Background And Aim: Using antimicrobials as a feed additive in swine production is prohibited because it is a major cause of the emergence of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria. Probiotics such as spp. are an attractive alternative to reduce antimicrobial resistance and promote swine growth. This study aimed to evaluate the probiotic properties of isolated from indigenous swine manure.
Materials And Methods: A total of 30 fecal samples from healthy individual indigenous pigs were collected and isolated on de Man, Rogosa, and Sharpe agar. The preliminary screen identified candidates with antibacterial activity against six pathogens and >50% survival and tolerance to acid (pH 3.0) and 1% bile salt. Isolates that passed the initial screen will be tested for other probiotic properties.
Results: Of the 314 isolates from 30 pig manure samples, 17 isolates satisfied all initial conditions for probiotic properties. Each isolate has unique, distinctive properties. Isolates B4, B5, B8, B17, B87, and B144 formed thick biofilms, whereas isolates B5, B8, and 27 adhered well to the intestinal wall and exhibited strong autoaggregation properties. Isolate B4 aggregated with Enterohemorrhagic and Enteropathogenic . Tests in pH-adjusted cell-free medium indicated that the antibacterial activity resulted from bacterial acidification rather than bacteriocin formation. Sequence analysis () revealed 16 of the isolates were , and only one isolate was .
Conclusion: We isolated 17 from swine manure and demonstrated that their probiotic properties might be useful as a probiotic cocktail for swine feed.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) represents an escalating global health crisis, constituting the leading cause of dementia among the elderly and profoundly impairing their quality of life. Current FDA-approved drugs, such as rivastigmine, donepezil, galantamine, and memantine, offer only modest symptomatic relief and are frequently associated with significant adverse effects. Faced with this challenge and in line with advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology of this neurodegenerative condition, various innovative therapeutic strategies have been explored.

Lactobacillus is a key genus of probiotics commonly utilized for the treatment of oral infections The primary aim of our research was to investigate the probiotic potential of the newly isolated DPL5 strain from human breast milk, focusing on its ability to combat biofilm-forming pathogens such as . Employing in vitro approaches, we demonstrate DPL5's ability to endure at pH 3 with survival rates above 30%, and withstand the osmotic stress often found during industrial processes like fermentation and freeze drying, retaining over 90% viability. The lyophilized cell-free supernatant of DPL5 had a significant antagonistic effect against biofilm-producing nasal strains of , and it completely eradicated biofilms at subinhibitory concentrations of 20 mg·mL.

The demand for healthier snack options has driven innovation in frozen dairy products. This study developed and characterized novel frozen dairy snacks fermented with probiotics ( LA5; GG, and BIOTEC003) and containing 2% blueberry bagasse. Four formulations (LA5, LGG, LA5-BERRY, and LGG-BERRY) were analyzed for their nutritional, physicochemical, functional, and sensory properties.

It is known that probiotics have direct and indirect effects on many systems in the body, especially the gastrointestinal system. Interest in using probiotic strain-derived cell components and metabolites has also increased as a result of the significant benefits of probiotics. Although many terminologies and definitions are used for these components and metabolites, the International Scientific Association of Probiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP) recommended the use of the term postbiotic in 2021, which is defined as "a preparation of inanimate microorganisms and/or their components that confers a health benefit on the host".

Probiotics are beneficial to humans and animals and often used for regulating immunity, intestinal microbiota balance, and animal growth performance. Donkey husbandry has boomed in China in recent years and there is an urgent need for probiotics effective for improving donkey health. However, studies on potential probiotic strains isolated from donkeys are scarce.
