Article Synopsis
  • The pathogen can damage endothelial barriers in piglets, but its inflammatory mechanism is not yet understood.
  • Baicalin, known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, was tested to see if it could alleviate this damage in porcine vascular endothelial cells.
  • The study found that baicalin inhibited expression of certain proteins and reduced the release of various nucleosides, indicating its potential as a target for treating inflammation-related diseases.

Article Synopsis
  • The gut microbiome plays a vital role in maintaining host health, but excessive antibiotic use can disrupt this balance and lead to health issues.
  • This study investigates how the broad-spectrum antibiotic colistin affects the microbiome in various gastrointestinal regions of piglets using advanced metagenome analyses.
  • Findings show that colistin significantly alters the composition of gut microbiota, increasing certain bacterial abundances while decreasing others, which has implications for animal health and potential effects on human public health.

Baicalin-aluminum regulates the gut microbiome of piglets with diarrhea. However, whether it affects poultry gut microbiome composition and function remains unknown. In this study, we used metagenomic sequencing to explore the effects of baicalin-aluminum on gut microbiome changes in poultry when compared with animals administered colistin sulfate.
