METHODS:H. pylori infection was diagnosed in 90 adult dyspeptic patients. Patients were excluded if previously treated for H. pylori infection or if they were taking a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), H2-receptor antagonist or antibiotics. Patients were assigned to receive one of the following therapies:(1) 7-d triple therapy (PPI plus clarithromycin and amoxicillin or metronidazole) plus L. reuteri supplementation dur- ing antibiotic treatment; (2) 7-d triple therapy plus L. reuteri supplementation after antibiotic treatment; (3) sequential regimen (5-d PPI plus amoxicillin therapy followed by a 5-d PPI, clarithromycin and tinidazole) plus L. reuteri supplementation during antibiotic treatment; and (4) sequential regimen plus L. reuteri supplementation after antibiotic treatment. Successful eradication therapy was defined as a negative urea breath test at least 4 wk following treatment. RESULTS:Ninety adult dyspeptic patients were en- rolled, and 83 (30 male, 53 female; mean age 57 ± 13 years) completed the study. Nineteen patients were administered a 7-d triple treatment:11 with L. reuteri supplementation during and 8 after therapy. Sixty-four patients were administered a sequential regimen:32 with L. reuteri supplementation during and 32 after therapy. The eradication rate was significantly higher in the sequential group compared with the 7-d triple regimen (88% vs 63%, P = 0.01). No difference was found between two types of PPI. No difference in erad- ication rates was observed between patients submitted to L. reuteri supplementation during or after antibiotic treatment. Compliance with therapy was excellent in all patients. No difference in adverse effects was observed between the different antibiotic treatments and between patients submitted to L. reuteri supplementation during and after antibiotic treatment. There was a low incidence of adverse effects in all groups of patients with sequential therapy, probably due to the presence of the L. reuteri supplementation. CONCLUSION:The sequential treatment regimen achieved a significantly higher eradication rate of H. pylori compared with standard 7-d regimen. L. reuteri supplementation could reduce the frequency and the intensity of antibiotic-associated side-effects.展开更多

Participants consumed daily a yogurt containing L. reuteri CRL 1098 or a placebo for four weeks, separated by a wash-out period. Total cholesterol, triacylglycerol, high-density (HDL) and low-density (LDL) lipoprotein levels were assessed at the beginning and at the end of each period. We found a statistically significant reduction of total (–7.86 g/dl) and LDL (–7.02 g/dl) cholesterol in absolute changes (before-after) as well as a decreasing trend in the group receiving the yogurt containing L. reuteri with respect to the placebo group, without detecting changes in HDL-cholesterol and triacylglycerol levels. Our results suggest that low amounts of yogurt (125 g/day) and low doses of the CRL 1098 strain (106 CFU) are sufficient to reduce total and LDL-cholesterol levels in hypercholesterolemic subjects.展开更多

The organism has been widely utilized as a probiotic in humans and animals for many years. In the present work L. reuteri DSM 12243;a high reuteri producer strain was molecularly characterized by 16SrRNA and RAPD analyses further, the probiotic properties including acid resistance, bile tolerance, adhesion to epithelial gastric cells, and antibiotic susceptibility were also assessed. Furthermore, the effect of pH on biomass production and metabolic profile of L. reuteri DSM 12246 in batch-culture was studied. The L. reuteri DSM 12246 showed a high similarity with L. reuteri strain I49 KR 36477 (100%) and type strain ATCC 55730 (99% of identity). The strain adhered well to CaCO2 cells and showed to be a highly resistance to acid juice (pH 3.0), with 0.7 log10 cfu/ml reduction in count after 60 min exposition. There is no significant change in the cell count after exposure to bile salts. In batch-cultures, at low pH values both glucose consumption and metabolites were low while the production of lactic acid was noticeable. Maximum biomass was reached at pH 5.5, with growth rate of μ = 0.641/h. The switch in pH values from 3.7 to 6.7 resulted in raising of glucose depletion as well as in the yield of acetate and ethanol. It is concluded that L. reuteri DSM 12246 was deemed as a successful candidate to be used as potential probiotic.展开更多
