proneness to we examined impact these intrinsic on cutaneous healing. Dynamics process were...
Enterococci represent the most controversial group of dairy bacteria. They are found to be main constituent many traditional Mediterranean products and contribute their characteristic taste flavor. On other hand, during last 50 years antibiotic-resistant enterococci have emerged as leading causes nosocomial infections worldwide. The aim this study was determine diversity, technological properties, antibiotic susceptibility virulence traits 636 previously isolated from 55 artisan 12 locations...
In this study, for the first time, comprehensive analysis of antiproliferative and antioxidant activities ramson, followed by its associated microbiota health-promoting effects lactic acid bacteria (LAB), was performed. Ramson ( Allium ursinum ) is recognized as a medicinal plant with long history use in traditional medicine due to antimicrobial activity. study influence vitro gastrointestinal digestion on cytotoxic activity A. extracts against human malignant cell lines demonstrated. Seven...
Cadmium (Cd) is a highly toxic metal that distributed worldwide. Exposure to it correlated with vast number of diseases and organism malfunctions. Exopolysaccharides (EPS) derived from Lactiplantibacillus plantarum BGAN8, EPS-AN8, previously showed great potential for the in vitro protection intestinal cells this metal. Here, we investigated food supplemented EPS-AN8 protect rats hazardous effects Cd exposure. After thirty days exposure lower (5 ppm) higher (50 ppm)-Cd doses, administration...
While the effect of gut microbiota and/or inflammation on a distant body site, including lungs (gut-lung axis), has been well characterized, data about influence lung and homeostasis (lung-gut axis) are scarce. Using well-characterized model pulmonary infection with fungus Aspergillus fumigatus, we investigated alterations in by next-generation sequencing V3-V4 regions total bacterial DNA. Pulmonary due to A. fumigatus caused dysbiosis both gut, but different characteristics. increased alpha...
Bosnian sudzuk is a dry fermented sausage produced in rural household near the town of Visoko central Bosnia and Herzegovina. This kind was manufactured only from beef spices traditional way without addition starter cultures. To identify lactic acid bacteria (LAB), total number 160 Lstrains were isolated five samples collected over 28 days fermentation. Preliminary identification by phenotypic tests 16S rDNA sequencing performed for all Lisolates. Identification traditionally at species...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system. The aim this work was to study probiotic effect ?-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-producer Lactobacillus brevis BGZLS10-17 on experimental encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal MS model. Clinical EAE symptoms were monitored in Dark Agouti (DA) rats treated with L. strain, or supernatant obtained from 48 h culture cultivated growth medium without GABA precursor monosodium glutamate (MSG). results revealed that oral...
The skin is a direct target of the air pollutant benzo[a]pyrene (BaP). While its carcinogenic qualities are well-studied, immunotoxicity BaP after dermal exposure less understood. This study examines immunomodulatory effects 10-day epicutaneous application, in environmentally/occupationally relevant doses, by analyzing ex vivo immune response (skin explant, epidermal cells and draining lymph node/DLN cell activity), alongside skin's reaction to sensitization with experimental hapten...
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are widely used in the food industry, especially production of fermented dairy products and meat. The most studied species among Lis Lactococcus lactis. L. lactis strains great importance such as yogurt, butter, fresh cheese some kind semi-hard cheese. Although acquired ?Generally Regarded As Safe? (GRAS) status, many investigations indicated that lactococci may act reservoirs antibiotic resistance genes, which could be transferred to other bacterial human...
Bacterial microbiota of the gastrointestinal tract is known to prevent invasion pathogenic microorganisms and regulate intestinal permeability, digestion, metabolism, immune response. It affects function, homeostasis, disease outcomes in extra-intestinal sites such as lungs. This review summarizes currently available knowledge regarding gut-lung axis. The association bacterial composition and/or dysbiosis gut with asthma, chronic obstructive lung disease, cystic fibrosis, recurrent...
