We aimed to find out if probiotic supplements like lactobacillus acidophilus could help counteract the negative effects of iron fortification, which has been linked to increased diarrhea and food poisoning among children.
In our study with weaning mice, we discovered that high iron diets led to more severe symptoms when infected with Salmonella.
However, when we added lactobacillus acidophilus beforehand, the mice showed less severe symptoms and better intestinal health.
This suggests that probiotics can really help protect gut health against the adverse effects of iron supplements during foodborne infections.

We investigated how a specific strain of Lactococcus lactis can help prevent food poisoning caused by a common pathogen found in raw milk and cheese. Our results showed a significant decrease in pathogen levels—by around 3 log CFU/mL—within just six hours when this strain was present.
Even more promising, it reduced the production of staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) by 79%. In cheeses made with Lactococcus lactis, SEA was never detected, while it was found in higher levels in cheeses made without this protective strain. This study clearly shows Lactococcus lactis's potential in enhancing food safety through biopreservation.

Lactococcus lactis vaccine shows efficacy
We explored how Lactococcus lactis, when engineered to produce a harmless version of staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB), can offer protection against food poisoning caused by Staphylococcus aureus. In our study, mice that received the oral vaccine developed strong immune responses and were better able to survive challenging infections. Those immunized had significantly reduced bacterial counts in their spleen and higher levels of protective antibodies. This promising approach highlights the potential of using modified bacteria as vaccines against foodborne illnesses.

Probiotics reduce Salmonella colonization
We looked at how an avian-specific probiotic could help reduce food poisoning risks linked to Salmonella Enteritidis in poultry. Our study used chicks that received a special probiotic treatment and compared them to a control group.
The results showed a marked decrease in Salmonella Enteritidis colonization in the treated chicks over several days, especially at days 3, 7, and beyond. However, body weight gains appeared similar between both groups.
Overall, our findings suggest that using Lactobacillus acidophilus as part of the treatment may effectively lower Salmonella risks in broilers.

We explored the effectiveness of a synbiotic treatment combining Bifidobacterium longum and xylo-oligosaccharides in fighting Campylobacter jejuni, a major cause of food poisoning. The treatment was administered either from day one or day fourteen of the chicks' lives.
Our findings showed that early supplementation led to a significant reduction in C. jejuni levels compared to later treatment. However, Bifidobacterium levels did not significantly differ among treatment groups. These results suggest that early synbiotic use alongside other safety measures could help improve poultry meat safety.

We aimed to see how a synbiotic mixture might help reduce Campylobacter jejuni, a harmful bacteria often found in poultry, which can cause food poisoning in humans. Through our research, we provided broiler chickens with a blend of prebiotics and a specific strain of Bifidobacterium longum.
After 14 days, we observed a significant reduction in C. jejuni levels in the feces of treated chickens. This suggests that such synbiotic treatments could be an effective strategy for enhancing poultry safety and reducing foodborne illnesses linked to poultry products.

We explored the effectiveness of two probiotic strains, specifically Lactobacillus plantarum PCS 20 and Bifidobacterium longum PCB 133, in reducing Campylobacter jejuni in poultry. After thorough screening of 55 bacteria for their ability to combat this common pathogen, B. longum was found to thrive in the chickens' digestive systems after two weeks, while L. plantarum was undetectable. Most importantly, B. longum significantly lowered C. jejuni levels in feces, suggesting its potential as a feed additive to improve food safety.

We explored whether Lactobacillus acidophilus, in both live and heat-killed forms, could protect against Salmonella-induced food poisoning. For two weeks, Sprague-Dawley rats received oral doses of L. acidophilus before being exposed to Salmonella.
The rats treated with heat-killed bacteria showed only a moderate rise in body temperature and maintained normal feeding and drinking habits. Although the number of Salmonella in feces was similar in both groups, heat-killed L. acidophilus significantly reduced inflammatory markers compared to the control group.
While it appears L. acidophilus may aid in managing Salmonella infections, it’s important to note that its overall impact may be limited.

Protective cultures reduce food poisoning risk
This study explored how protective cultures, specifically Lactococcus lactis, can combat the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, a major cause of food poisoning found in milk. We found that when Lactococcus lactis was used alongside other cultures, it effectively reduced S. aureus counts in raw milk and lowered harmful enterotoxin production significantly.
For example, Lc. lactis was shown to decrease enterotoxin levels in both raw milk and lab conditions even without inhibiting pathogen growth. Overall, the findings suggest that such protective cultures could be valuable tools for producers to enhance food safety.
