Inactivation of bacteria via photosensitization of vitamin K3 by UVA light
This study investigated inactivation of bacteria with ultraviolet light A irradiation in combination with vitamin K3 as a photosensitizer. Six bacteria including Bacillus cereus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli suspended in vitamin K3 aqueous solution were exposed to ultraviolet light A. Five out of six bacteria, with the exception of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, were reduced by eight logs with 1600 μM of vitamin K3 and 5.8 J cm−2 UVA irradiation. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was reduced by four logs under these conditions. Reactive oxygen specie...

Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis BI07 modulates the tumor necrosis factor alpha‐dependent imbalances of the enterocyte‐associated intestinal microbiota fraction
Abstract Using a previously developed in vitro model to characterize the enterocyte‐adherent microbiota fraction, we explored the potential of the probiotic strain Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis BI07 to modulate the inflammation‐dependent dysbioses of the enterocyte‐adherent microbiota from 12 healthy human donors. According to our findings, B. animalis ssp. lactis BI07 is effective in limiting the increase of pro‐inflammatory pathobionts on the inflamed mucosal site, supporting the recovery of a mutualistic community. Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis BI07, a well‐known probiotic strain, has shown t...
