Lactic acid bacteria are widely recognized for their probiotic properties, and their adhesion to the gastrointestinal tract is a prerequisite for their probiotic functions. This investigation aimed to screen a highly adherent strain and explore the impact of its surface lipoteichoic acid (LTA) on strain adhesion to intestinal epithelial cells and the immunomodulatory activity. Results demonstrated that ZJ316 exhibited remarkable surface properties and superior adhesion to enterocytes, and the fluorescent labeling revealed that ZJ316 predominantly adhered to the cecum in mice. After comparing four typical separation techniques, the most effective approaches for isolating ZJ316 LTA involved -butanol extraction combined with ultrahigh pressure cell disruption. Additionally, the structure of purified LTA was characterized by multispectrometric analysis and confirmed as a typical type-I LTA. Furthermore, LTA from ZJ316 dose dependently impacted the adhesion to Caco-2 intestinal epithelial cells, as well as suppressed the expression of inflammatory factors in the LPS-induced RAW264.7 macrophage. Our findings validated that LTA derived from the highly adherent ZJ316 was one of the key adhesion factors and deserved further consideration as an important postbiotic for regulating various immunomodulatory actions.

The overgrowth of Propionibacterium acnes and the subsequent inflammation possess critical roles during acne vulgaris development. Cath-HG, an antimicrobial peptide previously characterized for its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, human protease-regulating, LPS-binding, and platelet glycoprotein VI (GPVI) inhibitory properties, has not been studied in the context of acne vulgaris. Here, Cath-HG was found to show strong anti-bacterial activities against P.

Objective: To determine whether methadone administration affects leukocyte phagocytic function, oxidative burst, and cytokine production and if immune function is associated with plasma methadone concentrations in dogs.
Methods: This was a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, nonblinded crossover study. Ten client-owned healthy dogs were included in the study.

In 2020, sepsis has been defined a worldwide health major issue (World Health Organization). Lung, urinary tract and abdominal cavity are the preferred sites of sepsis-linked infection. Research has highlighted that the advancement of sepsis is not only related to the presence of inflammation or microbial or host pattern recognition.

Discovering potent antibiotics is of critical importance due to the substantial increases of microbial resistance. Xanthones are intriguing sources of antimicrobials, despite a scarcity of extensive investigations into their mechanisms of action. Here, we reported the development of a series of xanthone derivatives, among which compound displayed strong broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, weak hemolytic activity, and low cytotoxicity against mammalian cell lines, low frequencies of drug resistance, and potent in vivo efficacy in - or -induced murine corneal infection models.
