AI Article Synopsis
- Researchers studied a new probiotic strain called PSCT3-7, isolated from pigs that consumed a high-fiber diet with sawdust.
- This strain showed the ability to survive in various pH levels and bile salts and effectively inhibited the growth of harmful bacteria like Typhimurium.
- Vermiculite was found to enhance the strain's tolerance to bile and showed strong adsorption of PSCT3-7, suggesting it could be a beneficial probiotic option for swine.
Article Abstract
The probiotic properties of () PSCT3-7, a new strain isolated from the intestines of pigs fed dietary fiber containing 50% sawdust, were investigated. PSCT3-7 tolerated a pH range of 3 to 8 and 0.3% bile salts, and it inhibited the growth of Typhimurium in a concentration-dependent manner. In addition, showed resistance to several antibacterial agents. Vermiculite, a nutrient and microbial carrier, increased the bile tolerance of the strain. Scanning electron microscope images revealed good adsorption of PSCT3-7 onto vermiculite. PSCT3-7 represents a potential probiotic candidate to administer with vermiculite to swine.

As an extraordinarily diverse group of bacteria, lactobacilli are now classified into several genera, many of which still include "Lactobacillus" in their names. Despite their names, this group of lactic acid bacteria comprises microorganisms that are crucial for human health, especially during the early development of the human microbiota and immune system. The interactions between lactobacilli and components of the mucosal immunity lead to its shaping and development, which is possibly considered a prime mover in the advancement of the human immune system.
