Summary

Researchers found that infection with Staphylococcus aureus, a common harmful bacterium, disrupts the normal balance of gut microbiota in mice, but that treatment with a mix of beneficial lactic acid bacteria (LAB) — similar to probiotics — helped prevent the infection and restore a healthier gut microbial community. This highlights the potential of probiotic bacteria to protect gut health against pathogenic disruption.

Staphylococcus aureus destroys the stable intestinal microbiota structure of mice, treatment with mixed LAB could prevent S. aureus infection in mice and improve the structure of the intestinal microbiota.
