Bacillus amyloliquefaciens TL106 protects mice against enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7‐induced intestinal disease through improving immune response, intestinal barrier function and gut microbiota J. Appl. Microbiol. (IF 3.066) Pub Date : 2020-12-01 C.L. Bao; S.Z. Liu; Z.D. Shang; Y.J. Liu; J. Wang; W.X. Zhang; B. Dong; Y.H. Cao
This study evaluated the effects of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens TL106, isolated from Tibetan pigs’ faeces, on the growth performance, immune response, intestinal barrier function, morphology of jejunum, caecum and colon, and gut microbiota in the mice with enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC)‐induced intestinal diseases.

Factors influencing the persistence of enteropathogenic bacteria in wetland habitats and implications for water quality J. Appl. Microbiol. (IF 3.066) Pub Date : 2020-12-04 L.K. Clairmont; A. Coristine; K.J. Stevens; R.M. Slawson
To better understand the persistence dynamics of enteropathogenic bacteria in freshwater wetland habitats, we constructed lab‐scale mesocosms planted with two different wetland plant species using a subsurface flow wetland design. Mesocosms were treated with either a high‐quality or a poor‐quality water source to examine the effects of water quality exposure and plant species on Escherichia coli, Salmonella
