Gut microbiota-derived isovaleric acid ameliorates influenza virus infection via gut-lung axis.

H9N2 influenza virus infections represent a significant respiratory health concern, yet the functional role of gut microbiota during infection progression remains poorly understood. Here, we show that H9N2 infection causes dose-dependent alterations in gut microbial communities in a mammalian infection model, particularly the depletion of Prevotella species. Prophylactic administration of Prevotella copri improved survival and clinical outcomes in infected mice by restructuring the gut microbiome, promoting beneficial bacteria, and suppressing pathogens.

Faecalibacterium prausnitzii-derived outer membrane vesicles reprogram gut microbiota metabolism to alleviate Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus infection.

Background: The Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV) is one of the major challenges facing the global pig farming industry, and vaccines and treatments have proven difficult in controlling its spread. Faecalibacterium prausnitzii (F.prausnitzii), a key commensal bacterium in the gut, has been recognized as a promising candidate for next-generation probiotics due to its potential wide-ranging health benefits.

Expressing Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV) Single-Chain Antibody Can Inhibit PRRSV Replication and Change the Intestinal Flora Structure of Piglets.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is an infectious disease that can cause reproductive disorders in sows and affect the breathing of piglets, seriously endangering pig breeding worldwide. In this study, NC8 was used as the expression delivery vector of foreign proteins, and a single-chain antibody was designed based on an mAb-PN9cx3 sequence. Three recombinant strains of , namely, NC8/pSIP409-pgsA'-PN9cx3-scFV(E), NC8/pSIP409-pgsA'-PN9cx3-HC(E), and NC8/pSIP409-pgsA'-PN9cx3-LC(E), were successfully constructed.

Inhibitory Effect of and on Citrobacter Colitis in Mice.

Probiotics are beneficial for intestinal diseases. Research shows that probiotics can regulate intestinal microbiota and alleviate inflammation. Little research has been done on the effects of probiotics on colitis in mice.

The Acetic Acid Produced by Lactobacillus Species Regulates Immune Function to Alleviate PEDV Infection in Piglets.

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) infection results in significant mortality among newborn piglets, leading to substantial economic setbacks in the pig industry. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), the metabolites of intestinal probiotics, play pivotal roles in modulating intestinal function, enhancing the intestinal barrier, and bolstering immune responses through diverse mechanisms. The protective potential of Lactobacillus delbrueckii, Lactobacillus johnsonii, and Lactococcus lactis was first noted when administered to PEDV-infected piglets.

SW207 alleviates enterotoxigenic -induced inflammatory responses in weaned piglets by modulating the intestinal epithelial barrier, the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway, and intestinal microbiota.

Enterotoxigenic (ETEC) is one of the major pathogens contributing to piglet diarrhea, with significant implications for both piglet health and the economic aspects of the livestock industry. SW207 is an isolate of isolated from the cold- and disease-resistant Leixiang pigs in Northeastern China. We have discovered that SW207 can survive in the pig's gastrointestinal fluid and under conditions of high bile salt concentration, displaying potent antagonistic activity against ETEC.

Gut microbiota-derived LCA mediates the protective effect of PEDV infection in piglets.

Background: The gut microbiota is a critical factor in the regulation of host health, but the relationship between the differential resistance of hosts to pathogens and the interaction of gut microbes is not yet clear. Herein, we investigated the potential correlation between the gut microbiota of piglets and their disease resistance using single-cell transcriptomics, 16S amplicon sequencing, metagenomics, and untargeted metabolomics.

Results: Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) infection leads to significant changes in the gut microbiota of piglets.

Treatment of pregnant mice with ABZ had no effect on the immune response of their offspring infected with Trichinella spiralis.

Trichinellosis is a food-borne parasitic disease with a worldwide distribution that not only endangers human health but also leads to economic loss. Infection of pregnant animals with Trichinella spiralis (T. spiralis) may lead to abortion and other adverse consequences, so it is necessary to treat the infection during pregnancy.

Antiviral effects of Pediococcus acidilactici isolated from Tibetan mushroom and comparative genomic analysis.

Rotavirus is one of the main pathogens that cause diarrhoea in young animals, and countless animals have died of rotavirus infection worldwide. Three strains of lactic acid bacteria isolated from Tibetan mushrooms were used to study the inhibition of rotavirus and . One part was to identify and study the biochemical and probiotic characteristics of three isolated lactic acid bacteria, and the other part was to evaluate the inhibitory effect on rotavirus and experiments.

African swine fever virus MGF505-7R protein interacted with IRF7and TBK1 to inhibit type I interferon production.

African swine fever virus (ASFV) employs diverse strategies to confront or evade host type I interferon (IFN-I)-induced antiviral responses. Moreover, the mechanisms of this process are largely unknown. Here, we assessed 27 ASFV proteins to determine whether any of them suppressed the cGAS-STING pathway to facilitate immune evasion.

0111 Protects Against Influenza Virus by Modulating Intestinal Microbial-Mediated Immune Responses.

There are some limitations of traditional influenza vaccines concerning novel mutant strains. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop preventive means for antigen-unrelated types of influenza viruses. Recent studies have shown that probiotics can modulate the immune system and reduce the severity of viral infections.

Surface-Displayed ASFV (p14.5) Can Stimulate Immune Responses in Mice.

African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV) has spread worldwide, and the lack of vaccines severely negatively impacts the pig industry. In this study, the p14.5 protein encoded by ASFV was used as the antigen, and the p14.

African swine fever virus MGF360-11L negatively regulates cGAS-STING-mediated inhibition of type I interferon production.

The type I interferon (IFN-I) signaling pathway is an important part of the innate immune response and plays a vital role in controlling and eliminating pathogens. African swine fever virus (ASFV) encodes various proteins to evade the host's natural immunity. However, the molecular mechanism by which the ASFV-encoded proteins inhibit interferon production remains poorly understood.

Lactobacillus plantarum surface-displayed ASFV (p54) with porcine IL-21 generally stimulates protective immune responses in mice.

African classical swine fever virus (ASFV) has spread seriously around the world and has dealt with a heavy blow to the pig breeding industry due to the lack of vaccines. In this study, we produced recombinant Lactobacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) expressing an ASFV p54 and porcine IL-21 (pIL-21) fusion protein and evaluated the immune effect of NC8-pSIP409-pgsA'-p54-pIL-21 in a mouse model.

Protective effects of a food-grade recombinant Lactobacillus plantarum with surface displayed AMA1 and EtMIC2 proteins of Eimeria tenella in broiler chickens.

Background: Avian coccidiosis posts a severe threat to poultry production. In addition to commercial attenuated vaccines, other strategies to combat coccidiosis are urgently needed. Lactobacillus plantarum has been frequently used for expression of foreign proteins as an oral vaccine delivery system using traditional erythromycin resistance gene (erm).
