Pharmacological Effects of Marine-Derived Enterococcus faecium EA9 against Acute Lung Injury and Inflammation in Cecal Ligated and Punctured Septic Rats

Abstract: Microorganisms obtained from the marine environment may represent a potential therapeutic value for multiple diseases. This study explored the possible protective role of marine-derived potential probiotic Enterococcus faecium EA9 (E. faecium) against pulmonary inflammation and oxidative stress using the cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) model of sepsis in Wistar rats. Animals were pretreated with E. faecium for 10 days before either sham or CLP surgeries. Animals were sacrificed 72 hours following the surgica… Show more

“…Organ weights in toxicity analyses are usually a very important parameter [90]. Lung weight is usually calculated in proportion to pulmonary edema [91]. In this study, the relative lung weight increased significantly after the use of 5-FU, which may be an effect of the significant increase in pulmonary areas with edema (Figure 5).…”

“…In this study, the relative lung weight increased significantly after the use of 5-FU, which may be an effect of the significant increase in pulmonary areas with edema (Figure 5). According to researchers, oxidative stress and the inflammatory process alter respiratory function, which results in pulmonary edema and the accumulation of inflammatory exudate [91,92]. In cases of lung injury, it is common to observe fibrosis (healing after injury), indicated by the abnormal accumulation of collagen in the extracellular tissue matrix [93].…”

“…These include aggregation substance protein, cell wall adhesins, gelatinase, cytolysin, enterococcal surface proteins, and hyaluronidase [ 3 , 4 ]. Due to their ability to produce bacteriocins called Enterocins, which are active against closely related pathogenic microorganisms, enterococci have garnered significant attention in recent years [ 5 , 6 ]. Enterocins are commonly highly effective against pathogens, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Listeria innocua, and Clostridium spp.…”
