Using rodent experimental models, we know that rats experiencing social isolation as early-life stress exhibit greater anxiety-like behavior and alcohol consumption than rats housed in groups. Examining potential preventive strategies, we investigated the effects of probiotics, which have previously been shown to decrease rodent anxiety-like behavior, on the relationship between early-life stress and anxiety-like behavior in rats.

  • Promoting a Healthy Microbiome with Food and Probiotics
    PROMOTING A HEALTHY MICROBIOME WITH FOOD AND PROBIOTICS DEFINITIONS • Prebiotic: The food that probiotics need to sustain themselves (e.g. fructooligosaccharides) • Probiotic: A living organism that benefits the health of the host (e.g. bacteria and yeast) • Synbiotic: A supplement that contains both a prebiotic and a probiotic • Postbiotic: A metabolic byproduct of probiotics (e.g. n-butyrate from fermentation of fiber and bacteria) NUTRITION: THE ULTIMATE PREBIOTIC Although a person’s population of bacteria is inoculated at the time of birth, most of the microbiome is established in the human gut with the introduction of food. Breast milk includes milk oligosaccharides (MOS) that provide bacteria with nutrients to grow, particularly Bifidobacteria. Diets that contain the most fiber, fruit, and vegetables are known to engender the most diversity and richness of bacteria growth in the gut. Healthy bacteria produce short-chain fatty acids, such as n-butyrate, that support the health of the intestinal lining.[1] Foods rich in choline and carnitine (e.g. red meat and eggs) are metabolized by the intestinal microbiota to form the gas trimethylamine (TMA). TMA is converted by the liver to trimethylamine oxide (TMAO). This substance (an unhealthy postbiotic) has been strongly linked to the development of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease.[2] Eating a diet low in red meat and animal fat and rich in fibrous plants has been found to support bacteria in the gut that can reduce how much energy the body stores; our gut’s microbiome can influence one’s risk of obesity.[3] When humans were hunters and gatherers, it was harder to kill wild game, so eating meat and animal fat was less common.

Although each person’s microbial profile is University, Hamilton, ON, Canada; distinct, the relative abundance and distribution of bacterial species is similar among healthy 2Brain-Body Institute, St Joseph’s Healthcare, Hamilton, ON, Canada individuals, aiding in the maintenance of one’s overall health. Consequently, the ability of gut microbiota to bidirectionally communicate with the brain, known as the gut–brain axis, in the modulation of human health is at the forefront of current research. At a basic level, the gut microbiota interacts with the human host in a mutualistic relationship – the host intestine pro- vides the bacteria with an environment to grow and the bacterium aids in governing homeostasis within the host. Therefore, it is reasonable to think that the lack of healthy gut microbiota may also lead to a deterioration of these relationships and ultimately disease.

This study evaluated the taxonomy of Lactobacillaceae and Leuconostocaceae on the basis of whole genome sequences. Parameters that were evaluated included core genome phylogeny, (conserved) pairwise average amino acid identity, clade- specific signature genes, physiological criteria and the ecology of the organisms. Based on this polyphasic approach, we propose reclassification of the genus Lactobacillus into 25 genera including the emended genus Lactobacillus, which includes host- adapted organisms that have been referred to as the Lactobacillus delbrueckii group, Paralactobacillus and 23 novel genera for which the names Holzapfelia, Amylolactobacillus, Bombilactobacillus, Companilactobacillus, Lapidilactobacillus, Agrilactobacil- lus, Schleiferilactobacillus, Loigolactobacilus, Lacticaseibacillus, Latilactobacillus, Dellaglioa,
