Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a gastrointestinal disease. The link between gut microbiota and the inflammatory response in the gut has been recently established. Restoration of gut microbiota suppresses inflammatory signaling. Kuijieling (KJL) decoction, an experimental Chinese medicine formula could ameliorate the symptom of colitis. However, the involvement of gut microbiota in its curative effect remains known. Here, we would like to assess the therapeutic effect of KJL in DSS-induced UC model. Mouse feces were collected, followed by 16S rRNA sequencing. Kuijieling decoction improved gut microbial homeostasis and suppressed inflammation in the UC model. A 5-fold cross-validation and random forest analysis identified seven signature bacterial taxa representing the DSS-mediated pathogenic condition and recovery stage upon KJL decoction treatment. Overall, the findings support the notion of KJL decoction-mediated restoration of gut microbiota as a critical step of inducing remission and alleviating UC symptoms. In the present investigation, we aimed to address the question of whether KJL decoction alleviates the UC symptoms by manipulating the gut microbial structure and function.

Effects of immersion bathing in Lactobacillus plantarum CLY-05 on the growth performance, non-specific immune enzyme activities and gut microbiota of Apostichopus japonicus.

In order to study the optimal use of Lactobacillus plantarum in sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus), 49 days feeding trial was conducted to determine the influence of immersion bathing in different concentrations of Lactobacillus plantarum CLY-05 on body weight gain rate and non-specific immune activities. The potential effect of CLY-05 on gut microbiota was also analyzed during the immersion bathing at the optimum concentration. The results showed that the body weight growth rate of all bathing groups was higher than that of control.

Background: Exposure of critically ill patients to antibiotics lead to intestinal dysbiosis, which often manifests as antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Faecal microbiota transplantation restores gut microbiota and may lead to faster resolution of diarrhoea.
Methods: Into this prospective, multi-centre, randomized controlled trial we will enrol 36 critically ill patients with antibiotic-associated diarrhoea.

The widespread utilization of antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) boosts the growth rate of food animals and enhances human living standards. Nevertheless, it is accompanied by escalating antibiotic resistance. Consequently, there is an urgent demand to develop novel alternatives to growth promoters.

The Eurasian griffon vulture (), a widely distributed scavenger, plays a crucial role in ecosystem health by consuming decomposing carcasses. Scavengers have adapted to avoid disease from the rotting carrion they feed on, probably through a specialized gut microbiome. This study aimed to characterize the gut microbiome of (n = 8) present in two rehabilitation centers in mainland Portugal and evaluate their potential as reservoirs of pathogens.

Larvae Meal (HILM) has been observed to enhance growth performance and immune function, yet the effects and mechanisms in geese remain less understood. Experiment I included 64 Sichuan White Geese to investigate the optimal additive amount of HILM in diet, and experiment II included 32 Sichuan White Geese to access serum immunoglobulin, spleen immune-related genes, intestinal morphology and gut microbiota at the optimal additive amount of HILM. The results showed that the addition of 1% HILM significantly increased the ADG of Sichuan White Geese ( < 0.
