Background: Gut microbes are important regulators of host health and can also function as disease indicators. Lactiplantibacilllus plantarum(L. plantarum)used as express and delivery vaccines for mucosal immunity have been shown to activate specific immune responses in numerous studies.
Results: The interaction between recombinant L. plantarum and the gut microbiota was investigated in this study. The results indicated a change in the amount of gut OTU by recombinant L. plantarum. Recombinant L. plantarum dramatically boosted the species diversity of gut bacteria based on the Shannon-Wiener index. Beta diversity analysis showed that microbial structure was changed by recombinant L. plantarum. Furthermore, recombinant NC8 L. plantarum expressing a fusion between the P14.5 protein of the African swine fever virus and IL-33 enhanced the functions of gut bacteria in metabolism and immune regulation. Increased levels of IgG and IgG1 in serum and sIgA in feces, as well as enrichment of CD4 T cells and IgA B cells, indicated that the gut microbiota exerted an immunomodulatory role when mediated by recombinant L. plantarum.
Conclusions: These results revealed that recombinant L. plantarum exerted its potential role in the gut microbiota and gut immunity.These fndings contribute to a broader understanding and utilization of L. plantarum bacteria in various therapeutic applications.
