“…Moreover, the production of antibacterial agents is considered an important factor in the transformation of bacteria and effectiveness of probiotic bacteria [38], as the product of bacteriocin bacteria is important for the selection of probiotic bacteria. Studies have shown that Lactobacillus strains play a positive role in protecting the host from urinary tract infections (UTI) [39]. For example, Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR1h has been reported to bind well to epithelial cells, especially in breast epithelial cells [40].…”

Probiotics are live bacteria, most commonly belonging to the Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium genera, although strains of other species are also commercially available and beneficial to the host. From an antibiotic perspective, probiotics have been shown to reduce the risk of certain infections, such as certain types of gastro-intestinal, respiratory and other reproductive infections. This may be accompanied by a reduced need for antibiotics for secondary infections. Although antibiotics appear to be effective against most infections, resistance is increasing among bacteria. Probiotics are specifically selected to prevent cross-contamination or transmission of antibiotic resistance. It is recommended to use probiotics together with antibiotics to reduce incidence, duration and/or severity of antibiotic resistance. This provides better compatibility with antibiotics and thus reduces the development of resistance. The extent to which probiotics directly reduce the spread of antibiotics resistance has not yet been fully studied. However, maintaining the balance of the microbiome while using antibiotics has been the potential to reduce infection and consequently resistance. Probiotics may reduce the need for antibiotics thus the risk of infection. Key words: Probiotics, Antibiotic-resistant bacteria, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Lactobacillus, Antimicrobial resistance

“…Тому актуальним напрямом досліджень є розроблення і впровадження в практику бджільництва екологічно безпечних заходів і препаратів комплексної дії для профілактики і лікування інфекційних хвороб бджіл. Такий підхід може реалізовуватися як спільним застосуванням низки відповідних заходів і засобів, так і одним препаратом комплексної дії (Kaur et al, 2021;Hordiienko et al, 2022;Iefimenko et al, 2022). До таких засобів належать пробіотики.…”

Viral diseases of bees, in particular the sac brood, are an urgent problem of the industry, which brings great losses. The situation worsens in the case of parallel infestation of insects by the Varroa mite. Today, a complex approach is used for the treatment of viral diseases of bees, which is based on a connection of antiviral and antiparasitic measures in combination with drugs that have general strengthening and biostimulating effects. Nevertheless, the issue of developing ecologically safe and effective schemes for the prevention and treatment of bee diseases, in particular viral ones, is relevant today. In this work, the positive effect of using a specific probiotic for bees “Apinormin” for sac brood was investigated. Research in laboratory conditions was carried out on bees of the summer generation, selected into cages. The oral effect of the drug was determined by feeding bees with sugar syrup, the contact effect by spraying the body of insects with an aqueous solution in concentrations of 0.4; 0.8; 4.0; 8.0 %. Under natural conditions, the therapeutic effectiveness of a 4 % solution of “Apinormin” compared to the creation of an infertile period for the period of removal of queens for bee sac brood was determined. In laboratory conditions, the drug was proven to be harmless for bees when used orally in all tested concentrations. It has been established that “Apinormin” significantly increases the life expectancy of insects. Thus, feeding an 8 % probiotic solution slowed down the process of natural dying of bees from 7.24 to 27.75 % in the dynamics of observations. Under natural conditions, the drug did not show an antiviral effect. The effectiveness of the infertile period in the treatment of this viral disease is shown. The obtained positive effect of “Apinormin” on the life extension of bees and the presence of a number of biologically active compounds in its composition serve as a basis for the use of the drug to increase the strength and productivity of families, in case of stress, protein starvation, various technological violations of maintenance and the development of schemes for the prevention and treatment of bacterial diseases of bees. The expediency of using the infertile period for the period of removal of the queens in the following studies, both for self-administration and for working out the schemes of complex therapy of infectious diseases of bees together with the appropriate veterinary drugs, is substantiated.

“…FAO/WHO developed the first definition for probiotics: “live microorganisms which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host” ( Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations/World Health Organization, 2002 ). A probiotic strain should have the following characteristics to confer benefits to the host ( Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations/World Health Organization, 2002 ; Hill et al, 2014 ; Nagpal et al, 2018 ; Binda et al, 2020 ; Kaur et al, 2021 ; Rastogi et al, 2021 ): (1) isolated from a human, (2) lacking in putative virulence genes, (3) sensitive to common antibiotics, (4) tolerant to GI conditions, (5) catalase-negative, (6) able to adhere to the intestinal epithelial membrane, (7) able to compete with native gut microbiota, and (8) able to directly or indirectly inhibit the growth and colonization of potentially pathogenic bacteria. Research into probiotics has quickly expanded, with over 32,000 articles being published between 2002 and 2021 using the term “probiotic,” but proving the health benefits of probiotics, such as improving gut health after the consumption of probiotics, is challenging.…”

Cronobacter species, in particular C. sakazakii, is an opportunistic bacterial pathogen implicated in the development of potentially debilitating illnesses in infants (<12months old). The combination of a poorly developed immune system and gut microbiota put infants at a higher risk of infection compared to other age groups. Probiotics and prebiotics are incorporated in powdered infant formula and, in addition to strengthening gut physiology and stimulating the growth of commensal gut microbiota, have proven antimicrobial capabilities. Postbiotics in the cell-free supernatant of a microbial culture are derived from probiotics and can also exert health benefits. Synbiotics, a mixture of probiotics and prebiotics, may provide further advantages as probiotics and gut commensals degrade prebiotics into short-chain fatty acids that can provide benefits to the host. Cell-culture and animal models have been widely used to study foodborne pathogens, but sophisticated gut models have been recently developed to better mimic the gut conditions, thus giving a more accurate representation of how various treatments can affect the survival and pathogenicity of foodborne pathogens. This review aims to summarize the current understanding on the connection between Cronobacter infections and infants, as well as highlight the potential efficacy of probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics in reducing invasive Cronobacter infections during early infancy.
