GUT : How sterile is it? – AC
Sterile at birth…
Gut Microbiota
Number of intestinal microbial cells is 10 times greater
than the number of human body cells
Approximately 150 times larger than the human gene
complement, with an estimated set of 3.3 million
microbial gene
Bacteroides
Firmicutes
Fusobacteria
Verrucomicrobia
Proteobacteria
Cyanobacteria
Actinobacteria
Infant feeding: Role in development of
GUT microbiota - GM
Infant feeding – Role in devpt of
microbiota
• Best microbiota in babies born by vaginal
delivery , roomed-in with mother & breast-fed
• Worst in ceasarian delivery, admitted in ICU,
formula-fed and administered IV antibiotics
GUT Microbiota a Vital organ – BS
Microbial ecosystem
• Upto 100 trillion bacteria - 500 different species
• Outnumber human somatic and germ cells by 10
fold
• Marked microbial diversity among different
individuals

microbial composition
• Determined by genetic and environmental
factors

GUT Microbiota in Growth and
Development – GM
GUT microbiota in growth and
development
• Gut and microbiotia – symbiotic relationship
• Modulates gut immune system via “ crosstalk”
• In the newborn period commensal bacteria
provide the immune system with stimuli
which causes maturation
• If you get the right bacteria – prevents a
number of AI conditions, atopy, allergy etc
GUT dysbiosys – Good, Bad and Ugly –
JJ
Good
• Dysbiosis is a state in which the microbiota becomes
altered due to an alteration in the composition of the
microbiota, a change in bacterial metabolic activity
and/or a shift in local distribution of communities.
• Role in several diseases.
• Factors altering the gastrointestinal ecosystem include
• antibiotics,
• psychological and physical stresses,
• radiation,
• altered peristalsis and
• dietary changes
Bad

Probiotic, Prebiotic and Synbiotic –
The concept – AC
Probiotic means for life…
WHO definition(2001): “Live micro-organisms which,
when administered in adequate amounts, confer a
health benefit on the host”

with
lactobacilli

by microorganisms. Science 147:747-748

Prebiotic
Definition: “A dietary prebiotic is a selectively fermented
ingredient that results in specific changes, in the composition
and/or activity of the gastrointestinal microbiota, thus conferring
benefit(s) upon host health.”
They are dietary fibers with a wellestablished positive impact on the intestinal
microflora
Term coined by
Glen Gibson 1995
Non-digestible Oligosaccharides
Inulin
Oligofructose
(trans)galactooligosaccharides
Synbiotics
Selection of a Probiotic candidate –

species, and an alphanumeric designation
An ideal probiotic

system
• Able to attach to the intestinal epithelia and colonise.
• Able to maintain good viability
• Able to utilise the nutrients and substrates in a normal
diet
• Non pathogenic and non toxic
• Capable of exerting a benificial effect on the host
• Stability of desired characteristics during processing,
storage and transportation
Clinically Useful strains

– ramnosus
– Acidophilus
• Streptococcus sp.
• Bifidobacterium sp.
– Infantis (breastmilk)
– lactis
– longum

studies in human beings
Labeling Requirements

• Serving size
• Storage conditions
Mechanism of action of Probiotics JJ
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Antimicrobial actions:
Inhibit growth of pathogenic enteric bacteria by:
Decreasing luminal pH
Secreting bactericidal proteins
Resisting colonisation
Competing for nutrients with pathogens
Modifying pathogen-derived toxins
Stimulating defensin production
Blocking epithelial binding
Stimulating mucus production
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Barrier function:
Improve epithelial and mucosal barrier function by:
Producing SCFAs
Increase barrier integrity
Enhance mucus production
Immune function:
Alter host immune response by:
Modulating cytokine profiles - induce IL-10 and TGF-
secretion and decrease TNF and IFN- expression
Activating local macrophages and increase secretory IgA
production both locally and systemically
Activating Treg cells
Inducing hyporesponsiveness to food antigens
Dampening inflammatory responses
Daily Kerala diet; Is it probiotic rich?
GM
Daily Kerala Diet – is it probiotic rich?
• Traditional fare –
– Fermented rice
– Healthy and “prebiotic rich”
• Newer diets
– Neither healthy nor probiotic rich
– Added probiotics may benefit

all the same? AC

Indications of Probiotics in infants and
Children GM
Indications of probiotics in Infants an
children
• Definite indications
– Antibiotic induced diarrhoea
(Probiotics for the Prevention and Treatment of Antibiotic-Associated Diarrhea - A
Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. JAMA. 2012)
– Traveller’s diarrhoea
– Rotaviral Diarrhoea
– Necrotizing Enterocolitis
(Probiotics Reduce All-Cause Mortality and Necrotizing Enterocolitis. Pediatrics 2010)
• Other indications ( Value not proven)
– IBD
– IBS
– H Pylori
Dosage and Administration of
Probiotics; Issues to consider JJ
• Pay close attention to the strain (not just the genus
and species).
• Different probiotic strains exert their beneficial
effects via different mechanisms and may be
synergistic with other microbiota.
• Studies have used doses ranging from 2 × 107 colonyforming units (CFU) per day to 3.2 × 1012 CFU per
day.
• No uniform dosing recommendations.
• Frequency can range from twice daily to intermittent
weekly.
• Probiotic strains are generally safe.
• Lactobacilli and bifidobacteria are normal
commensals of the GI tract.
• Because probiotics are viable microorganisms, they
have the potential to cause invasive infections in
hosts with compromised mucosal epithelia.
• Should be used with caution in children, elderly
persons and individuals with major risk factors.

Fecal Transplantation JJ
• Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is the
process of transplantation of fecal bacteria from a
healthy individual into a recipient.
• Involves restoration of colonic flora by introducing
healthy bacterial flora through infusion of stool from
a healthy human donor.
• First description of FMT published in 1958 by
Eiseman and colleagues, surgeons from Colorado,
who treated four critically ill patients with fulminant
pseudomembranous colitis.
• Hypothesis behind FMT rests on concept of bacterial
interference.
• Production of antimicrobial agents (Bacteriocins) by
the introduced colonic flora.
• Highly effective in treating recurrent C. difficile, and
more effective than vancomycin alone.
• Also used to treat other conditions including
ulcerative colitis, constipation, irritable bowel
syndrome and neurological conditions like multiple
sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease.
• Single to multiple infusions.
• Donors tested for a wide array of bacterial and
parasitic infections.
• Infusions administered via various routes depending
on suitability and ease - enema, colonoscope.
• Modified form of fecal bacteriotherapy (Autologous
Restoration of Gastrointestinal Flora - ARGF)
• Autologous fecal sample provided by the patient
before medical treatment is stored. Should the
patient develop C. difficile, the sample is extracted
with saline and filtered. The filtrate is freeze dried
and enclosed in enteric coated capsules.
