Although the beneficial capacities of probiotics are more and more substantiated, their effects clearly depend on the strains used and their mechanisms of action remain poorly understood. Recent evidences have highlighted the potential role of cell-wall components in the anti-inflammatory capacity of selected lactobacilli. In this addendum, we summarize our recent results concerning the role of peptidoglycan (PGN) and NOD2 signaling in the regulation of intestinal inflammation. We showed that the protective effect of Lactobacillus PGN is strain-specific and linked to the induction of diverse immune regulatory pathways. Moreover the beneficial effect of Lactobacillus PGN correlated with the release of a specific muropeptide sensed by NOD2. These findings allow for a better understanding of how probiotic lactobacilli exert their beneficial effect and will help guide for more successful strain selection.

Acrylamide (AA) and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), which are potentially carcinogenic to humans, are often produced during the hot processing of foods. This study first used a molecular docking model to simulate the binding behavior of four lactic acid bacteria peptidoglycans (PGNs) to AA/HMF, and the binding rate of LAB-based PGNs to AA/HMF was evaluated in vitro. In silico results show that interaction energy is the driving force responsible for the adsorption of LAB-derived PGNs to AA/HMF.

The survival of animals depends, among other things, on their ability to identify threats in their surrounding environment. Senses such as olfaction, vision and taste play an essential role in sampling their living environment, including microorganisms, some of which are potentially pathogenic. This study focuses on the mechanisms of detection of bacteria by the Drosophila gustatory system.

Periodontitis is an oral infectious disease caused by various pathogenic bacteria, such as . Although probiotics and their cellular components have demonstrated positive effects on periodontitis, the beneficial impact of peptidoglycan (PGN) from probiotic remains unclear. Therefore, our study sought to investigate the inhibitory effect of PGN isolated from (LrPGN) on -induced inflammatory responses.

Salivary peroxidase and myeloperoxidase are known to display antibacterial activity against oral microbes, and previous indications have pointed to the possibility that horseradish peroxidase (HRP) adsorbs onto the membrane of the major oral streptococci, and (). However, the mechanism of interaction between HRP and the bacterial cell wall component is unclear. Dental plaques containing salivary glycoproteins and extracellular microbial products are visualized with 'dental plaque disclosing agent', and are controlled within dental therapy.
