Glutathione utilization in lactobacillus fermentum CECT 5716
No full textGlutathione, a tripeptide antioxidant, has recently been shown to be either utilized or synthesized by gram-positive bacteria, such as Lactic Acid Bacteria. Glutathione plays an important role in countering environmental stress, such as oxidative stress. In this study, cellular activity regarding glutathione in Lactobacillus fermentum CECT 5716 is characterized. We demonstrate that L. fermentum CECT 5716 has a better survival rate in the presence of glutathione under both oxidative and metal stress. As L. fermentum CECT 5716 does not possess the ability to synthesize glutathione, it shows the ability to uptake both reduced and oxidized glutathione from the environment, regenerate reduced glutathione from oxidized glutathione, and perform secretion of glutathione to the environment.U of I OnlyAuthor requested U of Illinois access only (OA after 2yrs) in Vireo ETD syste

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Assessment of infant formula and follow-on formula supplemented with Lactobacillus fermentum CECT 5716
Get PDFThe Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food Safety has at the request of the Norwegian Food Safety Authority performed an assessment of infant formula and follow-on formula with Lactobacillus fermentum CECT 5716.
In the assessment of L. fermentum CECT 5716 by the expert committee in EFSA, the panel considered that the strain is sufficiently characterized.
VKM is not aware of any data indicating that this strain has been the cause of human disease.
L. fermentum CECT5716 is fully susceptible to all antibiotics that are recommended EFSA and is considered safe with respect to absence of antimicrobial resistance genes.
The producer refers to two randomized clinical studies in healthy infants of 1-6months of age with respect to possible safety aspects, concluding that the L. fermentum CECT 5716 was well tolerated and safe for the groups examined. However, data concerning safety aspects specifically concerned with new-borns, or for immunocompromised infants are lacking.
The producer has submitted some data regarding possible long-term adverse effects of giving the strain daily as a “monoculture” over a prolonged period of time. These data are not sufficient to draw any conclusion regarding long-term safety of the strain.
It is supposed that the early composition of the human gastro-intestinal tract microbiota can have long-lasting functional effects. If that is the case, a daily supply of a “monoculture” of a single, specific strain such as L. fermentum CECT 5716, in large quantities over a prolonged period of time to age groups where the intestinal flora is still developing may therefore have unknown, but possible long-lasting adverse effects.

Beneficial Effects of Limosilactobacillus fermentum CECT 5716 Administration to Infants Delivered by Cesarean Section
No full textCesarean section (CS) disrupts the natural microbiota colonization process in infants, which might compromise immune system maturation, leading to a higher risk of infections. We evaluated the effect of the probiotic Limosilactobacillus (L.) fermentum CECT 5716 on the incidence of gastrointestinal and respiratory infections in the CS infant subgroups (n = 173) of three randomized clinical trials in which this probiotic strain was demonstrated to be safe and effective for preventing infections. Therefore, the data for the CS infants were extracted to obtain the incidence rate ratio (IRR) and 95% CI for gastrointestinal and respiratory infections for each study and were then combined to obtain a pooled IRR and 95% CI using the generic inverse variance method. There was a significant reduction of 73% in the incidence of gastrointestinal infections in CS infants receiving L. fermentum CECT 5716 compared with those receiving the control formula [n = 173, IRR: 0.27 (0.13, 0.53), p = 0.0002]. Regarding respiratory infections, although pooled results showed a reduction of 14% in the probiotic group, the difference was not statistically significant [n = 173, IRR (95% CI): 0.86 (0.67, 1.11), p = 0.25]. In conclusion, the administration of L. fermentum CECT 5716 to CS-born infants protects them from gastrointestinal infections by reducing the risk by up to 73% in this population
