Can Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus CRL1505 postbiotic improve emergency myelopoiesis in immunocompromised mice?

We evaluated whether viable and non-viable Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus CRL1505 (Lr05V or Lr05NV, respectively) was able to improve emergency myelopoiesis induced by Streptococcus pneumoniae (Sp) infection. Adult Swiss-mice were orally treated with Lr05V or Lr05NV during five consecutive days. The Lr05V and Lr05NV groups and untreated control group received an intraperitoneal dose of cyclophosphamide (Cy-150 mg/kg).

CRL1505 Peptidoglycan Modulates the Inflammation-Coagulation Response Triggered by Poly(I:C) in the Respiratory Tract.

CRL1505 beneficially modulates the inflammation-coagulation response during respiratory viral infections. This study evaluated the capacity of the peptidoglycan obtained from the CRL1505 strain (PG-Lr1505) to modulate the immuno-coagulative response triggered by the viral pathogen-associated molecular pattern poly(I:C) in the respiratory tract. Adult BALB/c mice were nasally treated with PG-Lr1505 for two days.

Post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression symptoms in healthcare workers during COVID-19 pandemic in Colombia.

Background: Mental health outcomes in healthcare workers (HCWs) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have been poorly explored during COVID-19 pandemic. Our aim was to carry out a cross-sectional study of the prevalence of mental health symptoms in HCWs in Colombia.

Methods: A cross-sectional web-survey study was performed during the COVID-19 pandemic mid-2021 including HCWs in two hospitals in Colombia.

Effect of culture parameters on the heat tolerance and inorganic polyphosphate accumulation by Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus CRL1505, a multifunctional bacterium.

Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus CRL1505 can be used in functional products as a probiotic powder (dried live cells) or as a postbiotic intracellular extract containing inorganic polyphosphate as a functional biopolymer. Thus, the aim of this work was to optimize the production of Lr-CRL1505 depending on the target of the functional product (probiotic or postbiotic). For this purpose, the effect of culture parameters (pH, growth phase) on cell viability, heat tolerance and polyphosphate accumulation by Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus CRL1505 was evaluated.

Prevalence and associated factors of mental health outcomes among healthcare workers in Northern Colombia: A cross-sectional and multi-centre study.

Background: Mental health outcomes in Healthcare Workers (HCWs) has been few evaluated during COVID-19 pandemic in low-and middle-income countries. Our aim was carry-out a study to identify the prevalence of stress, anxiety, depressive symptoms in HCWs and associated factors to severe illness in a northern region in Colombia.

Method: A cross-sectional, hospital-based survey was conducted to assess mental health outcomes in 1,149 HCWs in Colombia.
