A Gram-stain-positive, non-motile, butyrate-producing coccus was cultured from the distal ileum of swine. This organism was isolated on rumen-fluid medium, consumes acetate, and produces butyrate as its major end product when grown on mono- and di-saccharides. A phylogenetic analysis based on near full-length 16S rRNA gene sequences as well as whole-genome phylogenies suggests that this isolate is most closely related to species in the genus Butyricicoccus, with Butyricicoccus pullicaecorum being the closest named relative (93.5 % 16S similarity). The G+C content of this isolate is 54 mol%, and the major cellular fatty acids are C18 : 0 DMA, C14 : 0, C18 : 1ω9c and C16 : 0. These data indicate that this isolate represents a novel species within the genus Butyricicoccus, for which the name Butyricicoccus porcorum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Butyricicoccus porcorum is BB10 (ATCC TSD-102, DSM 104997).

Article Synopsis
- Coccidiosis is an intestinal disease in poultry caused by protozoa, significantly impacting animal health and causing economic losses in the poultry industry.
- The study utilized metagenomic and transcriptome sequencing to analyze the gut microbiota and gene expression in infected and control chickens, revealing significant changes in microbial composition and gene regulation post-infection.
- Results showed a decrease in certain microbial species and identified 434 differentially expressed genes related to immunity, providing insight into how gut microbiome and host gene expression interact during coccidia infection.

Accumulating evidence suggests that gut dysbiosis may play a role in cardiovascular problems like coronary artery disease (CAD). Thus, target steering the gut microbiota/metabolome via probiotic administration could be a promising way to protect against CAD. A 6-month randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted to investigate the added benefits and mechanism of the probiotic strain, Bifidobacterium lactis Probio-M8, in alleviating CAD when given together with a conventional regimen.

Piglets are often weaned between 19 and 22 days of age in North America, although in some swine operations this may occur at 14 days or less. Piglets are abruptly separated from their sow at weaning and are quickly transitioned from sow's milk to a plant-based diet. The effect of weaning age on the long-term development of the pig gut microbiome is largely unknown.
