The Regulating Effect of Weizmannia coagulans BC-G44 on Antibiotic-Associated Diarrhea and its Improvement on Gut Microbiota. (PubMed, Probiotics Antimicrob Proteins)
The normal group mice received 0.2 mL normal saline twice a day, while the model, high-dose, and low-dose groups received 0.2 mL of an antibiotic mixture (550 mg∙kg-1 amoxicillin, 450 mg∙kg-1 clindamycin, 400 mg∙kg-1 streptomycin) twice daily to reduce AAD. Metabolomics of W. coagulans BC-G44 culture supernatants, including untargeted metabolites and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway annotations, revealed changes in metabolic pathways and metabolites relevant to mice. Our findings indicated that W. coagulans BC-G44 alleviates the AAD process in mice by relieving diarrhea symptoms, easing intestinal inflammation, altering intestinal permeability, and improving gut microbiota structure.
