Water pollution, cholera, and the role of probiotics: a comprehensive review in relation to public health in Bangladesh.

Cholera, a disease caused by , remains a pervasive public health threat, particularly in regions with inadequate water sanitation and hygiene infrastructure, such as Bangladesh. This review explores the complex interplay between water pollution and cholera transmission in Bangladesh, highlighting how contaminated water bodies serve as reservoirs for . A key focus is the potential role of probiotics as a novel intervention approach for cholera prevention and management.

Osteogenic CpG Oligodeoxynucleotide, iSN40, Inhibits Osteoclastogenesis in a TLR9-Dependent Manner.

A CpG oligodeoxynucleotide (CpG-ODN), iSN40, was originally identified as promoting the mineralization and differentiation of osteoblasts, independent of Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9). Since CpG ODNs are often recognized by TLR9 and inhibit osteoclastogenesis, this study investigated the TLR9 dependence and anti-osteoclastogenic effect of iSN40 to validate its potential as an osteoporosis drug. The murine monocyte/macrophage cell line RAW264.

Oral administration of C37 inhibits colonization in chicks.

As the global population continues to grow, so too does the demand for poultry meat. However, the concurrent increase in the prevalence of drug-resistant bacteria has stimulated interest in the search for alternatives to antibiotics in poultry and livestock agriculture. One potential strategy is the use of probiotics.

produced by double saccharification contains more isomaltose and modifies the gut microbiota in mice.

which is made from rice and rice (a product of ), is a traditional Japanese beverage that has glucose as its main component. It also contains isomaltose, which has been reported to have various functionalities related to gut health. In the present study, we attempted to produce with a higher concentration of isomaltose without using any additives by focusing on the saccharification step of rice production as a means of creating new value for Two types of rice that were obtained at different fermentation time points were used, and we changed the saccharification process from the usual one step of saccharification to two steps of saccharification using a different type of for each step.

Development of engineered IL-36γ-hypersecreting Lactococcus lactis to improve the intestinal environment.

Interleukin (IL) 36 is a member of the IL-1-like proinflammatory cytokine family that has a protective role in mucosal immunity. We hypothesized that mucosal delivery of IL-36γ to the intestine would be a very effective way to prevent intestinal diseases. Here, we genetically engineered a lactic acid bacterium, Lactococcus lactis, to produce recombinant mouse IL-36γ (rmIL-36γ).
