TLDR
The intestinal microbiota, epithelium, and immune system provide resistance to enteric pathogens, and recent data suggest that resistance is not solely due to the sum of the components, but that cross-talk between these components is also involved in modulating this resistance.About:

Effects of Probiotics, Prebiotics, and Synbiotics on Human Health.
TL;DR: This paper provides a review of available information and summarises the current knowledge on the effects of probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics on human health, and verified study results proving their efficacy in human nutrition are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
History of the Use of Antibiotic as Growth Promoters in European Poultry Feeds
TL;DR: The European support to recommendations of the World Health Organization, the Food and Agriculture Organization, and the World Organization for Animal Health for a ban on antimicrobial use in animal feeds is expected to favor other countries also phase out these substances out.

Daniel L. Merrifield,Arkadios Dimitroglou,Andrew D. Foey,Simon J. Davies,R.T.M. Baker,Jarl Bøgwald,Mathieu Castex,Einar Ringø +7 more
TL;DR: The application of probiotics and prebiotics may result in elevated health status, improved disease resistance, growth performance, body composition, reduced malformations and improved gut morphology and microbial balance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Probiotics and prebiotics in animal feeding for safe food production
TL;DR: The current knowledge on the contribution of the gut microbiota to host well-being is discussed and available information on probiotics and prebiotics and their application in animal feeding is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of dietary inclusion of probiotic and synbiotic on growth performance, organ weights, and intestinal histomorphology of broiler chickens
TL;DR: The dietary supplementations resulted in an increase in the villus height and crypt depth of intestinal mucosa of broilers and associated with improvement of growth performance for both synbiotic and probiotic.

Dietary Modulation of the Human Colonic Microbiota: Introducing the Concept of Prebiotics
TL;DR: By combining the rationale of pro- and prebiotics, the concept of synbiotics is proposed to characterize some colonic foods with interesting nutritional properties that make these compounds candidates for classification as health-enhancing functional food ingredients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Probiotics in man and animals
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used probiotic treatments to re-establish the natural condition which exists in the wild animal but which has been disrupted by modern trends in conditions used for rearing young animals, including human babies, and in modern approaches to nutrition and disease therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Analysis of Commensal Host-Microbial Relationships in the Intestine
TL;DR: Coloring germ-free mice with Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron reveals that this commensal bacterium modulates expression of genes involved in several important intestinal functions, including nutrient absorption, mucosal barrier fortification, xenobiotic metabolism, angiogenesis, and postnatal intestinal maturation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of Probiotic Cultures in the Control of Gastrointestinal Health
TL;DR: Probiotics represent an exciting prophylactic and therapeutic advance, although additional investigations must be undertaken before their role in intestinal health can be delineated clearly.

Microbial modulation of innate defense: goblet cells and the intestinal mucus layer
Bart Deplancke,H. R. Gaskins +1 more
TL;DR: The present review summarizes the results of developmental, gnotobiotic, and in vitro studies that showed alterations in mucin gene expression, mucus composition, or mucus secretion in response to intestinal microbes or host-derived inflammatory mediators.
