AB  - In last two decades, there has been a strong trend in the application of lactic acid bacteria as adjunctive cultures to control growth of spoilage and pathogenic bacteria in food. One of the most important properties that contribute to the application of these bacteria is the production of antimicrobial molecules. Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis BGBU1-4, isolated from traditional brined cheese, produces thermostable bacteriocin named lactolisterin BU, with broad spectrum of activity against spoilage bacteria and foodborne pathogens. In this study, effect of strain BGBU1-4, as adjunct culture, on the numbers of Listeria monocytogenes ATCC19111 and Staphylococcus aureus LMM322 in artificially contaminated Quark-type, soft acid coagulated cheese, was examined. In addition, we analyzed influence of BGBU1-4 on chemical and sensory properties of the cheese, as well as immunological response of Albino oxford rats fed with Quark-type of cheese made using BGBU1-4 as adjunct culture. Results of this study revealed antibacterial potential of strain BGBU1-4 against L. monocytogenes ATCC19111 and S. aureus LMM322 in Quark-type cheese during 21 days of storage at 4 °C. Also, it was noticed the ability of BGBU1-4 to control the spontaneously grown yeasts and molds. Chemical composition and pH values of cheese containing BGBU1-4 were unchanged in comparison to control. The sensory quality scores showed that there was difference between cheese with and without adjunct culture in terms of flavor and oral texture, while for the odor and appearance no differences between two cheese variants were scored. Results of the immunological response of Albino rats fed with Quark-type cheese containing BGBU1-4 indicate absence of systematic inflammation. However, increased pro-inflammatory cytokines content (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17) in intestine of rats fed with cheese containing BGBU1-4, concomitantly with unchanged anti-inflammatory cytokines suggests disruption of gut homeostasis and inflammation in this tissue. The changes caused by BGBU1-4 are reversible, system returns into homeostasis seven days after cessation of feeding with cheese containing BGBU1-4.

AB  - Gut microbiota dysbiosis has been considered the essential element in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis and its animal model, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Antibiotics were administered orally to Dark Agouti (DA) rats early in their life with the aim of perturbing gut microbiota and investigating the effects of such intervention on the course of EAE. As a result, the diversity of the gut microbiota was reduced under the influence of antibiotics. Mainly, Firmicutes and Actinobacteria were replaced by Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes, while decreased proportions of Clostridia and Bacilli classes were accompanied by an increase in Gamma-Proteobacteria in antibiotic-treated animals. Interestingly, a notable decrease in the Helicobacteraceae, Spirochaetaceae and Turicibacteriaceae was scored in antibiotic-treated groups. Also, levels of short chain fatty acids were reduced in the faeces of antibiotic-treated rats. Consequently, aggravation of EAE, paralleled with stronger immune response in lymph nodes draining the site of immunization, and increased inflammation within the CNS, were observed in antibiotic-treated DA rats. Thus, the alteration of gut microbiota leads to an escalation of CNS-directed autoimmunity in DA rats. The results of this study indicate that antibiotic use in early life may have subsequent unfavourable effects on the regulation of the immune system.

AB  - Objective: Clinical reports indicated increased incidence of gastrointestinal (GI) disturbances and dysbiosis in children with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) as well as acceleration of the recovery after the dysbiosis treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate gut microbiota diversity and to identify bacterial strains which incidences were different between patients’ and control group. This is the first study evaluating gut microbiota diversity and composition in children with NDD.
Conclusions: Our study reveals that the intestinal microbiota from children with NDDs differs from the microbiota of healthy children. Similarity of microbiota composition in patient groups with similar neurological and behavioral symptoms indicate that intestinal microbiota might have role in pathophysiology of NDD. Supplementation with several health promoting strains, could be safe adjuvant therapy in treatment of NDD accompanied with GI disturbances.

AB  - Microbiota inhabiting mucosal tissues is involved in maintenance of their immune homeostasis. Growing body of evidence indicate that dysbiosis in gut influence immune responses at distal sites including lungs. There are also reports concerning gut involvement with pulmonary injury/inflammation in settings of respiratory viral and bacterial infections. The impact of infections with other microorganisms on gut homeostasis is not explored. In this study, the rat model of sublethal pulmonary infection with Aspergillus fumigatus was used to investigate the effect of fungal respiratory infection on gut immune-mediated homeostasis. Signs of intestinal damage, intestinal and gut-draining lymphoid tissue cytokine responses and gut bacterial microbiota diversity were examined. Intestinal injury, inflammatory cell infiltration, as well as increased levels of intestinal interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and interleukin-17 (IL-17) (as opposed to unchanged levels of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10) during the two-week period depict intestinal inflammation in rats with pulmonary A. fumigatus infection. It could not be ascribed to the fungus as it was not detected in the intestine of infected rats. Increased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines by major gut-draining mesenteric lymph nodes point to these lymphoid organs as places of generation of cytokine-producing cells. No changes in spleen or systemic cytokine responses was observed, showing lack of the effects of pulmonary A. fumigatus infection outside mucosal immune system. Drop of intestinal bacterial microbiota diversity (disappearance of several bacterial bands) was noted early in infection with normalization starting from day seven. From day three, appearance of new bacterial bands (unique to infected individuals, not present in controls) was seen, and some of them are pathogens. Alterations in intestinal bacterial community might have affected intestinal immune tolerance contributing to inflammation. Disruption of gut homeostasis during pulmonary infection might render gastrointestinal tract more susceptible to variety of physiological and pathological stimuli. Data which showed for the first time gut involvement with pulmonary infection with A. fumigatus provide the baseline for future studies of the impact of fungal lung infections to gut homeostasis, particularly in individuals susceptible to these infections.

AB  - Albino Oxford (AO) rats are extremely resistant to induction of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). EAE is an animal model of multiple sclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS), with established autoimmune pathogenesis. The autoimmune response against the antigens of the CNS is initiated in the peripheral lymphoid tissues after immunization of AO rats with CNS antigens. Subsequently, limited infiltration of the CNS occurs, yet without clinical sequels. It has recently become increasingly appreciated that gut-associated lymphoid tissues (GALT) and gut microbiota play an important role in regulation and propagation of encephalitogenic immune response. Therefore, modulation of AO gut microbiota by antibiotics was performed in this study. The treatment altered composition of gut microbiota in AO rats and led to a reduction in the proportion of regulatory T cells in Peyer's patches, mesenteric lymph nodes, and in lymph nodes draining the site of immunization. Upregulation of interferon-γ and interleukin (IL)-17 production was observed in the draining lymph nodes. The treatment led to clinically manifested EAE in AO rats with more numerous infiltrates and higher production of IL-17 observed in the CNS. Importantly, transfer of AO gut microbiota into EAE-prone Dark Agouti rats ameliorated the disease. These results clearly imply that gut microbiota is an important factor in AO rat resistance to EAE and that gut microbiota transfer is an efficacious way to treat CNS autoimmunity. These findings also support the idea that gut microbiota modulation has a potential as a future treatment of multiple sclerosis.

AB  - Multiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS). It is widely accepted that autoimmune response against the antigens of the CNS is the essential pathogenic force in the disease. It has recently become increasingly appreciated that activated encephalitogenic cells tend to migrate toward gut associated lymphoid tissues (GALTs) and that interrupted balance between regulatory and inflammatory immunity within the GALT might have decisive role in the initiation and propagation of the CNS autoimmunity. Gut microbiota composition and function has the major impact on the balance in the GALT. Thus, our aim was to perform analyses of gut microbiota in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal model of multiple sclerosis. Albino Oxford (AO) rats that are highly resistant to EAE induction and Dark Agouti (DA) rats that develop EAE after mild immunization were compared for gut microbiota composition in different phases after EAE induction. Microbial analyses of the genus Lactobacillus and related lactic acid bacteria showed higher diversity of Lactobacillus spp. in EAE-resistant AO rats, while some members of Firmicutes and Proteobacteria (Undibacterium oligocarboniphilum) were detected only in feces of DA rats at the peak of the disease (between 13 and 16 days after induction). Interestingly, in contrast to our previous study where Turicibacter sp. was found exclusively in non-immunized AO, but not in DA rats, in this study it was detected in DA rats that remained healthy 16 days after induction, as well as in four of 12 DA rats at the peak of the disease. Similar observation was obtained for the members of Lachnospiraceae. Further, production of a typical regulatory cytokine interleukin-10 was compared in GALT cells of AO and DA rats, and higher production was observed in DA rats. Our data contribute to the idea that gut microbiota and GALT considerably influence multiple sclerosis pathogenesis.
