Abstract

Study the effect of lactobacilli exopolysaccharides (EPS)on cytokine and phagocyte activity in vitro and in mice organism during modelling of an infectious process. Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. delbrueckii B-1596 (laksaran 1596), L. delbrueckii B-1936 (laksaran 1936) and L. delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus (laksaran Z) were used in the study. EPS were administered into white mice 1 hour after the Staphylococcus aureus 209-P infection. Index of phagocyte completion and index of killing activation (IKA) were calculated during phagocyte activity study. IL-1α, TNF-α, IFN-γ and IL-4 cytokine content was determined in blood sera and macrophage supernatants. Laksaran 1596, 1936 and Z had ambiguous effect on cytokine production. Laksaran: Z and 1936, 6 hours after mice infection increased IL-1 content in blood sera. Laksaran Z had the most pronounced effect on macrophages, resulting in an increase of active macrophages, facilitating increased digestion of S. aureus 209-P and IKA increase, stimulated cytokine production. The results obtained allow to speak about a possibility of using laksaran Z as a prophylaxis immune modulating preparation for correction of animal cytokine status.

CRISPR & Staphylococcus

CRISPR-Cas system enables the editing of genes to create or correct mutations. Staphylococci are associated with life-threatening infections in hospitals, as well as the community. Here is the latest research on how CRISPR-Cas system can be used for treatment of Staphylococcal infections.
