Assessment of the Effects of the Synbiotic Combination of subsp. CECT 7210 and Oligofructose-Enriched Inulin Against Digestive Bacterial Infections in a Piglet Model.

The use of bifidobacteria as probiotics has proven to be beneficial in gastroenteric infections. Furthermore, prebiotics such as inulin can enhance the survival and growth of these bacteria. Two trials were performed to evaluate the effects of the administration of subsp.

Effects of the Administration of subsp. CECT 7210 and HN001 and Their Synbiotic Combination With Galacto-Oligosaccharides Against Enterotoxigenic F4 in an Early Weaned Piglet Model.

We evaluated the potential of multi-strain probiotic ( subsp. CECT 7210 and HN001) with or without galacto-oligosaccharides against enterotoxigenic (ETEC) F4 infection in post-weaning pigs. Ninety-six piglets were distributed into 32 pens assigned to five treatments: one non-challenged (CTR+) and four challenged: control diet (CTR-), with probiotics (>3 × 10 CFU/kg body weight each, PRO), prebiotic (5%, PRE), or their combination (SYN).

Effects of Subsp. CECT 7210 and HN001, Combined or Not With Oligofructose-Enriched Inulin, on Weaned Pigs Orally Challenged With Typhimurium.

is a common causative agent of enteric disease and is developing mechanisms of resistance to antimicrobials. Probiotics, such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, and prebiotic fibers are a potential alternative to counteract this pathogen as they have demonstrated effectiveness in preventing its adhesion, reducing intestinal damage, and enhancing the host immune system. Furthermore, the benefits are expected to be potentiated when these compounds are administered together.

The Probiotic Combination of subsp. CECT 7210 and subsp. BPL6 Reduces Pathogen Loads and Improves Gut Health of Weaned Piglets Orally Challenged with Typhimurium.

Probiotics have been demonstrated to be useful to enhance gut health and prevent gastrointestinal infections in humans. Additionally, some multi-strain probiotic combinations have been suggested to have greater efficacy than single strains. The objective of this study is to demonstrate the potential of a combination of the probiotic strains: subsp.
