Abstract:
Probiotics, a class of live microorganisms, play an important role in anti-inflammation, regulating immunity and optimizing intestinal microecological environment. In this study, we constructed a combination of three strains - Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bacillus bulgaricus, and Bacillus subtilis - to ferment triple probiotics Bornlisy. Our findings indicate that Bornlisy has a significant therapeutic effect in alleviating colitis in mice, further proofing its ability to suppress inflammation in colon, enhance intestinal barrier function and restore imbalanced intestinal microbiome. Then we found Bornlisy could modulate immune response by inhibiting macrophage glycolysis and ultimately attenuated the progression of colitis in mice. Our investigation into the therapeutic efficacy of Bornlisy in colitis revealed that triple probiotics offer a promising approach for the management of intestinal inflammation.

A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the...
