TL;DR: Although a wide variation in the ability of the eight strains to deplete cholesterol and nitrite, antagonize pathogens, scavenge free radical, and stimulate innate immune response were observed, the strains CICC 23174 and CGMCC 1.557 exhibited the best probiotic properties with the potential for use in the production of probiotic fermented foods.

TL;DR: The tested lactobacilli strains are appropriate for preventing inflammatory diseases caused by enteric pathogens but not for therapy, and are potential candidates for the development of microbial ecological agents and functional foods.

TL;DR: It is suggested that these two Lactobacillus strains have beneficial effects on regulation of immune responses, which has promising implications for the development of ecological agents and functional foods.

TL;DR: Results show that, upon challenge, the vaccine group can induce a strong immune response in the body, represented by increased expression of IFN-γ, slow and steady elevated antibody production, reduced peak value of acute viral load, and increase in the average CD4/CD8 ratio.

TL;DR: Oral administration of the Streptococcus lactis L16 strain reduced the loss of body weight in mice post-infection and alleviated infection-induced hepatomegaly, indicating its therapeutic potential in overcoming antibiotic resistance in this mouse infection model that mimics infections observed in humans.
