This study aimed to isolate lactic acid bacteria from monkey faeces and evaluate their safety and probiotic properties through a combination of in vitro assays and complete genomic sequencing. The results revealed that two strains (LDHa and LSHe) exhibited promising probiotic attributes: no hemolytic activity, remarkable antibacterial activity against intestinal pathogens, high bile salt tolerance (77.46% survival rate for LDHa at 0.

This study aimed to isolate and characterize a lytic phage targeting multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa and evaluate its therapeutic efficacy in a canine pyoderma model.

Probiotics are currently widely used to treat intestinal inflammation; however, different strains are specific, and the functions and effects of different strains are still unclear. In this study, Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus G7 isolated from herdsmen yogurt was used.

Although antibiotic treatment can eliminate the pathogenic microorganisms that induce mastitis, it cannot repair the inflammatory damage of mammary epithelial cells and blood milk barrier. Mas1 is a G protein-coupled receptor, and its role in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) -induced inflammatory injury to mammary epithelial cells has not been studied.

Due to the specificity of the strains, the function and mechanism of action of different strains are still unclear.
