Abstract:Objective To investigate the ability of Lactobacillus plantarum L2 to prevent intestinal ischemia and reperfusion induced bacterial translocation.Methods 32 SD rats were randomly divided into four groups: sham, Lactobacillus intragastric administration, ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) model, Lactobacillus pre-treatment and I/R model. The bacterial translocation, changes of gut microflora, levels of proinflammatory cytokines in plasma and intestinal morphology were observed.Results The increase in bacterial translocation was significant after 4 h I/R treatment (P<0.01) as compared with sham-operated group. There were obvious pathological changes of mucosal morphology in I/R rats and the number of anaerobic bacteria such as Bifidobacteria, Lactobacillus and Bacteroides was significantly reduced. The level of TNF-α in plasma was increased after I/R injury. Lactobacillus plantarum treatment alone had no effect on intestinal barrier function. However, pretreatment of rats with Lactobacillus plantarum L2 significantly abrogated I/R induced intestinal mucosal injury and prevented translocation of bacteria to mesenteric lymph nodes or to remote organs.ConclusionsLactobacillus plantarum L2 has the ability to prevent bacterial translocation and attenuate I/R induced intestinal injury.
