[Objective]Maternal microbiota has been considered to play a key role in neonatal immune function, but the relevance of these findings to the immune health of piglets is largely unknown. This study aimed to search for immunobiotics that can enhance host defense as alternative to antibiotics, with lactobacilli isolated from maternal microbiota.
[Methods]The microbiome composition in breast milk, vaginal mucus, and feces was analyzed by 16S rRNA gene analysis. Lactobacilli was isolated from these samples, and the species were identified based on their 16S rRNA sequences. Gene expressions of innate immune factors in porcine intestinal epithelial cell stimulated by the isolates were investigated using RT-qPCR.
[Results]L. salivarius, L. helveticus, and L. reuteri were the dominant lactobacilli in milk and vaginal mucus. Several isolates had an ability to modulate NLRs and PGRPs gene expression. These results suggest that isolates from the maternal microbiota are capable of potentially modulating the neonatal innate immunity.
