From: Lactobacillus salivarius reverse antibiotic-induced lung defense impairment in a ventilator model
FOS or dead L. salivarius feeding reversed antibiotic-induced reduction of PA phagocytic activity and activity of AMs in the ventilator model. a Antibiotic treatment decreased the PA phagocytic activity of AMs in a ventilator model and FOS or dead L. salivarius feeding after antibiotic treatment reversed them. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. b Antibiotic treatment decreased activity of AMs in the ventilator model and FOS or dead L. salivarius feeding after antibiotic treatment reversed them. AMs were stimulated with LPS and supernatants were assayed for TNF-α. Data are presented as mean ± SEM.; PA, P. aeruginosa; FOS, fructo-oligosaccharides; dLac, dead L. salivarius. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01
