Gut modulation of dysbiosis induced by dextran sulfate sodium

Inflammatory bowel disease is one of the serious burdens of clinical medicine and healthcare. This study investigated the potential of a biological product based on mare's milk and metabolites of symbiotic micmflora for modulation of intestinal micmflora affected by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced dysbiosis. Symbiotic microflora was isolated from the stool of healthy volunteers. Lysates for the production of short-chain fatty acids of screened microorganisms were mixed with mare's milk. The activity of the biological product was evaluated on the DSS model of induced colitis. Histological changes in the intestinal epithelium were determined. The structure of the microbiome was evaluated based on the analysis of 16S rRNA microbial sequences. Histological examination of rat intestinal tissues after application of the biological product showed reduced infiltration of granulocytes, macrophages, and lymphocytes. The results of sequencing demonstrated a decrease in the biological diversity of microbiota affected by colitis. The full recovery was observed after 21 days of the application of the biological product. The product induced the structural changes of the microbiome damaged by DSS. Likewise, the number of the pathogenic intestinal microflora was decreased Representatives of SCFA producing bacteria increased concentrations of genus Lactobacillus.
