Present study was carried out to evaluate a new bacterial strain, F22 as probiotic strain. F22 was isolated from a traditional inoculum called 'Phab' which is used for the preparation of a traditional beverage chhang of Lahaul and Spiti of Himachal Pradesh. The isolate was identified by conventional and molecular techniques and tested for different probiotic properties. The 16S rRNA sequence of the isolate was registered in National Centre for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) under accession number . Further, F22 was evaluated for its probiotic potential viz., autoaggregation capacity, hydrophobicity, acidity tolerance, antibiotic susceptibility and cumulative probiotic potential and was found to possess good probiotic potential with a cumulative probiotic score of 91.7%. F22 has been proved to be highly effective, therefore can be recommended for the development of new pharmaceuticals and functional food preparations.

Background: Tuberculosis remains an infectious disease of global concern, with potential impacts on respiratory and intestinal microbiota owing to prolonged broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy. Despite its potential to cause infertility, the vaginal microbiota of women with genital tuberculosis remains poorly understood. We comprehensively analyzed the vaginal microbiota in Chinese women with genital tuberculosis.

Depression is one of the most disabling mental disorders worldwide and characterized by symptoms including worthlessness, anhedonia, sleep, and appetite disturbances. Recently, studies have suggested that tryptophan (Trp) metabolism plays a key role in depressed mood through serotonin and kynurenine pathway involving enzyme tryptophan 5-monooxygenase (TPH) and indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) respectively. Moreover, during neuroinflammation, IDO is activated by proinflammatory cytokines and affects neurogenesis, cognition, disturbed hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, and gut homeostasis by altering the gut bacteria and its metabolites like Trp derivatives.

The probiotic encapsulation system has the potential to enhance the prebiotic effects of probiotics. However, challenges arise from the release behavior of this system in vivo and the large size of hydrogel beads. This study aims to address the issues related to the size of previous hydrogel beads and assess the colon-targeted delivery of probiotic polysaccharides composite hydrogel beads (PPHB).

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is considered as one of the most pressing public health challenges worldwide. Studies have shown significant differences in the gut microbiota between healthy individuals and T2DM patients, suggesting that gut microorganisms may play a key role in the onset and progression of T2DM. This review systematically summarizes the relationship between gut microbiota and T2DM, and explores the mechanisms through which gut microorganisms may alleviate T2DM.
