“…The prowess of LAB against bacterial infections could involve promotion of the secretion of mucin by intestinal epithelial cells, which inhibits adhesion of pathogenic bacteria to intestinal epithelial cells and the consequent colonization of the intestinal lining [11]. Other mechanisms could contribute to the reinforcement of the intestinal barrier function [12,13].…”

The treatment and prevention of pathogenic diseases by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) has attracted more and more attention. As a special LAB, Levilactobacillus brevis (L. brevis) has relatively less research on its antibacterial infection in vivo, and its protective effect and mechanism still need to be fully studied. In this study, we selected L. brevis 23017, which can regulate the intestinal immunity of the host animal and resist pathogen infection, to evaluate its protective role and potential molecular mechanisms in the mouse model of S. typhimurium C7731 infection. As expected, we confirmed that L. brevis 23017 reduced the diarrhea rate and increased the daily weight gain and survival rate of the mouse model, and inhibited S. typhimurium colonization in the jejunum and liver. It also reduced the level of oxidative damage and protected the integrity of intestinal tissue by increasing the activity of intestinal antioxidant enzymes (SOD, GSH-Px and T-AOC). From the perspective of intestinal mucosal barrier injury and repair, it was confirmed that L. brevis 23017 could increase the expression levels of intestinal tight junction proteins (ZO-1 and OCLN). Our research results also show that L. brevis 23017 inhibits the inflammatory response and promotes the occurrence of cellular immunity in the body by promoting the increase in IL-10 and inhibiting IL-13 in serum and intestinal tissue. Notably, L. brevis 23017 increased total secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA) levels in the intestine, which were closely associated with elevated levels of IL-5, IL-13, pIgR, j-chain, and IgAα-chain. In addition, L. brevis 23017 increased the expression of antioxidant proteins Nrf2, NQO1, and HO-1 associated with Nrf2 signaling to inhibit intestinal oxidative damage. This mechanism may be responsible for its protective effect against S. typhimurium-infected intestine. Our study provides new evidence and theoretical support for the analysis of the anti-bacterial infection effect and mechanism of L. brevis, which will contribute to the development of L. brevis and the treatment of pathogenic bacteria intestinal infection.
