  • Human Milk Microbiota in Sub-Acute Lactational Mastitis Induces
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Human milk microbiota in sub‑acute lactational mastitis induces infammation and undergoes changes in composition, diversity and load Alba Boix‑Amorós1,2,4, Maria Teresa Hernández‑Aguilar3, Alejandro Artacho2, Maria Carmen Collado1,5 & Alex Mira1,5* Sub‑acute mastitis (SAM) is a prevalent disease among lactating women, being one of the main reasons for early weaning. Although the etiology and diagnosis of acute mastitis (AM) is well established, little is known about the underlying mechanisms causing SAM. We collected human milk samples from healthy and SAM‑sufering mothers, during the course of mastitis and after symptoms disappeared. Total (DNA‑based) and active (RNA‑based) microbiota were analysed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and qPCR. Furthermore, mammary epithelial cell lines were exposed to milk pellets, and levels of the pro‑infammatory interleukin IL8 were measured. Bacterial load was signifcantly higher in the mastitis samples and decreased after clinical symptoms disappeared. Bacterial diversity was lower in SAM milk samples, and diferences in bacterial composition and activity were also found. Contrary to AM, the same bacterial species were found in samples from healthy and SAM mothers, although at diferent proportions, indicating a dysbiotic ecological shift. Finally, mammary epithelial cell exposure to SAM milk pellets showed an over‑production of IL8. Our work therefore supports that SAM has a bacterial origin, with increased bacterial loads, reduced diversity and altered composition, which partly recovered after treatment, suggesting a polymicrobial and variable etiology. Human milk is a complex and live fuid, containing a relatively diverse and potential benefcial microbiota under healthy conditions1, which enhances gut microbiota colonization, likely stimulates commensal tolerance and supports the maturation of the immune system2–5.

The Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes (F/B) ratio is widely accepted to have an important influence in maintaining normal intestinal homeostasis. Increased or decreased F/B ratio is regarded as dysbiosis, whereby the former is usually observed with obesity, and the latter with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Probiotics as live microorganisms can confer health benefits to the host when administered in adequate amounts. There is considerable evidence of their nutritional and immunosuppressive properties including reports that elucidate the association of probiotics with the F/B ratio, obesity, and IBD. Orally administered probiotics can contribute to the restoration of dysbiotic microbiota and to the prevention of obesity or IBD. However, as the effects of different probiotics on the F/B ratio differ, selecting the appropriate species or mixture is crucial. The most commonly tested probiotics for modifying the F/B ratio and treating obesity and IBD are from the genus Lactobacillus. In this paper, we review the effects of probiotics on the F/B ratio that lead to weight loss or immunosuppression.

Bacterial diversity was studied by amplicon sequencing analysis of the V3-V4 variable region of the 16S rRNA gene. Firmicutes and Proteobacteria were the main phyla detected in the milk samples, followed by Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes. The proportion of Firmicutes to Proteobacteria changed considerably depending on the sampling week. A total of 411 genera or higher taxons were detected in the set of samples. Genus Streptococcus was detected during the 28-week sampling period, at relative abundances between 2.0% and 68.8%, and it was the most abundant group in 14 of the samples. Carnobacterium and Lactobacillus had low relative abundances. At the genus level, bacterial diversity changed considerably at certain weeks within the studied period. The weeks or periods with lowest relative abundance of Streptococcus had more diverse bacterial compositions including genera belonging to Proteobacteria that were poorly represented in the rest of the samples.

  • Effect of 17Β-Estradiol on a Human Vaginal Lactobacillus Crispatus Strain
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Efect of 17β‑estradiol on a human vaginal Lactobacillus crispatus strain Maximilien Clabaut1, Amandine Suet2, Pierre‑Jean Racine1, Ali Tahrioui1, Julien Verdon3, Magalie Barreau1, Olivier Maillot1, Agathe Le Tirant4, Madina Karsybayeva5, Coralie Kremser6, Gérard Redziniak7, Cécile Duclairoir‑Poc1, Chantal Pichon2, Sylvie Chevalier1 & Marc G. J. Feuilloley1* Lactobacilli and estrogens play essential roles in vaginal homeostasis. We investigated the potential direct efect of 17β‑estradiol on a vaginal strain of Lactobacillus crispatus, the major bacterial species of the vaginal microbiota. 17β‑estradiol (10–6 to 10–10 M) had no efect on L. crispatus growth, but markedly afected the membrane dynamics of this bacterium. This efect appeared consistent with a signal transduction process. The surface polarity and aggregation potential of the bacterium were unafected by exposure to 17β‑estradiol, but its mean size was signifcantly reduced. 17β‑estradiol also promoted biosurfactant production by L. crispatus and adhesion to vaginal VK2/E6E7 cells, but had little efect on bacterial bioflm formation activity. Bioinformatic analysis of L. crispatus identifed a membrane lipid raft–associated stomatin/prohibitin/fotillin/HfK domain containing protein as a potential 17β‑estradiol binding site. Overall, our results reveal direct efects of 17β‑estradiol on L. crispatus. These efects are of potential importance in the physiology of the vaginal environment, through the promotion of lactobacillus adhesion to the mucosa and protection against pathogens. Te human microbiota has a dynamic structure that difers among organs and populations 1. It evolves con- stantly, in response to local and environmental factors 1–3. Te vaginal microbiota is less diverse than other microbiota4 but evolves rapidly with changes in female physiology over time 5.

New techniques have increased our 5 understanding of milk microbiota composition, but little data on the activity of bioactive 6 compounds and their biological role in infants is available. While the human milk microbiome 7 may be influenced by specific factors, including genetics, maternal health and nutrition, mode of 8 delivery, breastfeeding, lactation stage, and geographic location, the impact of these factors on 9 the infant microbiome is not yet known. This article gives an overview of milk microbiota 10 composition and activity, including factors influencing microbial composition and their 11 potential biological relevance on infants' future health.

    microorganisms Article Characterization of Weissella koreensis SK Isolated from Kimchi Fermented at Low Temperature ◦ (around 0 C) Based on Complete Genome Sequence and Corresponding Phenotype So Yeong Mun and Hae Choon Chang * Department of Food and Nutrition, Kimchi Research Center, Chosun University, 309 Pilmun-daero, Dong-gu, Gwangju 61452, Korea; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 17 June 2020; Accepted: 28 July 2020; Published: 29 July 2020 Abstract: This study identified lactic acid bacteria (LAB) that play a major role in kimchi fermented at low temperature, and investigated the safety and functionality of the LAB via biologic and genomic analyses for its potential use as a starter culture or probiotic. Fifty LAB were isolated from 45 kimchi samples fermented at 1.5~0 C for 2~3 months. Weissella koreensis strains were determined as the − ◦ dominant LAB in all kimchi samples. One strain, W. koreensis SK, was selected and its phenotypic and genomic features characterized. The complete genome of W. koreensis SK contains one circular chromosome and plasmid. W. koreensis SK grew well under mesophilic and psychrophilic conditions. W. koreensis SK was found to ferment several carbohydrates and utilize an alternative carbon source, the amino acid arginine, to obtain energy. Supplementation with arginine improved cell growth and resulted in high production of ornithine. The arginine deiminase pathway of W. koreensis SK was encoded in a cluster of four genes (arcA-arcB-arcD-arcC). No virulence traits were identified in the genomic and phenotypic analyses. The results indicate that W. koreensis SK may be a promising starter culture for fermented vegetables or fruits at low temperature as well as a probiotic candidate.
