A novel Bacillus aerolatus CX253 attenuates inflammation induced by Streptococcus pneumoniae in childhood and pregnant rats by regulating gut microbiome.
Article in Cellular and molecular life sciences : CMLS, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn) is the predominant pathogen responsible for community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in children under five years old, and it can induce over 17% of pregnant women. However, no more effective measures exist to prevent infection induced by Spn in these two special populations. The beneficial microbes can antagonize Spn and provide new targets for preventing pneumococcal infections. This study used 16S rRNA gene sequencing and targeted metabolomics to evaluate the role of the Bacillus aerolatus CX253 (CX253) in alleviating Spn infection. Additionally, the colonization of CX253 was observed in nose, trachea, and lung by using confocal laser scanning microscopy and fluorescent labeling techniques. Compared with the model group, the expression level of interleukin-1β was dropped 1.81-fold and 2.22-fold, and interleukin-6 was decreased 2.39-fold and 1.84-fold. The express of tumor necrosis factor-α was down 2.30-fold and 3.84-fold in prevention group of childhood and pregnant rats, respectively. The 16S rRNA sequencing results showed that CX253 administration alone significantly increased the abundance of Lactobacillus, Limosilactobacillus, and Prevotella in the gut of childhood and pregnant rats. Furthermore, the CX253 increased propionate in the gut of childhood rats and increased propionate and butyrate in the gut of pregnant rats to inhibit pulmonary inflammation. In summary, CX253 attenuated Spn-induced inflammation by regulating the gut microbiota and SCFAs. The research provides valuable information for the prevention of pneumonia.
