probiotics may fit the definition of LBPs and can be developed as Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) has been used as a probiotic since its isolation over 100 years ago21. In its
Here, we studied the effect of the probiotic strain E. coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) administered orally to young pigs at two concentrations (10(9) and 10(11)CFU/d for 21 days) on the gut-associated lymphatic tissue. This probiotic strain was shown recently to reduce recurrence of inflammation in ulcerative colitis patients.
Despite the great progress of current bacterially based biotherapeutics, their unsatisfying efficacy and underlying safety problems have limited their clinical application. Herein, inspired by probiotic Escherichia coli strain Nissle 1917, probiotic-derived outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are found to serve as an effective therapeutic platform for the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseaseOur results show a robust engineered probiotic that produces 73.4 ± 47.2 nmol and 149 ± 123.6 nmol of ILA per gram of fecal and cecal matter, respectively, three days after colonization in a mouse model. In addition, hereby is reported an engineered-probiotic-related increase of ILA in the systemic circulation of the treated mice. zNXdm.
