Utilization of Synbiotics, Acidifiers, and a Polyanhydride Nanoparticle Utilization of Synbiotics, Acidifiers, and a Polyanhydride Nanoparticle Vaccine in Enhancing the Anti-Salmonella Immune Response in Laying Hens Post-Salmonella Challenge Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ashley D. Markazi, M.S. Graduate Program in Animal Sciences The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee: Ramesh K. Selvaraj, Advisor Michael S. Lilburn, Co-Advisor Renukaradhya Gourapura Lisa Bielke Copyright by Ashley D. Markazi 2018 ABSTRACT Salmonellosis, a zoonotic disease caused by the bacterium Salmonella, is most commonly attributed to the consumption of poultry eggs and meat. The current project examined the effects of drinking water synbiotics, in-feed acidifiers, and a polyanhydride nanoparticle Salmonella vaccine in enhancing the anti-Salmonella immune response and decreasing Salmonella infection in laying hens. The synbiotic experiment was conducted to study the effects of drinking water supplementation of synbiotic product in laying hens with and without a Salmonella challenge. A total of 384 one-day-old layer chicks were randomly distributed to the drinking water synbiotic supplementation or control groups. At 14 wk of age, the birds were vaccinated with a Salmonella vaccine, resulting in a 2 (control and synbiotic) X 2 (non-vaccinated and vaccinated) factorial arrangement of treatments. At 24 wk of age, half of the birds in the vaccinated groups and all the birds that were not vaccinated were challenged with Salmonella Enterica serotype Enteritidis, resulting in a 3 (vaccinated, challenged, vaccinated+challenged) X 2 (control and synbiotic) factorial arrangement. At 8 d post-Salmonella challenge, synbiotic supplementation decreased (P = 0.04) cecal S. Enteritidis in the challenge group compared to the un-supplemented challenge group. At 17 d post-Salmonella challenge, synbiotic supplementation increased bile anti- Salmonella IgA in the challenge group compared to the birds in the challenge group without synbiotic supplementation. The acidifier experiment was conducted to study the effects of ii acidifier supplementation in laying hens with and without a Salmonella challenge. A total of 384 one-day-old layer chicks were randomly distributed to the acidifier supplementation or control groups. At 14 wk of age, the birds were vaccinated with a Salmonella vaccine, resulting in a 2 (control and acidifier) X 2 (unvaccinated and vaccinated) factorial arrangement. At 24 wk of age, half of the birds in the vaccinated groups and all the birds that were not vaccinated were challenged with Salmonella Enterica serotype Enteritidis, resulting in a 3 (vaccinated, challenged, vaccinated+challenged) X 2 (control and acidifier) factorial arrangement. At 8 d post-Salmonella challenge, birds supplemented with acidifier in the challenge group had decreased (P = 0.04) cecal S. Enteritidis percentage compared to the challenge group without acidifier supplementation. At 22, 24, and 30 d post-Salmonella challenge, acidifier supplementation had higher (P < 0.01) plasma anti-Salmonella IgA titers in the challenge group compared to the challenge group without acidifier supplementation. The polyanhydride nanoparticle experiment analyzed the immunological effects of an oral Salmonella nanoparticle vaccine (OMPs-F-PNPs) loaded with Salmonella outer membrane proteins (OMPs) and flagellin proteins. At 6 wk of age, chickens were either orally vaccinated with PBS (Mock), soluble OMPs (0.05 mg) + flagellin (0.05 mg) in PBS (Antigen), or OMPs (0.05 mg) + flagellin (0.05 mg) loaded OMPs-F-PNPs suspension in 1 mL of sterile PBS (OMPs-F-PNPs). The same dose and route of delivery were repeated at 9 and 12 wk of age. At 15 wk of age, chickens were challenged with 1 x 109 CFU of live S. Enteritidis. Birds that were vaccinated with OMPs-F- PNPs had significantly (P < 0.01) higher serum and bile OMPs-specific IgG titers compared to that from the mock + challenge and the mock treatment groups. The OMPs-F-PNPs vaccinated iii birds had significantly fewer positive samples for cecal S. Enteritidis compared to that of the mock + challenge group. In conclusion, drinking water synbiotic supplementation, in-feed acidifier supplementation, and the polyanhydride Salmonella nanoparticle vaccine each resulted in significant increases in the anti-Salmonella immune response as measured by Salmonella- specific antibody titers and decreased Salmonella colonization in layer chickens. iv Dedication I dedicate my dissertation to my father, mother, and sister, who gave me constant encouragement in pursuing my goals in education. v Acknowledgements I would like to give my sincere thank you to my advisor, Dr. Ramesh Selvaraj, for providing me with the opportunity to receive my doctorate degree.

  • The International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP) Consensus Statement on the Definition and Scope of Synbiotics
    CONSENSUS STATEMENT OPEN The International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP) consensus statement on the definition and scope of synbiotics Kelly S. Swanson 1 ✉ , Glenn R. Gibson 2, Robert Hutkins3, Raylene A. Reimer 4, Gregor Reid 5, Kristin Verbeke 6,7, Karen P. Scott 8, Hannah D. Holscher 9, Meghan B. Azad 10, Nathalie M. Delzenne 11 and Mary Ellen Sanders 12 Abstract | In May 2019, the International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP) convened a panel of nutritionists, physiologists and microbiologists to review the definition and scope of synbiotics. The panel updated the definition of a synbiotic to “a mixture comprising live microorganisms and substrate(s) selectively utilized by host microorganisms that confers a health benefit on the host”. The panel concluded that defining synbiotics as simply a mixture of probiotics and prebiotics could suppress the innovation of synbiotics that are designed to function cooperatively. Requiring that each component must meet the evidence and dose requirements for probiotics and prebiotics individually could also present an obstacle. Rather, the panel clarified that a complementary synbiotic, which has not been designed so that its component parts function cooperatively, must be composed of a probiotic plus a prebiotic, whereas a synergistic synbiotic does not need to be so. A synergistic synbiotic is a synbiotic for which the substrate is designed to be selectively utilized by the co-administered microorganisms. This Consensus Statement further explores the levels of evidence (existing and required), safety, effects upon targets and implications for stakeholders of the synbiotic concept. Notable properties of the gut microbiota include its itself was formed from the Greek prefix ‘syn’, meaning functionality and resilience1.

  • Synbiotics Reduce Infectious Complications by Improving the Intestinal Milieu and Enhancing the Immune Function in Critically Ill Emergency Surgical Patients
    Original Contribution Kitasato Med J 2013; 43: 17-25 Synbiotics reduce infectious complications by improving the intestinal milieu and enhancing the immune function in critically ill emergency surgical patients Yuichi Kataoka,1 Tomomichi Kan'o,1 Takashi Asahara,2 Koji Nomoto,2 Kazui Soma1 1 Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine, Kitasato University School Medicine 2 Yakult Central Institute for Microbiological Research Objective: To determine the effects of synbiotics upon the intestinal milieu, immune response, and infection in critically ill patients. Methods: Thirty-two critically ill patients, who had undergone emergency surgery, were divided into two groups, those who started receiving enteral synbiotics (Lactobacillus casei strain Shirota and Bifidobacterium breve strain Yakult plus galactooligosaccharides; group S, n = 20) and those who did not receive enteral synbiotics (the control, group C, n = 12) within 48 hours of admission to the ICU and continuing for 14 days. Results: Baseline values were comparable between the two groups. NK (natural killer) cell activity and lymphocyte counts significantly increased in group S. C-reactive protein concentrations significantly decreased in both groups. White blood cell counts significantly decreased in group S, but remained unchanged in group C. Group S had more Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus and less Pseudomonas than group C in the stool samples after the trial. Concentrations of fecal organic, acetic, and propionic acids were significantly greater and the incidences of infectious complications were significantly lower in group S (25% vs. 75%, P < 0.01). The ICU stay was significantly shorter for group S. None of the patients died or developed adverse events. Conclusions: Synbiotics enhanced host immune function in critically ill emergency surgical patients, improved the intestinal milieu, and decreased the incidence of infectious complications.

Received: 18 December 2019; Accepted: 12 January 2020; Published: 15 January 2020 Abstract: This paper proposes the industrial validation of a functional strain of Lactobacillus plantarum (strain 178). First, acidification in a meat model medium and bioactivity towards Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella sp., Listeria monocytogenes, and Escherichia coli were assessed; the performances of Lb. plantarum 178 were compared to those of a commercial Lb. sakei and a probiotic Lb. casei. Lb. plantarum 178 inhibited the pathogens and experienced a higher acidification at 15 ◦C. Lb. casei and Lb. plantarum were used for an industrial fermentation of traditional Italian sausages. The strains assured the correct course of fermentation and inhibited pathogens and enterobacteria. This study represents the scaling up and the validation of a promising strain at industrial level and shows the possibility of performing the fermentation of traditional Italian sausage through functional starter cultures, combining the benefit of a controlled fermentation and possible health benefits. Keywords: functional starter cultures; meat; validation; Lactobacillus plantarum 1. Introduction The awareness of consumers of the importance of some foods in diet is increasing, along with the knowledge of the benefits derived from the use of certain microorganisms—therefore, thanks to new biotechnologies, some traditional processes have been modified to improve the quality of the final product.

Although much effort has been devoted to developing typhoid-based vaccines for humans, currently there is no NTS vaccine available. Presented here is the efficacy of a live attenuated serovar Typhimurium strain (NC983). Oral delivery of strain NC983 was capable of fully protecting C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice against challenge with virulent Typhimurium. Strain NC983 was found to elicit an anti-Typhimurium IgG response following administration of vaccine and boosting doses. Furthermore, in competition experiments with virulent S. Typhimurium (ATCC 14028), NC983 was highly defective in colonization of the murine liver and spleen. Collectively, these results indicate that strain NC983 is a potential live attenuated vaccine strain that warrants further development. Keywords: Salmonella typhimurium; NC983; vaccine; in vivo; infection; C57BL/6 mice; BALB/c mice; IgG 1. Introduction Foodborne pathogens are a group of infectious agents that threaten public health. Members of this diverse group contaminate food and water while being spread between the environment, agriculture animals, plants, and people.
