Probiotics are live microorganisms which have beneficial effects on the host when ingested in adequate amounts. Probiotic bacteria may stimulate immune effector functions a strain-specific manner. In this blind placebo-controlled trial, we investigated system following daily intake of six different strains lactobacilli or Gram-negative bacterium Pseudomonas lundensis for 2 5 weeks. Blood lymphocyte subsets were quantified by fluorescence activated cell sorter and expression activation memory...
Objective. To clarify the effect of Lactobacillus plantarum 299v on salivary cortisol and IgA levels in young adults under examination stress. Design. Forty-one students with an upcoming academic exam were included a randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled study. The probiotic bacteria or placebo product was administered capsules once day during 14 days. Saliva collected perceived stress test filled out at each sampling occasion. for analysis by Electrochemiluminescence Immunoassay...
Previous reports showed that nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) reside in macrophage-like cells human adenoid tissue. This study investigated the ability of nonopsonized NTHi and encapsulated H. type b (Hib) to enter monocytic epithelial cells. The number intracellular bacteria was determined by a viability assay flow cytometry. To characterize mechanisms responsible for internalization NTHi, different inhibitors surface molecules, receptor turnover, cytoskeleton were used. Hib found...
Eosinophils are a characteristic component of the inflammatory response seen in several diseases, including allergic asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. After activation, eosinophil-derived products may exert proinflammatory effects cause considerable tissue damage. In present study, we investigated innate interactions between respiratory tract pathogen nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) human eosinophils. Bacterial binding to eosinophils was dependent on...
Prebiotics, probiotics, or synbiotics can be used as means to regulate the microbiota exert preventative beneficial effects host. However, not much is known about effect of gut on hypertension which a major risk factor cardiovascular disease and also symptom metabolic syndrome.

Viral infections of the upper airways are most common cause for absence from work or school, and there is evidence probiotic efficacy in reducing incidence severity these infections.
Abstract Background The combination of Lactobacillus plantarum HEAL9 and paracasei 8700:2 (commercially available as Probi Defendum ® ) has previously been reported to reduce the incidence, duration severity naturally acquired common colds in adults. aim present study was evaluate impact on aspects cold healthy children 1–6 years age attending day care. Methods A total 131 children, out planned 320, were recruited into during 1 season randomised consume once daily either 10 9 CFU (colony...
Consumption of polyphenol-rich fruits and vegetables may improve postprandial glucose insulin levels hence promote well-being. Previously it has been observed that consumption bilberry decreases the demand. The intention with present study was to compare impact different supplements various polyphenol profiles, on responses in healthy young adults. In a randomized, controlled, crossover glycemic were eleven adults after intake five beverages containing (European blueberry), blackcurrant,...
Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) is a common cause of respiratory tract infections. This study investigated the ability NTHi to bind lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) derived from epithelial cells and subsequent stimulation transfected expressing membrane-bound CD14 toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) or TLR4. In absence LBP, at high concentrations (100 bacteria/epithelial cell) were required induce signals through TLR2 Flow cytometry showed that in stationary phase bound more LBP...
Non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae, which is a cause of disease in the upper and lower respiratory tract, can survive intracellularly human epithelial cells macrophages. We studied vitro activity five antibiotics against intracellular non-typeable H. influenzae type II alveolar cells. The eukaryotic were loaded with bacteria, extracellular bacteria killed by gentamicin. After washed, added at concentrations 0.12-64 mg/L for 18 h before numbers viable determined. Of tested, ciprofloxacin...
Abstract Obesity is a risk factor for cardio-metabolic and neurological disease. The contribution of gut microbiota to derangements the gut-brain axis in context obesity has been acknowledged, particularly through physiology modulation by short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Thus, probiotic interventions administration SCFAs have employed with purpose alleviating symptoms both metabolic We investigated effects four butyrate-producing bacteria from Lachnospiraceae family on development syndrome...

Faecal samples have often been used to characterise the gut microbiota in health and disease. There is significant debate whether faecal bacterial communities accurately reflect mucosa associated populations, which are considered critical aetiopathogenesis of several gastrointestinal diseases. We simultaneously assessed mucosal from healthy volunteers unravel degree concordance between two profiles. Paired fresh rectal biopsies were obtained ten processed under stringent anaerobic...
