Metabolomics analysis of the lactobacillus plantarum ATCC 14917 response to antibiotic stress.
Article in BMC microbiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundLactobacillus plantarum has been found to play a significant role in maintaining the balance of intestinal flora in the human gut. However, it is sensitive to commonly used antibiotics and is often incidentally killed during treatment. We attempted to identify a means to protect L. plantarum ATCC14917 from the metabolic changes caused by two commonly used antibiotics, ampicillin, and doxycycline. We examined the metabolic changes under ampicillin and doxycycline treatment and assessed the protective effects of adding key exogenous metabolites.
resultsUsing metabolomics, we found that under the stress of ampicillin or doxycycline, L. plantarum ATCC14917 exhibited reduced metabolic activity, with purine metabolism a key metabolic pathway involved in this change. We then screened the key biomarkers in this metabolic pathway, guanine and adenosine diphosphate (ADP). The exogenous addition of each of these two metabolites significantly reduced the lethality of ampicillin and doxycycline on L. plantarum ATCC14917. Because purine metabolism is closely related to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), the results showed that the addition of guanine or ADP reduced intracellular ROS levels in L. plantarum ATCC14917. Moreover, the killing effects of ampicillin and doxycycline on L. plantarum ATCC14917 were restored by the addition of a ROS accelerator in the presence of guanine or ADP.
conclusionsThe metabolic changes of L. plantarum ATCC14917 under antibiotic treatments were determined. Moreover, the metabolome information that was elucidated can be used to help L. plantarum cope with adverse stress, which will help probiotics become less vulnerable to antibiotics during clinical treatment.
