Due to the bad aspects associated with the use of antibiotics, the pressure on poultry production prompted the efforts to find out suitable growth-promoting and disease-preventing alternatives. Although many cost-effective alternatives have been developed, currently, one of the most auspicious alternatives for poultry feed is spore-forming probiotics, which can exert more beneficial effects as compared to normal probiotics, because of their ability to withstand the harsh external and internal conditions which result in increased viability. Many studies have already used spore-forming probiotics to improve different parameters of poultry production. Our laboratory has recently isolated a spore-forming bacterial strain, which has the potential to be used as a probiotic. So, to provide a detailed understanding, the current review aimed to collect valuable references to describe the mechanism of action of spore-forming probiotics and their effect on all the key aspects of poultry production.

Probiotics are widely used for their health promoting effects, though a lot remain to be discovered, particularly on their mechanisms of action at the molecular level. The functional genomic approach is an appropriate method to decipher how probiotics may influence human cell fate and therefore contribute to their health benefit. In the present work, we focused on Shouchella clausii (formerly named Bacillus then Alkalihalobacillus clausii), a spore-forming bacterium that is commercially available as a probiotic for the prevention and the treatment of intestinal dysbiosis and related gastrointestinal disorders, such as diarrhoea.

Article Synopsis
- Elevated lactate levels are linked to serious health issues, including sepsis and mitochondrial dysfunction, and poor lactate clearance can lead to worse outcomes in these conditions.
- Current methods for managing elevated lactate are limited, but recent findings highlight the gut's role in lactate regulation, suggesting a potential link between gut bacteria and blood lactate levels.
- This study presents a promising approach using engineered probiotic spores to deliver lactate oxidase to the gut, which successfully lowers blood lactate in mice without harming gut health or immune function.

Electronic address:
Clostridioides difficile is a spore-forming pathogen capable of causing severe disease in humans. Critical stages in the biological cycle of this microorganism include sporogenesis/germination and toxin production by vegetative cells. Antagonizing these pivotal events could aid in prevention and treatment to manage this pathogen.

Article Synopsis
- AO1125 is a Gram-positive bacterium with potential probiotic benefits due to its broad antimicrobial activity and resilience in gut conditions.
- The study assessed its safety and probiotic capabilities through genome analysis, cytotoxicity tests, and a clinical trial with 99 healthy participants.
- Results indicate minimal antibiotic resistance and no harmful effects, making AO1125 a promising candidate for supporting gut health and a potential focus for future research.

Spore-forming bacteria (SFB), like Bacillus, are the gram-positive bacteria with broad-spectrum activity that is one of the commonly used strains of probiotics. However, these bacteria also have significant resistance. In this study, we systematically investigated pig manure, manure slurry and soil by 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing and traditional culture techniques.
