“…Probiotic formulations include a single strain, multiple organisms, or a prebiotic (symbiotic) (Jana et al 2020). Survival and stability of LABs with probiotic potential on different substrates are highly dependent on the strains, the physicochemical and bioactive composition of the culture medium, fermentation, and storage conditions (Min et al 2018).…”

“…However, various studies also reported that one of the essential cytoprotective effects of probiotics in the gut mucosa is strengthening the tight epithelial junctions and preserving mucosal barrier function. Probiotics enhance barrier function by inducing synthesis and assembly of tight junction proteins and prevent disruption of tight junctions by injurious factors (Krishna Rao and Samak 2013;Jana et al 2020).…”

Vegetable substrates as an alternative for the inclusion of lactic acid bacteria with probiotic potential in food matrices

et al. 2023

Vegetable substrates are food matrices with micronutrients, antioxidants, and fiber content with a high potential for bioprocesses development. In addition, they have been recognized as essential sources of a wide range of phytochemicals that, individually or in combination, can act as bioactive compounds with potential benefits to health due to their antioxidant and antimicrobial activity and recently due to their status as prebiotics in the balance of the human intestinal microbiota. This systematic review explores the benefits of lactic fermentation of plant matrices such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, and cereals by bacteria with probiotic potential, guaranteeing cell viability (106–107 CFU/mL) and generating bioactive metabolic products for modulation of the gut microbiome.

Gut microbiome and neurosurgery: Implications for treatment

Introduction: The aim of this review is to summarize the current understanding of the gut-brain axis (GBA), its impact on neurosurgery, and its implications for future treatment. Background: An abundance of research has established the existence of a collection of pathways between the gut microbiome and the central nervous system (CNS), commonly known as the GBA. Complicating this relationship, the gut microbiome bacterial diversity appears to change with age, antibiotic exposure and a number of external and internal factors. Methods: In this paper, we present the current understanding of the key protective and deleterious roles the gut microbiome plays in the pathogenesis of several common neurosurgical concerns. Results: Specifically, we examine how spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury and stroke may cause gut microbial dysbiosis. Furthermore, this link appears to be bidirectional as gut dysbiosis contributes to secondary CNS injury in each of these ailment settings. This toxic cycle may be broken, and the future secondary damage rescued by timely, therapeutic, gut microbiome modification. In addition, a robust gut microbiome appears to improve outcomes in brain tumour treatment. There are several primary routes by which microbiome dysbiosis may be ameliorated, including faecal microbiota transplant, oral probiotics, bacteriophages, genetic modification of gut microbiota and vagus nerve stimulation. Conclusion: The GBA represents an important component of patient care in the field of neurosurgery. Future research may illuminate ideal methods of therapeutic microbiome modulation in distinct pathogenic settings.

Large Intestine and Gut–Brain–Microbiota Interactions

Food Digestion and Absorption

The large intestine is crucial for the various functions of the digestive system, including colonic fermentation, biosynthesis of essential vitamins and metabolites, and managing fluid and electrolyte balance. It also aids in microbial colonization and fermentation through longer transit times, conducive pH, low cell turnover, and redox potential. The gut microbiome and its metabolites significantly impact other human systems, such as the nervous system, immune system, endocrine system, and organ systems. Gut dysbiosis has been linked to various diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders, mental health, inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, type II diabetes, food allergies, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, chronic constipation, and colorectal cancer. The impact of specific dietary patterns, food components, and therapeutic interventions on overall health and specific disease conditions are discussed in this chapter.
