TL;DR: In this article , the authors explored the functional significance of these intratumor bacteria, primarily using a murine spontaneous breast-tumor model MMTV-PyMT, and found that depletion of intratumors significantly reduced lung metastasis without affecting primary tumor growth.

TL;DR: Results revealed that heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) gene expression had a positive correlation with H2O2 induction and showed the best antioxidant capacity though modulating Nrf2 phosphorylation, resulting in decreased apoptosis and necrosis in IPEC-1.

TL;DR: Ba-induced autophagy was found to play a role in the elimination of intracellular bacteria when RAW264.7 cells were challenged with E. coli, indicating a protective role for probiotics via modulating macrophage immunity and highlighting a novel mechanism underlying the antibacterial activity of probiotics.

TL;DR: Results indicate that replacing aureomycin with Ba can improve growth performance and antioxidant status of piglets via increasing antioxidant capacity and intestinal autophagy, suggesting a good potential for Ba as an alternative to antibiotics in feed.

TL;DR: Findings suggest that oral administration of E. faecium EF1 to new-born piglets could improve the growth performance and intestinal microbiota of piglets for both suckling and weaning periods.
