Recherche doctorale à la faculté de médecine vétérinaire de l’Université de Gand et à la faculté de bio-ingénierie de l’Université d’Anvers, en collaboration avec YUN N.V. L’objectif général de cette recherche est de cartographier le microbiome auriculaire chez le chien sain, d’évaluer l’influence de la DAC sur ce microbiome auriculaire et de développer un produit […]

Authors: Sarah Lebeer, Jos Vanderleyden, and Sigrid C. J. De Keersmaecker “Lactobacilli have been crucial for the production of fermented products for centuries. They are also members of the mutualistic microbiota present in the human gastrointestinal and urogenital tract. Recently, increasing attention has been given to their probiotic, health-promoting capacities. Many human intervention studies demonstrating

Authors: Sarah Lebeer, Jos Vanderleyden & Sigrid C. J. De Keersmaecker “How can probiotic bacteria transduce their health benefits to the host? Bacterial cell surface macromolecules are key factors in this beneficial microorganism–host crosstalk, as they can interact with host pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) of the gastrointestinal mucosa. In this Review, we highlight the documented

Authors: Lize Delanghe, Irina Spacova, Joke Van Malderen, Eline Oerlemans, Ingmar Claes, Sarah Lebeer “The human skin microbiota forms a key barrier against skin pathogens and is important in modulating immune responses. Recent studies identify lactobacilli as endogenous inhabitants of healthy skin, while inflammatory skin conditions are often associated with a disturbed skin microbiome. Consequently,

There are few in vivo trials using probiotics as a single treatment for acute Candida vulvovaginitis (CV). In this open-label, proof-of-concept study,
