“…Previous in vitro and in vivo studies carried out with A. faecalis A12C demonstrated its probiotic crossed effect against vibriosis or Photobacterium damselae Subsp. piscicida in relevant sh species for marine aquaculture [18,19]. Recently, our research group has shown the potential probiotic effect of this strain in mammals.…”

“…In several studies by our group, a strain of Alcaligenes faecalis sub faecalis (A. faecalis A12C), isolated from Argyrosomus regius gills, have shown excellent conditions as potential probiotic in sh due to inhibitory activity against different pathogens, particularly, Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida and Vibrio anguillarum, stimulating their immune response by activating a variety of pro-in ammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) [4,19]. Our group reported the rst study examining the probiotic effects of A. faecalis A12C on general, biochemical, and pathological parameters in a clinically relevant rodent model of peritonitis showing that oral administration of this strain during 7 days is safe and had marked effects on the spread of infection [20].…”

Curdlan, a β-1,3/1,6-glucan found in Alcaligenes faecalis (A. faecalis) wall, activates innate and humoral immunity. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether pre-treated rats with A.faecalis A12C could prevent sepsis disturbances and identify the immunomodulatory mechanisms involved. Experiments occurred in two stages: a survival study with 16 rats randomly divided into septic (SC) (n = 8) and septic pre-treated (SA) (n = 8) groups; and 45 rats divided into four groups: healthy (AGUSAN) (n = 9), septic (AGUIC) (n = 13), septic pre-treated (AGUIA) (n = 14), and healthy pre-treated (AGUSTO) (n = 9). Sepsis was induced by cecal ligation and puncture after 30 days of A.faecalis A12C pre-treatment or without. SA group had a higher survival rate (58%) vs SC group (16%) (P < 0.05). Overall, AGUIA showed better status than AGUIC (P < 0.01). Higher monocytosis was found in AGUIA and AGUSTO vs AGUIC and AGUSAN, respectively (P < 0.05). A gradual increase in curdlan fecal concentration was observed in AGUIA during pre-treatment. Fecal concentrations of E. coli significantly decreased in AGUIA and AGUSTO. Bacterial load in urine, peritoneal, and bronchoalveolar lavage fluids (PLF and BALF) decreased (P < 0.05) in AGUIA vs AGUIC. Finally, lower inflammation was observed in serum, BALF, and PLF, with reduced IL-6, IL-10, IL-1β, and TNF-α, along with less damage in lungs and peritoneum in AGUIA vs AGUIC. These findings suggest the connection between curdlan -produced by A. faecalis A12C- with the immune system and the reduction in severity of experimental sepsis.

A strain of Alcaligenes faecalis A12C (A. faecalis A12C) isolated from Argyrosomus regius is a probiotic in fish. Previous experiments showed that A. faecalis A12C had inhibitory effects on the growth of multidrug-resistant bacteria. We aimed to confirm whether A. faecalis A12C is safe and has adequate intestinal colonization in experimental rats, and evaluate its efficacy in an animal model of peritonitis. We used 30 male rats, randomly divided into 6 groups (n = 5): three groups (HA7, HA15, HA30) received A. faecalis A12C in drinking water (6 × 108 CFU/mL) for 7 days, and three control groups received drinking water only. All groups were evaluated at 7, 15, and 30 days. Survival after A. faecalis A12C administration was 100% in all groups. Mild eosinophilia (1.5%, p < 0.01) and increased aspartate aminotransferase (86 IU/L, p < 0.05) were observed in HA7, followed by progressive normalization. No histological signs of organ injury were found. We observed significant E. coli decline in faeces, parallel to an increase in A. faecalis A12C at 7 days. E. coli had a tendency to recover initial values, while A. faecalis A12C disappeared from the intestinal microbiota at 30 days. To evaluate its efficacy against peritonitis, we studied two additional groups of animals: IA group pretreated with A. faecalis A12C before E. coli intra-abdominal inoculation, and IC group inoculated with no A. faecalis A12C. We found an increase in C-reactive protein, alanine aminotransferase, urea, and eosinophils in IC animals when compared with IA. Peritonitis was more evident in IC than in IA animals. Our findings suggest that A. faecalis A12C altered clinically relevant parameters in sepsis and was associated with a lesser spread of infection.
