Saccharomyces boulardii to Prevent Antibiotic-Associated Diarrhea: A Randomized, Double-Masked, Placebo-Controlled Trial.
2015
Antibiotic-associated diarrhea is an important clinical problem, associated with morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs. Our randomized, placebo controlled multicenter trial do not support the efficacy of Saccharomyces boulardii in the prevention of antibiotic-associated diarrhea.
Impact of probiotic Saccharomyces boulardii on the gut microbiome composition in HIV-treated patients: A double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled…
2017
Dysbalance in gut microbiota has been linked to increased microbial translocation, leading to chronic inflammation in HIV-patients, even under effective HAART. Moreover, microbial translocation is associated with insufficient reconstitution of CD4+T cells, and contributes to the pathogenesis of immunologic non-response. In a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial, we recently showed that, compared to placebo, 12 weeks treatment with probiotic Saccharomyces boulardii significantly reduced plasma levels of bacterial translocation (Lipopolysaccharide-binding protein or LBP) and systemic inflammation (IL-6) in 44 HIV virologically suppressed patients, half of whom (n = 22) had immun…
Does Probiotic Yeast Act as Antigenotoxin?
2005
The effect of probiotic yeast Saccharomyces boulardii on genotoxicity induced by the well-known mutagen 4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide (4-NQO), as well as antibacterial (furazolidone) and antibiotic (nalidixic acid) drugs, has been studied using the short-term bacterial assay, SOS chromotest, with Escherichia coli PQ 37 as the test organism. It has been shown that S. boulardii possesses antigenotoxic activity, revealed by SOS chromotest, when coincubated with these genotoxins. A weaker antigenotoxic activity against the same compounds was observed with S. carlsbergensis, too.
In vitro differentiation of murine hematopoietic progenitor cells toward the myeloid lineage occurs in response to Staphylococcus aureus and yeast sp…
2013
We have studied the effect of inactivated microbial stimuli (Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, Saccharomyces boulardii, and Staphylococcus aureus) on the in vitro differentiation of lineage negative (Lin−) hematopoietic progenitor mouse cells. Purified Lin− progenitors were co-cultured for 7 days with the stimuli, and cell differentiation was determined by flow cytometry analysis. All the stimuli assayed caused differentiation toward the myeloid lineage. S. boulardii and particularly C. glabrata were the stimuli that induced in a minor extent differentiation of Lin− cells, as the major population of differentiated cells corresponded to monocytes, whereas C. albicans and S. aureus induced …
<em>Saccharomyces boulardii</em>: probiotic yeast for craft beer production, growth analysis and biovolume estimation
2018
In recent years, an increase in the consumer interest has been observed for craft beers, which are unpasteurized and unfiltered. Thus, the use of probiotic starters remaining in the craft beers could significantly increase health benefits. Here, the first study on the use of the probiotic Sacharomyces boulardii (Sb) yeast as single starter for craft brewing at 20 L scale is presented. The probiotic biomass growth was studied in bioreactor batch culture and modelled by the logistic and Gompertz equations. Finally, the probiotic biovolume of Sb was estimated from microscopy images. All these experiments were compared with those obtained with a commercial Sacharomyces cerevisiae (Sc) yeast str…
Saccharomyces boulardii preparātu aprites salīdzinājums Rīgas aptiekās
2019
Probiotikas ir dzīvi mikroorganismi, kas uzlabo cilvēka veselību. Rauga sēņu Saccharomyces boulardii probiotiku efektivitāte aprakstīta vairākos dubultaklajos klīniskajos pētījumos. Maģistra darba mērķis bija noskaidrot, cik plaši patērēti Saccharomyces boulardii saturošie preparāti trīs Rīgas aptiekās, un kā mainās to lietošanas tendences laika periodā 03.01.2016. – 31.12.2018. Ar aptaujas anketu palīdzību noskaidroju, kādas probiotikas un kādam nolūkam iesaka farmaceiti un farmaceita asistenti, vai uzskata, ka tās lietošana var labvēlīgi ietekmēt kopējo veselības stāvokli, vai ir zināmas nemedikamentozās iespējas, kā normalizēt zarnu mikrofloru. Iegūtie dati liecina, ka visbiežāk pārdotai…
Saccharomyces boulardii lietošanas un aprites apskats Rīgas aptiekā 2016. gadā
2017
Probiotiķi tiek definēti kā dzīvi mikroorganismi, kas dod veselības ieguvumus tā uzņēmējam. Rauga šūnas Saccharomyces boulardii tika konstatētas kā efektīvs probiotiķis vairākos dubultaklajos klīniskajos pētījumos. Bakalaura darba mērķis bija veikt Saccharomyces boulardii saturošo preparātu aprites analīzi Rīgas aptiekā 2016. gadā un noskaidrot iedzīvotāju informētību par Saccharomyces boulardii preparātiem. Darba gaitā tika konstatēts, ka cilvēki zina, kas ir probiotikas, un vairums uzskata, ka probiotiķu lietošana var labvēlīgi ietekmēt cilvēka kopējo veselības stāvokli. Ar aptaujas palīdzību tika konstatēts, ka lielākā daļa no respondentiem nezina kas ir Saccharomyces boulardii, bet pēc …
