Abstract

The yeast Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745 is one of the probiotics recommended for the prevention of antibiotic-associated diarrhea.Studies conducted in vivo and in vitro demonstrated that in the case of infectious diseases there are two potential sites of action of Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745: (1) An action on enteropathogenic microorganisms (adhesion of bacteria and their elimination or an effect on their virulence factors: Toxins, lipopolysaccharide, etc.); and (2) a direct action on the intestinal mucosa (trophic effects, effects on epithelial reconstitution, anti-secretory effects, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulators).Oral administration of Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745 to healthy subjects does not alter their microbiota.However, in the case of diseases associated with the use of antibiotics or chronic diarrhea, Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745 can restore the intestinal microbiota faster.The interaction of Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745 with the innate immune system have been recently demonstrated thus opening up a new therapeutic potential of this yeast in the case of diseases associated with intestinal infections but also other pathologies associated with dysbiosis such as inflammatory diseases.

Figure 7 Effect of Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745 on intestinal mononuclear phagocytes: Dendritic cells expressing CD103 (CD103+DC) and macropahge expressing the fractalkine receptor (CX3CR1MΦs). A.CD103+DC which expresses the CCR7 on their surface phagocytes the Salmonella (ST) and migrate to the mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN). CX3CR1MΦs which have a high phagocytosis capacity, include bacteria, do not migrate, but remain in the LP where they stimulate T lymphocytes. These MΦs are able to form extensions that pass between the epithelial cells and capture the antigens in the intestinal lumen, among other pathogenic bacteria such as ST. Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745 induces the recruitment of CX3CR1MΦs and promotes phagocytosis of ST by these cells. S. boulardii CNCM I-745 effects the expansion of Ly6C inflammatory monocytes, which are the precursors of CX3CR1 DCs in the bone marrow. In addition, S. boulardii CNCM I-745 reduces the number of ST that migrate to MLN by decreasing the number of migratory DCs. B.In vitro studies have shown that S. boulardii CNCM I-745 can modify lipopolysaccharide activation of migratory DCs. This effect would be due to a molecule of low molecular weight (< 3 kDa) present in S. boulardii CNCM I-745 conditioned medium[64].

Figure 8 Diagram illustrating the impact of Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745 on dysbiosis during antibiotic therapy. A 2-wk treatment with antibiotics (red zone of the graph) induces a sudden decrease in the dominant bacterial populations of the microbiota (blue curve). Treatment with Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745 during antibiotic therapy (red curve) reduces the sudden decrease in bacterial populations. When S. boulardii CNCM I-745 is administered after antibiotic therapy (green zone of the graph, green curve) the yeast accelerates the restoration of the intestinal flora to its initial level. An optimal use of yeast would be administration during and after antibiotic therapy, which is presented by the hatched curve resulting from the red and green curve (from reference[75]).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
