A dramatic reduction in mortality among people living with HIV (PLWH) has been achieved during the modern antiretroviral therapy (ART) era. However, ART does not restore gut barrier function even after long-term viral suppression, allowing microbial products to enter the systemic blood circulation and induce chronic immune activation. In PLWH, a chronic state of systemic inflammation exists and persists, which increases the risk of development of inflammation-associated non-AIDS comorbidities such as metabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer...

Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) has become a major health risk and a serious worldwide issue. MAFLD typically arises from aberrant lipid metabolism, insulin resistance, oxidative stress, and inflammation. However, subjacent causes are multifactorial. The gut has been proposed as a major factor in health and disease, and over the last decade, bacterial strains with potentially beneficial effects on the host have been identified. In vitro cell models have been commonly used as an early step before in vivo drug assessment and can confer complementary advantages in gut and liver health research...

Staphylococcus aureus is considered one of the leading pathogens responsible for infections in humans and animals. The heterogeneous nature of diseases caused by these bacteria is due to the occurrence of multiple strains, differentiated by several mechanisms of antibiotic resistance and virulence factors. One of these is the ability to form biofilm. Biofilm-associated bacteria exhibit a different phenotype that protects them from external factors such as the activity of immune system or antimicrobial substances...

Shiga toxin (stx), produced by enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) or Shigella, causes hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) in humans. EHEC-mediated illnesses are recommended to treat by immune supportive strategies, instead of antibiotic therapy. Widely used probiotic Lactobacillus casei produces many bioactive metabolites, i.e., conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs) which have potential to educate host immunity and control EHEC growth and expression of its virulence genes. In this study, it was found that total metabolites of L...
