Following a request from the European Commission, the Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of the feed additive consisting of NBIMCC 8270, NBIMCC 8242, NBIMCC 8269, ssp. NBIMCC 8250, ssp. NBIMCC 8244 NBIMCC 8253 (Probiotic Lactina®) when used as a zootechnical additive for cats and dogs. The Panel concluded that Probiotic Lactina® is safe for the target species at the proposed conditions of use. The Panel also concluded that Probiotic Lactina® is irritant to skin and eyes and a respiratory sensitiser, but in the absence of data, no conclusions could be reached on its skin sensitisation potential. No conclusions could be drawn on the efficacy of Probiotic Lactina® for dogs and cats based on the data available.

Purpose Of Review: The gut microbiome is an emerging arena to investigate multiple sclerosis (MS) pathogenesis and potential therapeutics. In this review, we summarize the available data and postulate the feasibilities of potential MS therapeutic approaches that modulate the gut microbiome.
Recent Findings: Growing evidence indicates dysbiosis in the gut bacterial ecosystem in MS.

Cholera, a disease caused by , remains a pervasive public health threat, particularly in regions with inadequate water sanitation and hygiene infrastructure, such as Bangladesh. This review explores the complex interplay between water pollution and cholera transmission in Bangladesh, highlighting how contaminated water bodies serve as reservoirs for . A key focus is the potential role of probiotics as a novel intervention approach for cholera prevention and management.

Background: Pigeons are significant economic animals in China; however, research regarding the establishment and influencing factors of gut microbiota in squabs remains limited. Understanding how the gut microbiota develops in pigeons, particularly in relation to pigeon milk, is importance in pigeon production. This study aims to elucidate the establishment characteristics of the gut microbiota in White King pigeon squabs and explore the role of pigeon milk in this process.

In this study, a thermostable β-galactosidase from OSU-PECh-4A has been isolated through diafiltration and size-exclusion chromatography. The enzyme consists of a heterodimer with a molecular mass of 110 kDa, with a small and large subunit of 36 and 74 kDa, respectively. The Michaelis constant (K) and maximum velocity (V) values for lactose and -nitrophenyl-β-d-galactopyranoside (NPG) hydrolysis were, respectively, 29.

Background: A growing number of in vitro and in vivo studies suggest the application of probiotics as a natural approach to maintaining oral health. This double-blind, randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Levilactobacillus brevis CD2 (CNCM I-5566), a multifunctional probiotic frequently used in oral medicine, in preserving or improving several recognized oral health indicators.
Methods: Thirty consenting healthy adults were randomized to receive four lozenges per day of L.
