“…One gram sporolac powder, not less than 150 million spores of L. sporogenes was dissolved in 3.0 ml distilled water. Each mouse administrated orally with 12.5 million spores of L. sporogenes per week for 8 weeks to obtain the total dose 100 million spores/mice (Son et al 2009). …”

The prospective effects of Lactobacillus sporogenes (probiotics) and/or praziquantel (PZQ) treatment on some parasitological, histological and molecular aspects in Schistosoma mansoni infected mice were studied. The present data recorded that combination between PZQ (300 mg/Kg one dose 7 weeks post infection) and L. sporogenes (12.5 million spore/mice/week for 8 weeks from the first day of infection) reduced worm and ova count. Also, oogram patterns in liver and intestine recorded that treatment with L. sporogenes alone increase number of dead eggs especially in intestine. Histological observations showed significant (P \ 0.05) reduction in the mean values of granuloma diameters in liver and intestine in infected mice groups treated with PZQ and/or L. sporogenes. Single strand breaks (comet assay) showed increase in number of damaged and strong damaged lymphocyte cells in mice infected with S. mansoni and infected treated with PZQ while L. sporogenes administration reduced DNA damage. Flow cytometry also confirmed role of L. sporogenes in reducing significantly DNA damage according to determination of cell cycle analysis apoptosis. It can be concluded that administration of L. sporogenes accompanied with PZQ treatment ameliorates the hepatic and intestinal damage caused by S. mansoni infection.

“…The administration of probiotics as part of the daily dietary intake can reduce the incidence and severity of acute and chronic enteric infection, facilitate prevention and reduced recurrence of certain cancers, and lower the incidence of several atopic conditions [10,11]. The field of probiosis has emerged as a new science with applications in farming and aquaculture as alternatives to antibiotics as well as prophylactics in humans [12,13]. Probiotics are being developed commercially for both human uses, primarily as novel foods or dietary supplements, and in animal feeds, poultry and aquaculture, for the prevention of gastrointestinal infections.…”

Over a century ago Eli Metchnikoff proposed the revolutionary idea to consume viable bacteria to promote health by modulating the intestinal microflora. The idea is more applicable now than ever, since bacterial antimicrobial resistance has become a serious worldwide problem both in medical and agricultural fields. The interest in digestive physiology and the microbiome has generated data whereby well being of all living organisms with a digestive tract can be enhanced and the risk of disease reduced. Given the recent international legislation and domestic consumer pressures to withdraw growth-promoting antibiotics and limit antibiotics available for treatment of bacterial infections, probiotics can offer alternative options. Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host. Current indications are that mechanism of action involves a number of possibilities like rapid activation of innate host immune responses, assisting in the digestion of food materials etc. In this review, we focused on applying probiotic concept to alleviate chronic constipation and idiopathic diarrhea in humans or for specific pathogen reduction and improvement of GIT diseases in poultry.

Objective: Indiscriminate use of antibiotics to control fish diseases has led to the development and propagation of antibiotic resistant bacteria in aquatic ecosystems. Amongst the various alternatives proposed, enhancing immunity in fish using probiotics is the most widely accepted approach. Several earlier studies indicated the possibility of more potent effects of bacteria on fish when administered in live condition than as inactivated cells. But very few studies have explored the effect of gut bacteria on innate immune responses of fishes. Hence an attempt is made to study immunostimulatory effects of dietary supplementation of Bacillus subtilis and Terribacillus saccharophillus isolated from the gut of an edible Indian freshwater fish, Labeo rohita, in the same species.Methods: Long term administration (for 30 and 60 days) of B. subtilis or T. saccharophillus isolated from the gut wall of L. rohita were tested in the same species for their ability to improve innate immunity through measurement of the phagocytic activity, respiratory burst, myeloperoxidase activity, serum IgM levels, serum lectins, haemagglutination and haemolytic activity.Results: Dietary administration of 107 cfu/g of B.subtilis/T. saccharophillus for 30 (B 1 ) or 60 (B 2 ) days resulted in a significant increase in immune and humoral responses of L. rohita. Serum phagocytic activity, respiratory burst activity, myeloperoxidase activity, serum lectins, haemagglutination and haemolytic activity increased upon administration of B.subtilis / T. saccharophillus, except serum IgM levels which increased only in B 1 . A positive correlation was observed between the duration of supplementation of diets and the responses in both the cases. Conclusion:The results suggest that T. saccharophillus can also be used as a potent probiont similar to B.subtilis and both will have significant applications in fish feed formulations and disease prevention.
