BACKGROUND Competition of probiotic bacteria with other species from the intestinal microbiota involves different mechanisms that occur regardless of probiotics' viability. The objective of this paper was to assess the cytokine serum levels in holoxenic mice after oral administration of non-viable components (NVC) of Enterococcus faecium probiotic culture stimulated with heat-inactivated Escher...

In this study, dehydrated strawberries have been proposed as probiotic carriers. Strawberries were cut into halves, incorporated with Bacillus coagulans BC4 by two alternative methods (impregnation and alginate coating) submitted to drying (freeze - FD oven OD). Six treatments carried out, namely: OD (no probiotic), I-FD, I-OD, C-FD, C-OD (I- C- meaning impregnation coating respectively). While...

There is now increasing evidence that probiotic bacteria can provide health benefits to humans. In many areas of medicine (gastroenterology, urology, allergology, oncology and others), these sanative microorganisms may be considered as possible and viable alternatives applicable to patient care. Particularly, we have found that oral administration of Bacillus oligonitrophilus KU-1 cells can be ...

Objective: This study aims to examine the role of a probiotic bacterium, Bacillus clausii, on oxidative stress in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) rat model. Materials and Methods: The rats were divided into four groups: Control group, LPS group (1.5 mg/kg, LPS), Probiotic+LPS which was given after administration clausii as for 21 days, Probiotic group. kidneys removed...

Probiotics are identified as “Live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host” [1]. Although different microorganisms are claimed today as probiotics, usually they represent two main genera Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. Other probiotic bacteria have received limited attention of researchers. Among them are Bacillus bacteria highly diverse...

A new composite sorbent based on carbonized rice husk (CRH) and immobilized on it living cells and inactivated cultural liquid containing antimicrobials metabolites of Bacillus subtilis CK-245 is developed. The sorption and antimicrobic activity of CRH concerning five species of Enterobacteriaceae is studied. Prospects of use of developed sorbent in medicine and veterinary science is shown. Key...

Oral probiotics containing spores of Bacillus clausii are given to the patients who have undergone major surgery or on long term antibiotic course, restore intestinal microbial flora. We reporting a rare case where oral probiotic suspension was injected intravenously by mistake. shall be discussing in detail reactionary changes caused erroneous injection body, its effects, complications and tre...
