In Italy, neurotoxigenic Clostridium butyricum has been reported as a new agent of intestinal toxemia botulism, and most of the cases have been associated with enterocolitis. Although infections concomitant with botulism must be treated with antibiotics, this can increase the severity of botulism. We discuss the sensitivity of this agent to certain antibiotics, compared to findings on the sensitivity of C. botulinum.

Purpose: Pouchitis is a major complication after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) for ulcerative colitis in children (UCc). In this study, we investigated whether the oral administration of Clostridium butyricum MIYAIRI 588 (CBM) can reduce the incidence of pouchitis after IPAA in UCc.
Methods: We reviewed the data for pediatric patients with UC, who underwent IPAA in Mie University Hospital between 2004 and 2022.

Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response syndrome of multiorgan failure caused by dysregulation of the host response to infection and is a major cause of death in critically ill patients. In recent years, with the continuous development of sequencing technology, the intestinal microecology of this disease has been increasingly studied. The gut microbiota plays a host-protective role mainly through the maintenance of normal immune function and the intestinal barrier.

Background: Biohydrogen production from agro-industrial wastes through dark fermentation offers several advantages including eco-friendliness, sustainability, and the simplicity of the process. This study aimed to produce biohydrogen from fruit and vegetable peel wastes (FVPWs) by anaerobic fermentative bacteria isolated from domestic wastewater. Kinetic analysis of the produced biohydrogen by five isolates on a glucose medium was analyzed using a modified Gompertz model (MGM).

Inhibiting indoleamine 2,3 dioxygenase (IDO) for anticancer therapy has garnered significant attention in recent years. However, current IDO inhibitors face significant challenges which limit their clinical application. Here, we genetically engineered a high tryptophan-expressing (L-Trp CB) strain that can colonize tumors strictly following systemic administration.

Gut microbiota plays an important role in regulating brain function and adult neurogenesis. Although probiotics have recently been reported as effective against certain psychiatric disorders, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In particular, the combination of 3 probiotic strains, Bacillus subtilis TO-A, Enterococcus faecium T-110, and Clostridium butyricum TO-A, hereafter referred to as ProB3, has been reported to potentially alleviate psychiatric symptoms in patients with schizophrenia.
