Correlation between in vitro and in vivo immunomodulatory properties of lactic acid bacteria

TLDR
Results show that the in vivo protective capacity of the studied lactic acid bacteria (LAB) could be predicted based on the cytokine profile established in vitro, and the PBMC-based assay used may serve as a useful primary indicator to narrow down the number of candidate strains to be tested in murine models for their anti-inflammatory potential.

The gut microbiota shapes intestinal immune responses during health and disease

TL;DR: Findings indicating that developmental aspects of the adaptive immune system are influenced by bacterial colonization of the gut are discussed, and the possibility that the mammalian immune system, which seems to be designed to control microorganisms, is in fact controlled by microorganisms is raised.

Emerging molecular insights into the interaction between probiotics and the host intestinal mucosa

TL;DR: Genomic approaches and nutrigenomic analyses have identified several bacterial factors that are involved in modulation of the immune system and the mucosal barrier, and have revealed that a molecular 'bandwidth of human health' could represent a key determinant in an individual's physiological responsiveness to probiotics.

Probiotics and immunity

TL;DR: Promising results have been obtained with probiotics in the treatment of human inflammatory diseases of the intestine and in the prevention and treatment of atopic eczema in neonates and infants, however, the findings are too variable to allow firm conclusions as to the effectiveness of specific Probiotics in these conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of intestinal microbiota and metabolites on gut homeostasis and human diseases

TL;DR: A better understanding of the mutual interactions of the microbiota and host immune system, would shed light on the endeavors of disease prevention and broaden the path to the discovery of immune intervention targets for disease treatment.

Plasmid complements of Streptococcus lactis NCDO 712 and other lactic streptococci after protoplast-induced curing.

TL;DR: Curing of cryptic molecules from multiple plasmid complements by protoplast regeneration may prove to be generally valuable in lactic streptococci and other gram-positive species.

Antagonistic activities of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria against microbial pathogens

TL;DR: There is increasing evidence that lactobacilli and bifidobacteria, which inhabit the gastrointestinal microbiota, develop antimicrobial activities that participate in the host's gastrointestinal system of defence.

Maintaining remission of ulcerative colitis with the probiotic Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 is as effective as with standard mesalazine

TL;DR: The probiotic drug E coli Nissle 1917 shows efficacy and safety in maintaining remission equivalent to the gold standard mesalazine in patients with ulcerative colitis, which underlines the pathogenetic significance of the enteric flora.

Prophylaxis of pouchitis onset with probiotic therapy: a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial

TL;DR: Treatment with VSL#3 is effective in the prevention of the onset of acute pouchitis and improves quality of life of patients with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis.

Lactobacilli Differentially Modulate Expression of Cytokines and Maturation Surface Markers in Murine Dendritic Cells

TL;DR: The results suggest that different species of Lactobacillus exert very different DC activation patterns and, furthermore, at least one species may be capable of inhibiting activities of other species in the genus.
