DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions, and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] The present disclosure provides a probiotic composition for preventing, treating, or slowing an intestinal disease, wherein an active ingredient of the probiotic composition comprises a therapeutically effective amount of any one or a combination of two or more selected from the following: Bifidobacterium bifidum with the microbial deposit number of CCTCC NO: M 2023349 or a pure culture thereof, Enterococcus avium with the microbial deposit number of CCTCC NO: M 2023350 or a pure culture thereof, Lactobacillus salivarius with the microbial deposit number of CCTCC NO: M 2023348 or a pure culture thereof, Limosilactobacillus fermentum with the microbial deposit number of CCTCC NO: M 2023352 or a pure culture thereof, and Parabacteroides distasonis with the microbial deposit number of CCTCC NO: M 20222033 or a pure culture thereof.

[0040] The 5 strains with the specific microbial deposit numbers claimed in the present disclosure include, but are not limited to: (1) strains with the specific microbial deposit numbers deposited in the depository; (2) strains having the same genomes as the strains in (1); (3) passaged strains without gene mutations based on the aforementioned (1) or (2); (4) passaged strains that accumulate minor mutations during passaging, but have no substantial changes in toxicity, immunogenicity, and bioactivity based on the aforementioned (1), (2), or (3); (5) live bacteria, inactivated products of the live bacteria, lysates of the live bacteria, or fermentation products of the live bacteria based on any one of the aforementioned strains (1) to (4).

[0041] The strains having the same genome include, but are not limited to, strains having the same genetic background independently isolated and disclosed by others after the corresponding priority date of the present disclosure, i.e., strains isolated from nature or animals (including humans) having the same genome (the same genetic background). Conventional cultures are generally considered to be passaged strains without gene mutations. As is known in the art, minor mutations are generally inevitably introduced when strains are passaged. When the mutation occurs in a non-coding sequence region, or is a synonymous mutation in a coding region, or is a mutation that does not affect the toxicity, immunogenicity, and bioactivity of the strains (e.g., it may be a linker amino acid residue between two domains, or a residue of a minor mutation located within the higher-order structure of a protein that does not affect the toxicity, immunogenicity, and bioactivity due to the absence of contact with immune cells), it can be reasonably expected that the purposes of the present disclosure can still be achieved if these minor changes do not significantly affect the toxicity, immunogenicity, and bioactivity of the progeny strains, and these minor changes are derived from the strains contributed by the present disclosure and thus still fall within the substantial technical contribution of the present disclosure. These minor mutations are still insubstantial mutations, and the strains with these minor mutations should be considered as mutant strains that have no changes in toxicity, immunogenicity, and bioactivity. In terms of detection, there is no substantial change in toxicity, immunogenicity, and bioactivity, including but not limited to, being the same in toxicity, immunogenicity, and bioactivity within the limitations of detection sensitivity, limit of detection, and other detection techniques and within acceptable or inevitable errors. The toxicity, immunogenicity, and bioactivity of the progeny of the strains are determined using cells, animals, etc., and there is no substantial change due to differences in cell lines, animal species, age, sex, health status, culture conditions, and the like, as well as expected or inevitable systematic errors. The active ingredient refers to a substance that functions as a component to produce a biological effect. In the present disclosure, the active ingredient is a probiotic strain. Through the research on the co-culture characteristics of the five strains in the present disclosure, it can be found that these strains do not inhibit each other. Therefore, compositions containing 2, 3, 4, or 5 strains can be formulated according to the efficacy characteristics of these strains, and it is reasonably expected that the compositions formulated with these strains can simultaneously exert the efficacy of the strains in the group.

[0067] The present disclosure provides a composition in the form of a common food, a beverage, a healthcare product, a medical food, or a pharmaceutical product, which comprises the probiotic composition or the strain described in the present disclosure. These common foods, beverages, healthcare products, medical foods, or pharmaceutical products comprise various exemplary embodiments of the composition of the present disclosure. These common foods, beverages, healthcare products, medical foods, or pharmaceutical products may be prepared into or provided as probiotic powders, capsules, grains, baby foods, health foods, or foods for specific health uses, and may also be pharmaceutical capsules, tablets, powders, and the like. The probiotic composition of the present disclosure may further comprise other beneficial active ingredients, such as an additional probiotic with antidiarrheal function, prebiotics, or drugs. The prebiotics help to regulate the intestinal environment by promoting the growth of probiotics in the intestinal tract, thereby indirectly exerting an antidiarrheal effect. Examples of the second beneficial active ingredients include, but are not limited to, Bacillus licheniformis, Bifidobacterium, Clostridium butyricum, fructo-oligosaccharide, galacto-oligosaccharide, isomalto-oligosaccharide, xylo-oligosaccharide, mannan oligosaccharide, inulin, stachyose, soybean oligosaccharide, -glucan, lactosucrose, and the like.

[0068] Any one refers to optionally selecting a single option from the provided options. Two or more refers to optionally selecting two, three, . . . , or up to all available options from the provided options as selection schemes.

[0069] The intestinal disease refers to intestinal diseases such as infection, inflammation, diarrhea, or dysbacteriosis. In some embodiments, the intestinal disease refers to an infection caused by an intestinal pathogenic bacterium, colon injury, intestinal inflammation, intestinal barrier damage, and/or diarrhea.

[0070] In some embodiments, the intestinal disease is selected from an infection caused by an intestinal pathogenic bacterium, diarrhea, and radiation enteritis; preferably, the intestinal pathogenic bacterium is selected from one or more of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella Paratyphi B, Yersinia enterocolitica, Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Clostridioides difficile, Shigella, and Escherichia coli; preferably, the diarrhea is diarrhea caused by an anti-tumor drug, and further preferably, the diarrhea caused by an anti-tumor drug is diarrhea caused by a chemotherapeutic drug.

[0071] The intestinal pathogenic bacterium refers to those bacteria that are able to cause intestinal infections or diseases, which can enter the human body through contaminated food, water, direct contact, insect vectors, or the like, resulting in various intestinal diseases. There is a wide variety of intestinal pathogenic bacteria, and their survival and reproduction in the intestinal tract may disrupt the normal balance of flora in the intestinal tract, causing problems such as inflammation, diarrhea, and malabsorption.

[0072] In some embodiments, the intestinal pathogenic bacterium is selected from one or more of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella Paratyphi B, Yersinia enterocolitica, Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Clostridioides difficile, Shigella, and Escherichia coli. Radiation enteritis refers to an intestinal complication caused by malignant tumors in the pelvic cavity, abdominal cavity, and retroperitoneum after radiotherapy. This inflammation can affect the small intestine, colon, and rectum, and is therefore also known as radiation proctitis, colitis, and enteritis. The most common symptom of radiation enteritis is diarrhea, sometimes accompanied by mucus or bloody stools, and other symptoms also include abdominal pain, tenesmus, nausea and vomiting, abdominal distension, anorexia, and possibly weight loss. The diarrhea refers to a significantly increased frequency of bowel movements, usually exceeding 3 times a day, characterized by loose stools with high water content (exceeding 85%) and potentially accompanied by mucus, pus, blood, or undigested food. The causes of diarrhea include pathogenic bacterial infections, food poisoning, side effects of drugs, intestinal inflammation, psychological factors, and the like.

[0073] In some embodiments, the diarrhea is diarrhea caused by an anti-tumor drug. Diarrhea caused by anti-tumor drugs: The anti-tumor drugs may be broadly classified into cytotoxic drugs, small-molecule targeted drugs, monoclonal antibody drugs, immune checkpoint inhibitors, hormonal drugs, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), biological response modifiers, and other drugs according to the mechanism of action and the source of the drugs. The diarrhea caused by the use of these drugs is referred to as diarrhea caused by anti-tumor drugs, and also as cancer treatment-related diarrhea/tumor-associated diarrhea.

[0074] In some embodiments, the diarrhea caused by an anti-tumor drug refers specifically to diarrhea caused by a chemotherapeutic drug. Cytotoxic drugs are also commonly referred to as chemotherapeutic drugs. The mechanism of action of these drugs is mainly to inhibit or kill cancer cells by disrupting or interfering with the growth and division processes of tumor cells. Since chemotherapeutic drugs are usually highly toxic to rapidly dividing cells, they not only act on cancer cells, but also may affect rapidly dividing cells in normal body tissues, such as hair follicle cells, gastrointestinal cells, and bone marrow cells. These effects are common side effects of chemotherapy, such as alopecia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and myelosuppression.

[0075] In some embodiments, the diarrhea caused by a chemotherapeutic drug is diarrhea caused by one or more drugs selected from the following: actinomycin D, doxorubicin, daunorubicin, paclitaxel, docetaxel, albumin-bound paclitaxel, cisplatin, carboplatin, nedaplatin, oxaliplatin, lobaplatin, cyclophosphamide, nitrogen mustard, carmustine, camptothecin, hydroxycamptothecin, topotecan, irinotecan, capecitabine, gemcitabine, methotrexate, 5-fluorouracil, pemetrexed, and cytarabine.

[0076] The present disclosure further provides a method for preventing, treating, or slowing an intestinal disease, which comprises administering to a subject the probiotic composition according to the first aspect of the present disclosure, or the strain or the pure culture thereof according to the second aspect of the present disclosure. The subject may be a poultry, a mammal, and a human, preferably a mammal and a human, and more preferably a human.

[0077] The present disclosure further provides 5 isolated probiotic strains for preventing or treating an intestinal disease, which are respectively: Parabacteroides distasonis or a progeny strain thereof, a clonal strain thereof, a fermentation product thereof, a lysate thereof, an extract thereof, and a pure culture thereof, the microbial deposit number of Parabacteroides distasonis being CCTCC NO: M20222033; Limosilactobacillus fermentum or a progeny strain thereof, a clonal strain thereof, a fermentation product thereof, a lysate thereof, an extract thereof, and a pure culture thereof, the microbial deposit number of Limosilactobacillus fermentum being CCTCC NO: M2023352; Lactobacillus salivarius or a progeny strain thereof, a clonal strain thereof, a fermentation product thereof, a lysate thereof, an extract thereof, and a pure culture thereof, the microbial deposit number of Lactobacillus salivarius being CCTCC NO: M 2023348; Enterococcus avium or a progeny strain thereof, a clonal strain thereof, a fermentation product thereof, a lysate thereof, an extract thereof, and a pure culture thereof, the microbial deposit number of Enterococcus avium being CCTCC NO: M2023350; and Bifidobacterium bifidum or a progeny strain thereof, a clonal strain thereof, a fermentation product thereof, a lysate thereof, an extract thereof, and a pure culture thereof, the microbial deposit number of Bifidobacterium bifidum being CCTCC NO: M2023349.

Example 1: Strain Isolation and Identification

[0096] Fresh stool samples were collected from several healthy human volunteers, and each stool sample was independently processed. An appropriate amount of oxygen-free PBS was added to the stool sample to obtain a mixture, and the mixture was shaken to obtain a suspension. The suspension was filtered with gauze under N.sub.2 atmosphere to obtain a filtrate. The filtrate was centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 20 min, then the supernatant was discarded, and the precipitate was retained. An appropriate amount of oxygen-free PBS was added to the precipitate to resuspend the bacteria, so as to obtain a suspension. An equal volume of a 50% (v/v) aqueous solution of oxygen-free glycerol was added to the suspension and mixed well to obtain a bacterial mixture sample. The sample was aliquoted into sample tubes, and the sample tubes were sealed in bags and vacuumized, and then stored in a refrigerator at 80 C. The sample in each cryopreserved sample tube was thawed independently. 0.5 mL of the thawed sample was resuspended in 4.5 mL of oxygen-free PBS, and shaken and mixed well to obtain a bacterial suspension. Under anaerobic conditions, 0.5 mL of the bacterial suspension and 4.5 mL of anaerobic PBS were shaken and mixed well for dilution. The sample was serially diluted ten-fold to a 10.sup.6 dilution ratio using the same method. The bacterial solution with an appropriate dilution ratio was taken and well mixed with a YCFA liquid medium, the resulting mixture was then aliquoted into a 384-well plate, and the plate was anaerobically cultured at 37 C. for one week. The bacterial solution in a well where the bacteria had grown was inoculated into the YCFA medium and cultured for 48 h, and then the bacterial solution was aliquoted into two aliquots. An aliquot of the bacterial solution was examined by MALDI-TOF-MS for preliminary species classification of the isolated strain. After it was determined that the bacterial solution contained only bacteria (monoclonal strain) with one genetic background, another aliquot of the bacterial solution was inoculated into the YCFA medium again for culture according to the mass spectrometry result, where the 16S rDNA gene amplification and sequencing were performed on one aliquot; and a 50% (v/v) aqueous glycerol solution was added to another aliquot in a volume ratio of 1:1, and the mixture was well mixed and deposited.

[0097] The 16S rDNA gene sequence obtained by sequencing was aligned with the NCBI Nucleotide database to further identify the species of the isolated strain. From numerous strains for which the species were further determined, 5 strains were selected for further experiments of the present disclosure. Strain 1 has the highest sequence similarity to a strain of Parabacteroides distasonis (>99%). Therefore, strain 1 was named Parabacteroides distasonis Pdist-1 (abbreviated as Pdist-1). Strain 2 has the highest sequence similarity to a strain of Limosilactobacillus fermentum (100%). Therefore, strain 2 was named Limosilactobacillus fermentum Lferm-1 (abbreviated as Lferm-1). Strain 3 has the highest sequence similarity to a strain of Lactobacillus salivarius (100.00%). Therefore, strain 3 was named Lactobacillus salivarius Lsali-1 (abbreviated as Lsali-1). Strain 4 has the highest sequence similarity to a strain of Enterococcus avium (100.00%). Therefore, strain 4 was named Enterococcus avium Eaviu-1 (abbreviated as Eaviu-1). Strain 5 has the highest sequence similarity to a strain of Bifidobacterium bifidum (99.86%). Therefore, strain 5 was named Bifidobacterium bifidum Bbifi-1 (abbreviated as Bbifi-1).

[0098] Parabacteroides distasonis Pdist-1, Limosilactobacillus fermentum Lferm-1, and Enterococcus avium Eaviu-1 were each inoculated into a BF839 medium and cultured to observe their colony morphology. Lactobacillus salivarius Lsali-1 and Bifidobacterium bifidum Bbifi-1 were each inoculated into a three-component mixed solid medium and cultured to observe their colony morphology. The top-view photographs illustrating the colony morphology of the aforementioned 5 strains are shown in FIG. 1, where A is a top-view photograph illustrating the colony morphology of Parabacteroides distasonis Pdist-1; B is a top-view photograph illustrating the colony morphology of Limosilactobacillus fermentum Lferm-1; C is a top-view photograph illustrating the colony morphology of

[0099] Lactobacillus salivarius Lsali-1; D is a top-view photograph illustrating the colony morphology of Enterococcus avium Eaviu-1; and E is a top-view photograph illustrating the colony morphology of Bifidobacterium bifidum Bbifi-1. It can be seen that the 5 strains all exhibited white opaque round colonies with convex in the middle and smooth and moist surfaces.

Example 2: Whole Genome Analysis of Strains

[0100] The 5 strains obtained in Example I were each inoculated into a three-component mixed liquid medium, and the bacteria were cultured until the late logarithmic growth phase was reached. The whole genome DNA of each strain was extracted and subjected to whole genome sequencing using the Illumina high-throughput sequencing platform NovaSeq 6000. After genome sequence assembly and annotation, the protein sequence was input into the virulence factor databases (VFDB) for virulence factor analysis. The results show that none of the 5 strains had virulence factors in their genomes.

[0101] The novelty analysis was performed on the 5 strains using the average nucleotide identity (ANI) method. Whole genome searches were performed in Genbank and the most similar strains were compared by fastANI (v1.33). The two strains with the highest whole genome similarity to Parabacteroides distasonis Pdist-1 are GCA 003462945.1 (ANI=98.26%) and GCA_003459965.1 (ANI=98.20%), respectively. The two strains with the highest whole genome similarity to Limosilactobacillus fermentum Lferm-1 are GCA_003465085.1 (ANI=99.32%) and GCA 024385625.1 (ANI=99.29%), respectively. The two strains with the highest whole genome similarity to Lactobacillus salivarius Lsali-1 are GCA_009863605.1 (ANI=99.94%) and GCA_009866185.1 (ANI=99.87%), respectively. The two strains with the highest whole genome similarity to Enterococcus avium Eaviu-1 are GCA_018917545.1 (ANI=98.75%) and GCA 018373135.1 (ANI=98.62%), respectively. The two strains with the highest whole genome similarity to Bifidobacterium bifidum Bbifi-1 are GCA 003466395.1 (ANI=99.01%) and GCA_003437945.1 (ANI=99.00%), respectively. It can be seen that the species classification in Example 1 was correct.

[0102] The whole genome sequences of the 5 strains were annotated by emapper-2.1.9, and it was found that the genome of Parabacteroides distasonis Pdist-1 has genes encoding 1 iso-bile acid-producing protein, 2 acetate-producing related enzymes, 3 propionate-producing related enzymes, 1 CAT (catalase)-producing related enzyme, and 1 SOD (superoxide dismutase)-producing related enzyme; the genome of Limosilactobacillus fermentum Lferm-1 has 1 gene encoding an acetate-producing related enzyme; the genome of Lactobacillus salivarius Lsali-1 has genes encoding 2 acetate-producing related enzymes and 1 propionate-producing related enzyme; the genome of Enterococcus avium Eaviu-1 has 2 genes encoding acetate-producing related enzymes, 1 gene encoding a propionate-producing related enzyme, 1 gene encoding SagA protein, and 1 gene encoding an SOD-related enzyme; and the genome of Bifidobacterium bifidum Bbifi-1 has genes encoding 1 acetate-producing related enzyme and 1 propionate-producing related enzyme.

[0104] Parabacteroides distasonis Pdist-1 was inoculated into a three-component mixed liquid medium and anaerobically cultured at 37 C. for 12 h to obtain a bacterial solution containing an activated strain. Enterococcus faecalis (-hemolysis, CICC23658, purchased from China Center of Industrial Culture Collection) was inoculated into a three-component mixed liquid medium and anaerobically cultured at 37 C. for 12 h to obtain a bacterial solution containing an activated strain (as a positive control). The three-component mixed liquid medium was used as a negative control. 2.5 L of the two bacterial solutions containing the activated strains and the negative control were each inoculated into a Columbia blood agar plate (Shanghai Kemajia Microbe Technology Co., Ltd.), and 3 parallel tests were set for each sample. The Columbia blood agar plates were observed after 48 h of anaerobic culture at 37 C. Results: A clearly defined and completely transparent hemolytic ring was formed around the Enterococcus faecalis colonies, indicating -hemolysis; the medium around the Parabacteroides distasonis Pdist-1 colonies was unchanged, indicating -hemolysis, i.e., no hemolysis; the negative control had no hemolytic ring. The results show that Parabacteroides distasonis Pdist-1 has no hemolysis.

[0105] Limosilactobacillus fermentum Lferm-1, Lactobacillus salivarius Lsali-1, Enterococcus avium Eaviu-1, and Bifidobacterium bifidum Bbifi-1 were each inoculated into a three-component mixed liquid medium and anaerobically cultured at 37 C. until the late logarithmic growth phase was reached to obtain bacterial solutions containing the activated strains. 2 mL of 2% (v v) fresh rabbit red blood cell PBS suspension (Beijing Bersee Science and Technology Co., Ltd.) was taken and subjected to liquid contact assay with the bacterial suspension resuspended in 2 mL of sterile normal saline. An equal volume of sterile water was used as a positive control, and an equal volume of sterile normal saline was used as a negative control. Each group was set in triplicate, and the samples were observed after being left to stand for 24 h. The results show that hemolysis occurred in the positive control; the negative control, Limosilactobacillus fermentum Lferm-1, Lactobacillus salivarius Lsali-1, Enterococcus avium Eaviu-1, and Bifidobacterium bifidum Bbifi-1 all had no hemolysis.

[0106] According to the requirements for antibiotic susceptibility tests of anaerobic bacteria in Technical specification on antimicrobial susceptibility tests (Standard No. WS/T 639-2018) of the People's Republic of China Health Industry Standard, the susceptibility of the strains to antibiotics was determined by a broth dilution method, and the MIC values were recorded.

[0107] 0.1 mL of the prepared 5 bacterial suspensions were sequentially pipetted into 96-well plates containing equal volumes of prepared antibacterial drugs, such that the final concentration of the inoculated bacteria was 510.sup.5 CFU/mL, and the drug concentrations were 256 g/mL, 128 g/mL, 64 g/mL, 32 g/mL, 16 g/mL, 8 g/mL, 4 g/mL, 2 g/mL, 1 g/mL, 0.5 g/mL, 0.25 g/mL, and 0.125 g/mL, respectively. Incubation: The above 96-well plates were anaerobically incubated in an incubator at 37 C. for 46-48 h. The results are shown in Table 2 below.

Example 5: Antioxidant Experiment

[0108] The activated 5 strains obtained in Example 1 were each inoculated into an oxygen-free BF839 medium. LGG (Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, CICC6141, purchased from China Center of Industrial Culture Collection) was used as a positive control. The six strains were each subjected to the following procedures in parallel. All the strains were anaerobically cultured in the oxygen-free BF839 media at 37 C. for 24 h to obtain the cultured bacterial solutions.

[0109] 0.5 mL of each of the cultured bacterial solutions was centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 20 min, the supernatant was discarded, and the precipitate was resuspended in 0.5 mL of pre-cooled extract solution in a total antioxidant capacity assay kit for strains (the kit was purchased from Beijing Solarbio Science & Technology Co., Ltd., BC1315); the resuspension was transferred to a sterilized screw cap tube containing beads (purchased from Sigma, USA, G4649-1 KG); the tube was shaken once for wall breaking by using a fast sample preparation instrument (parameter setting: 4.5 m/s, 30 s); the mixture was centrifuged at 12,000 rpm and 4 C. for 10 min; and the supernatant was placed on ice for later use. A BCA protein assay kit (the kit was purchased from Beijing Solarbio Science & Technology Co., Ltd., PC0020) was used, a standard curve was plotted according to the instruction of the kit, and a BCA sample was assayed. The antioxidant capacity of the sample was assayed using the total antioxidant capacity assay kit for strains (the kit was purchased from Beijing Solarbio Science & Technology Co., Ltd., BC1315) according to the instruction of the kit in combination with the standard curve. The unit of the total antioxidant capacity is mol/mg prot. The experimental results are shown in FIG. 2. The total antioxidant capacities of Lactobacillus salivarius Lsali-1 and Enterococcus avium Eaviu-1 were significantly superior to that of the positive control strain LGG; the total antioxidant capacities of Parabacteroides distasonis Pdist-1, Limosilactobacillus fermentum Lferm-1, and Bifidobacterium bifidum Bbifi-1 were comparable to that of the positive control strain LGG. It can be seen that these strains all have relatively strong antioxidant capacities.

Example 7: In Vitro Barrier Repair Test

[0112] Caco-2 cells (purchased from Shangcheng BeNa Culture Collection, BNCC No. 350769) were seeded into a Transwell plate (a permeable cell culture chamber): Caco-2 adherent cells were digested with a trypsin solution preheated at 37 C. Caco-2 cells were seeded in a 24-well Transwell plate with a DMEM medium containing 10% (v/v) FBS and 1% (w/v) PS (DMEM medium, purchased from Gibco, Cat. No. C11995500BT; FBS, purchased from Gibco, Cat. No. 16000-044; PS, a penicillin-streptomycin mixed solution, purchased from Gibco, Cat. No. 15140-122) at a seeding density of 1.110.sup.5 cells/well, and the plate was cultured and left to stand with 5% CO.sub.2 at 37 C. for 21 d. Strain culture: 200 L of Lactobacillus salivarius Lsali-1 bacterial solution and Enterococcus avium Eaviu-1 bacterial solution were each taken from the bacterial preservation tube and added to 5 mL of a two-component mixed medium (the relevant reagents were deoxygenated in advance), and the bacteria were anaerobically cultured in an electric thermostatic incubator at 37 C. for 24 h. The bacteria were passaged and inoculated once, and then anaerobically cultured for 8 h. 1 mL of the bacterial solution was taken and centrifuged at 12,000 rpm/min for 3 min. The strain was diluted to 10.sup.7 CFU/mL with a DMEM medium containing 10% (v/v) FBS for later use. Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG, CICC 6141, China Center of Industrial Culture Collection) at the same concentration was used as a positive control. Effect of Lactobacillus salivarius Lsali-1 and Enterococcus avium Eaviu-1 on intestinal epithelial barrier function in Caco-2 cell model: for each bacterium, 4 groups were set, i.e., a normal control group, a model group, a positive control group, and a bacterial group (a Lactobacillus salivarius Lsali-1 group and an Enterococcus avium Eaviu-1 group). The barrier damage model was constructed using inflammatory factors IFN- (Pepro Tech, AF-300-02) and TNF- (Pepro Tech, 300-01A) as the model group. After being cultured for 21 d, the Caco-2 cells were allowed to differentiate to form a dense monolayer of cells, and the old medium in the lower chamber was pipetted off. 800 L of DMEM medium was added to the lower chamber of the normal control group, and 800 L of IFN- solutions at a concentration of 10 ng/ml were added to the lower chambers of the model group, the positive control group, and the bacterial groups. After the plates were placed in a 5% carbon dioxide incubator and left to stand for culture at 37 C. for 22 h, the solutions in the upper chambers and the lower chambers were pipetted off. In the normal control group, 200 L of DMEM medium was added to the upper chamber, and 800 L of DMEM medium was added to the lower chamber. In the model group, 200 L of DMEM medium was added to the upper chamber. In the positive control group, 200 L of positive bacterial solution was added to the upper chamber. In the bacterial groups, 200 L of Lactobacillus salivarius Lsali-1 bacterial solution and Enterococcus avium Eaviu-1 bacterial solution were added to the upper chambers, respectively. In the model group, the positive control group, and the bacterial groups, 800 L of TNF- solutions at a concentration of 50 ng/ml were added to the lower chambers. After the plates were placed in a 5% carbon dioxide incubator and left to stand for culture at 37 C. for 5 h, the transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) value of the cell monolayer in each group was measured.

[0113] The results are shown in FIG. 4. It can be seen that compared with the model group, the positive control group LGG could significantly increase the TEER value, indicating that LGG has a significant repair effect on the cell barrier damage. Similarly, compared with the model group, Lactobacillus salivarius Lsali-1 (A in FIG. 4) and Enterococcus avium Eaviu-1 (B in FIG. 4) could also significantly increase the TEER values, and had similar or comparable effects to that of LGG. The results indicate that Lactobacillus salivarius Lsali-1 and Enterococcus avium Eaviu-1 can effectively alleviate the barrier dysfunction caused by inflammatory factors (e.g., IFN- and TNF-).

Example 8: In Vitro Cell Inflammation Inhibition Test

[0114] Polarization of THP-1 cells: THP-1 cells were seeded into a 96-well plate at a seeding density of 110.sup.5 cells/well using an RPMI-1640 medium (Thermo Fisher, C11875500BT) containing 10% (v/v) FBS and PMA (phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, Sigma-Aldrich Company, P1585) at a final concentration of 100 ng/mL. The 96-well plate was placed in a 5% CO.sub.2 incubator and cultured at 37 C. for 24 h to polarize the cells into mature macrophages. Strain culture: 200 L of each of the test bacterial solutions of Parabacteroides distasonis Pdist-1, Limosilactobacillus fermentum Lferm-1, Lactobacillus salivarius Lsali-1, Enterococcus avium Eaviu-1, and Bifidobacterium bifidum Bbifi-1 was taken from the bacterial preservation tube and inoculated into 5 mL of a two-component mixed medium, and then the bacteria were anaerobically cultured at 37 C. for 24 h. After one transfer, the bacteria were anaerobically cultured for 8 h. 1 mL of the test bacterial solution was taken and centrifuged at 5,000 rpm/min for 15 min. The aforementioned strains were sequentially diluted with an RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% (v/v) FBS to 510.sup.7 CFU/mL, 210.sup.6 CFU/mL, 510.sup.7 CFU/mL, 510.sup.7 CFU/mL, and 510.sup.7 CFU/mL for later use. Effect on the expression of TNF- and IL-6 in THP-1 cells: after THP-1 mature cells were cultured, the medium in the normal control group (without bacterial or drug treatment) was replaced with an RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% (v/v) FBS; the media in the model group, the positive control group (treated with dexamethasone), and the test groups (treated with the strains) were replaced with RPMI-1640 media containing 10% (v/v) FBS, LPS (Sigma-Aldrich Company, L3024) at a final concentration of 100 ng/ml, and IFN- (PeproTech, AF-300-02) at a final concentration of 20 ng/ml, respectively; and the modeling of inflammatory macrophages was performed. The plate of each group was placed in a 5% CO.sub.2 incubator and cultured at 37 C. for 24 h. The media were pipetted off; 100 L of RPMI-1640 media containing 10% (v/v) FBS were added to the normal control group and the model group, respectively; 100 L of an RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% (v/v) FBS and dexamethasone (purchased from Sigma-Aldrich Company, D4902-25) at a final concentration of 25 g/mL was added to the positive control group; and 100 L of the previously prepared test bacterial solutions were added to the test groups, respectively. The plates were placed in a 5% CO.sub.2 incubator and cultured at 37 C. for 24 h. 80 L of cell culture solution was taken from each group and centrifuged at 4 C. and 5,000 rpm/min for 15 min. The supernatant was collected, and the TNF- content was assayed using a Human TNF- (tumor necrosis factor alpha) ELISA kit (purchased from Wuhan Elabscience Biotechnology Co., Ltd., E-EL-H0109c), and the IL-6 content was assayed using a Human IL-6 (interleukin 6) ELISA kit (purchased from Wuhan Elabscience Biotechnology Co., Ltd., E-EL-H6156). The experimental results are shown in FIG. 5. It can be seen that the expression of IL-6 and TNF- in the cells of the model control group was significantly higher than that of the normal control group (P<0.01); the positive control dexamethasone group could significantly inhibit the expression of the pro-inflammatory factors IL-6 and TNF- in the THP-1 cells (P<0.01); compared with the model group, the expression of the pro-inflammatory factor IL-6 could be significantly reduced by Limosilactobacillus fermentum Lferm-1, Lactobacillus salivarius Lsali-1, and Enterococcus avium Eaviu-1, and the expression of the pro-inflammatory factor TNF- could be significantly reduced by Limosilactobacillus fermentum Lferm-1, Lactobacillus salivarius Lsali-1, Enterococcus avium Eaviu-1, and Bifidobacterium bifidum Bbifi-1 (P<0.05), indicating that these strains have anti-inflammatory effects in vitro.

Example 9: Test of Adhesion Ability to Caco-2 Cells

[0115] Strain culture: 200 L of Bifidobacterium bifidum Bbifi-1 bacterial solution, Enterococcus avium Eaviu-1 bacterial solution, Lactobacillus salivarius Lsali-1 bacterial solution, Limosilactobacillus fermentum Lferm-1 bacterial solution, and Parabacteroides distasonis Pdist-1 bacterial solution were each inoculated into 5 mL of a two-component mixed medium, and the bacteria were anaerobically cultured at 37 C. until the late logarithmic growth phase was reached. The cultured bacterial solution was centrifuged and washed twice with sterile PBS (Wuhan Boster Biological Technology Co., Ltd., PYG0021), and the strain was diluted to 510.sup.8 CFU/mL with a DMEM medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific (China) Co., Ltd., C11995500BT) containing 10% (v/v) FBS (Thermo Fisher; Scientific (China) Co., Ltd., SH30084.03) for later use. Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG, CICC 6141, China Center of Industrial Culture Collection) at the same concentration was used as a positive control group. 100 L of the diluted bacterial suspension was added to a 96-well cell culture plate containing Caco-2 cells. After the addition, the 96-well cell culture plate was placed in a horizontal centrifuge and centrifuged at 1,000 g for 1 min. The wells corresponding to each bacterial solution were divided into two groups, and the two groups were incubated for 30 min and 2 h, respectively. The plate was washed twice with sterile PBS to wash away non-adherent strains. After washing, 50 L of a trypsin solution (Labgic Technology Co., Ltd., BL501A) was added to each well, and the cells were digested in an incubator at 37 C. After the Caco-2 cells were digested and became spherical, 150 L of a DMEM medium containing 10% (v/v) FBS was added to each well, and the mixture was pipetted repeatedly for about 1 min. After the cells and strains were digested and isolated as confirmed by microscopy, 20 L of the above mixed solution was pipetted and serially 10-fold diluted with 0.1% Tween 80-PBS in the 96-well plate, and an appropriate dilution gradient was selected to pour the dissolved three-component mixed solid medium. The cells were cultured at 37 C. for 48 h and then counted. The results are shown in FIG. 6, where A in FIG. 6 shows the adhesion effect of each strain when the incubation time was 30 min, and shows that the adhesion ability of Enterococcus avium Eaviu-1 was comparable to that of the positive control group LGG; B in FIG. 6 shows the adhesion effect of each strain when the incubation time was 2 h, and shows that the adhesion abilities of Bifidobacterium bifidum Bbifi-1 and Limosilactobacillus fermentum Lferm-1 were comparable to that of the positive control group LGG, the adhesion abilities of Lactobacillus salivarius Lsali-1 and Enterococcus avium Eaviu-1 were superior to that of the positive control group LGG, and Parabacteroides distasonis Pdist-1 had certain adhesion, indicating that the 5 strains have the potential to colonize the intestinal tract.

These solutions were filtered and sterilized for later use.

[0117] The lyoprotectant for each strain was mixed in a volume ratio of solution A:solution B:solution C=6:2:2 when used.

[0118] Preparation of bacterial powder: the 5 strains obtained in Example I were each inoculated into the corresponding bacterial powder preparation medium, and anaerobically cultured at 37 C. and 90 rpm for 16-24 h to obtain a primary seed solution. Subsequently, the primary seed solution was transferred to the corresponding bacterial powder preparation medium, and anaerobically cultured at 37 C. and 90 rpm for 10-15 h to obtain a secondary seed solution. The secondary seed solution was pumped into a fermenter containing the corresponding bacterial powder preparation medium using a peristaltic pump, and subjected to fermentation culture. After the fermentation was stopped, the bacteria were collected by centrifugation. The lyoprotectant was added according to a weight ratio of the bacterial sludge to the lyoprotectant of 1:1 to 1:2, and the emulsified bacterial sludge was well mixed. The mixture was lyophilized and pulverized to obtain the bacterial powder. Before administration to the animals, the bacterial powder containing 110.sup.9 CFU live bacteria was prepared into a bacterial suspension using 0.2 mL of normal saline. Test animals: SPF-grade male Balb/c mice, weighing 18-22 g, purchased from Beijing Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd., housed in an SPF-grade animal room. The mice were randomly divided into groups according to the initial weight, with 5 mice in each group. For each of Parabacteroides distasonis Pdist-1, Limosilactobacillus fermentum Lferm-1, Enterococcus avium Eaviu-1, and Bifidobacterium bifidum Bbifi-1, 4 groups were set, i.e., a normal control group, a model control group, a positive control loperamide group, and a test strain group. For Lactobacillus salivarius Lsali-1, 4 groups were set, i.e., a normal control group, a model control group, a control strain Lsali-4 group of the same species (Lsali-4 was another Lactobacillus salivarius strain isolated by the same method as in Example 1), and a test strain Lsali-1 group. Test design: a 5-FU solution (5-fluorouracil, purchased from Tianjin Pharma Heping (Tianjin) Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., specification: 10 mL/vial, 0.25 g/10 mL) was used to induce chemotherapy-related diarrhea models in mice. Except that the normal control group was intraperitoneally injected with normal saline, other groups were treated with 5-FU single intraperitoneal injection for modeling, with a molding dose of 350 mg/kg body weight. The administration mode for all groups was intragastric administration. The normal control group and the model control group were intragastrically given the lyoprotectants. The positive control group was intragastrically given loperamide (purchased from Xian Janssen Pharmaceutical Ltd.) at 20 mg/kg body weight. The test strain groups were intragastrically given the bacterial suspensions of the test strains at a dose of 110.sup.9 CFU/mouse. The overall experimental period was 9 days, which were recorded as D1-D9. Modeling treatment was performed on D3. The normal control group, the model control group, and the test strain groups were intragastrically given the test substances for consecutive days from D1 to D5, and the positive control group was intragastrically given loperamide for consecutive days from D1 to D9. After the end of the administration on D5, the mice were observed for 4 consecutive days. The specific experimental groups and administration regimens are shown in Table 4 below

TABLE-US-00004 TABLE 4 Experimental groups and administration regimens for treatment of mice with 5-FU-induced diarrhea Modeling Modeling Volume of Dose of Days of Group Number agent dose Test substance administration administration administration Normal 5 Normal / Lyoprotectant 0.2 mL/mouse / 5 d control group saline Model 5 5-FU 350 mg/kg Lyoprotectant 0.2 mL/mouse / 5 d control group Loperamide 5 5-FU 350 mg/kg Loperamide 10 mL/kg 20 mg/kg 9 d body weight body weight Strain group 5 5-FU 350 mg/kg Each test strain 0.2 mL/mouse 1 10.sup.9 5 d CFU/mouse Note: 5-FU indicates 5-fluorouracil; CFU indicates colony forming unit; d indicates days

[0119] Diarrhea observation and scoring: the mice were placed in mouse cages with clean filter paper at the bottom, with 1 mouse per cage. Hard feces and normal feces were considered as 0 points; mild diarrhea was characterized by slightly wet feces or soft feces, which was considered as 1 point; moderate diarrhea was characterized by wet feces, shapeless feces, and perianal uncleanliness, which was considered as 2 points; and severe diarrhea was characterized by loose feces and severe perianal uncleanliness, which was considered as 3 points. During the experiment, the feces of the mice were observed and scored daily. The total diarrhea score is the sum of daily diarrhea scores.

[0120] Body weight measurement and rate of change in body weight: during the experiment, the mice were weighed daily, and the rate of change in body weight was calculated as follows: rate of change in body weight=(measured body weightinitial body weight)/initial body weight100%.

[0121] At the end of the experiment, all mice were dissected, and the entire cecum together with the colorectum was separated along with the anus. The colorectum length of the mice was measured using a ruler with the end of the cecum as the zero point and the end of the rectum as the endpoint.

[0122] The results of the diarrhea experiment are shown in FIGS. 7-11. It can be seen that compared with the model control group, the five strains each exhibited a significant improvement effect on the 5-FU-induced diarrhea, and the total diarrhea scores were significantly reduced.

[0123] In order to compare the differences in efficacy between Bifidobacterium bifidum Bbifi-1 and Bifidobacterium bifidum standard strain DSM20456 (purchased from German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures), a CID model was constructed as described above. The previous data show that stable diarrhea could be observed 4 days after the CID modeling, i.e., D7. Therefore, the overall experimental period of this experiment was 7 days, which were recorded as D1-D7. On D3, except that the normal control group was intraperitoneally injected with normal saline, other groups were treated with 5-FU single intraperitoneal injection for modeling, with a molding dose of 350 mg/kg body weight, and the Bbifi-1 group and the DSM20456 group were intragastrically given 110.sup.9 CFU daily. During the experiment, the feces of the mice were observed and scored daily, and the scoring criteria were kept consistent with the previous criteria. The specific schemes are shown in Table 5 below.

TABLE-US-00005 TABLE 5 Experimental groups and administration regimens for treatment of mice with 5-FU-induced diarrhea Modeling Modeling Test Volume of Dose of Days of Group Number agent dose substance administration administration administration Normal 5 Normal / Normal 0.2 mL/mouse / 7 d control group saline saline Model 5 5-FU 350 mg/kg Normal 0.2 mL/mouse / 7 d control group saline Loperamide 5 5-FU 350 mg/kg Loperamide 20 mL/kg 20 mg/kg 7 d group Bbifi-1 5 5-FU 350 mg/kg Bbifi-1 0.2 mL/mouse 1 10.sup.9 7 d group CFU/mouse DSM20456 5 5-FU 350 mg/kg DSM20456 0.2 mL/mouse 1 10.sup.9 7 d group CFU/mouse

[0124] The experimental results are shown in FIG. 12. Compared with the model control group, the effect of Bbifi-1 in alleviating 5-FU-induced diarrhea was superior to that of the standard strain DSM20456.

Effect on Colon Injury

[0125] After the animal experiment, the middle colon of the mice was collected and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 24 h. The fixed colon tissues were sequentially dehydrated, transparentized, waxed, and embedded. The embedded paraffin blocks of colon tissues were sectioned at a thickness of 5 m, followed by spreading and baking, and the dried sections were subjected to conventional HE staining. The pathological changes were observed under an optical microscope. Pathological scoring was performed according to Table 6 below, and the total pathological scores (the sum of the scores of all indices) were calculated.

TABLE-US-00006 TABLE 6 Pathological scoring indices and description of colon tissues Index Grade Description Epithelial 0 No injury, no significant degeneration, necrosis, or other lesions of epithelial cells injury or goblet cells, with intact mucosal structure 1 Mild injury, degeneration or necrosis of a small number of cells (20%) in the field of view, with intact mucosal structure 2 Moderate injury, significant cell degeneration or necrosis (40%) in the field of view, with substantially intact mucosal structure 3 Severe injury, degeneration or necrosis of a large number of cells (40%) in the field of view, absence of mucosal structure, and significant narrowing Inflammatory 0 No inflammatory cell infiltration cells 1 Mild infiltration, a small number of inflammatory cells or inflammatory foci in the Infiltration mucosa, with a relatively small inflammatory focus area, or infiltration into the lamina propria 2 Moderate infiltration, a small number of inflammatory cells or inflammatory foci in the mucosa, with a moderate inflammatory focus area, or infiltration into the muscularis mucosae and submucosa 3 Severe infiltration, a large number of inflammatory cells or inflammatory foci in the mucosa, with a relatively large inflammatory focus area, or transmural infiltration involving the muscularis propria Thickness of 0 Normal muscularis 1 Reduced propria Crypt 0 Absence of abscess in the crypt abscess 1 Presence of abscess in the crypt Number of 0 Normal goblet cell number goblet cells 1 Loss of goblet cells, reduced number

[0126] As can be seen from panels 1A and 2A in FIG. 13, in the normal control group, the colon structure was intact, and the mucosal layer, submucosa, muscularis propria, and serosal layer were clearly visible; in the lamina propria of the colon of the model control group, necrosis and dissolution of intestinal glands, a reduction in goblet cells, lymphocyte infiltration, loose connective tissue of the submucosa, and vasodilation were observed; in the loperamide group, the colon structure was relatively intact, mucosal epithelial cells showed no significant necrosis, the number of goblet cells was significantly increased, and only a small amount of lymphocyte infiltration was observed in the lamina propria; in the Pdist-1 group, the mucosal layer structure of the colon was relatively intact, mucosal epithelial cells showed no significant necrosis, and the number of goblet cells was significantly increased as compared to the model control group; in the Lferm-1 group, the colon tissue showed a small amount of mucosal epithelial cell necrosis accompanied by a small amount of lymphocyte infiltration, a small number of intestinal glands showed dilation, the number of goblet cells was slightly reduced, and mild edema was observed in the submucosa accompanied by a small amount of lymphocyte infiltration. As can be seen from panels 1B and 2B in FIG. 13, significant colon injury occurred in the mice after 5-FU induction, and the total pathological score of the model control group was significantly higher than that of the normal control group (P<0.01). After administration, Parabacteroides distasonis Pdist-1 could significantly reduce the total pathological score of the colon (P<0.05) and ameliorate colon injury. Limosilactobacillus fermentum Lferm-1 could also significantly reduce the total pathological score of the colon (P<0.05) and ameliorate the degree of colon injury.

Improvement in Relative mRNA Transcription Level of IL-1, TNF-, and AQP8 in Mouse Colon

[0127] After the animal experiment, the middle colon of the mice was collected and stored in a refrigerator at 80 C. The total RNA was extracted from the colon tissues of the mice in each group according to the instruction of the reagent (ThermoFisher Scientific, Cat. No. 15596026), and reverse-transcribed into cDNA. The cDNA was then stored at 20 C. for later use. The relative mRNA transcription levels of pro-inflammatory factors IL-1 and TNF-, as well as aquaporin 8 (AQP8) genes in mouse colon in each group, were detected by qRT-PCR (the primer sequences are shown in Table 7). Reaction program: 95 C. for 3 min, 95 C. for 20 s, 60 C. for 45 s, and 72 C. for 20 s, 39 cycles in total. Analysis was performed using the 2-44CT method, and the data were subjected to significance analysis using the SPSS 24.0 statistical software.

[0128] The results are shown in FIG. 14, and it can be seen that in the model control group, the relative mRNA transcription levels of IL-1 and TNF- were significantly increased, and the relative mRNA transcription level of AQP8 was significantly reduced, as compared with the normal control group. Compared with the model control group, the administration of Pdist-1 could significantly reduce the relative mRNA transcription levels of IL-1 and TNF- (A in FIG. 14 and B in FIG. 14), and significantly increase the relative mRNA transcription level of AQP8 (C); and the administration of Lferm-1 could significantly reduce the relative mRNA transcription level of TNF- (D)).

Example 11: Therapeutic Effect of Bifidobacterium bifidum Bbifi-1 on Radiation Enteritis Model Mice

[0129] The lyoprotectant and the bacterial powder were prepared by the same method as in Example 10. Test animals: 20 SPF-grade male C57BL/6J mice, weighing 20-25 g, purchased from Beijing Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd., housed in an SPF-grade animal room. Test design: a radiation enteritis mouse model was induced by using abdominal X-ray irradiation. The mice were randomly divided into 4 groups according to the initial body weight, i.e., a normal control group, a model control group, a positive control group, and a Bifidobacterium bifidum Bbifi-1 group, with 5 mice in each group. Except for the normal control group, which was not irradiated, all other groups were subjected to single abdominal X-ray irradiation for modeling, with a modeling dose of 11.5 Gy. The administration mode for all the groups was intragastric administration. The normal control group and the model control group were intragastrically given normal saline; the positive control group was intragastrically given 110.sup.9 CFU of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG, purchased from Shaanxi Zelang Biotechnology Co., Ltd.); the Bifidobacterium bifidum Bbifi-1 group was intragastrically given 110.sup.9 CFU of Bifidobacterium bifidum Bbifi-1. The overall experimental period was 13 days, which were recorded as D-2 to D10. The mice were intragastrically given the test substances for 12 consecutive days from D-2 to D9, and treated with single abdominal X-ray irradiation on D0 (day 3).

[0130] Diarrhea observation and scoring: the mice were placed in mouse cages with clean filter paper at the bottom, with 1 mouse per cage. Hard feces and normal feces were considered as 0 points; mild diarrhea was characterized by slightly wet feces or soft feces, which was considered as 1 point; moderate diarrhea was characterized by wet feces, shapeless feces, and perianal uncleanliness, which was considered as 2 points; and severe diarrhea was characterized by loose feces and severe perianal uncleanliness, which was considered as 3 points. During the experiment, the feces of the mice were observed and scored daily. The total diarrhea score is the sum of daily diarrhea scores. On D10 (day 13), the experimental animals were euthanized by pentobarbital sodium anesthesia, and then subjected to gross anatomy and anatomical observation. The specific experimental groups and administration regimens are shown in Table 8 below.

TABLE-US-00008 TABLE 8 Experimental groups and administration regimens for treatment of mice with X-ray-induced diarrhea by Bifidobacterium bifidum Bbifi-1 Modeling Modeling Volume of Dose of Days of Group Number mode dose Test substance administration administration administration Normal 5 Normal / Lyoprotectant 0.2 mL/mouse / 12 d control group saline Model 5 Abdominal 11.5 Gy Lyoprotectant 0.2 mL/mouse / 12 d control group X-ray irradiation Positive 5 Abdominal 11.5 Gy Lactobacillus 0.2 mL/mouse 1 10.sup.9 12 d control group X-ray rhamnosus GG CFU/mouse irradiation Bifidobacterium 5 Abdominal 11.5 Gy Bifidobacterium 0.2 mL/mouse 1 10.sup.9 12 d bifidum Bbifi-1 X-ray bifidum Bbifi-1 CFU/mouse group irradiation Note: CFU indicates colony forming unit; d indicates days

[0131] The test results are shown in FIG. 15, where panel A shows the diarrhea score curve of each group from day 1 to day 12, and panel B shows the total diarrhea score of each group. It can be seen that compared with the model control group, Bifidobacterium bifidum Bbifi-1 exhibited a significant improvement effect on the X-ray irradiation-induced diarrhea, which was comparable to that of the positive control group LGG (A in FIG. 15); LGG and Bifidobacterium bifidum Bbifi-1 could significantly reduce the total diarrhea scores (P<0.05, B in FIG. 15). The above results indicate that Bifidobacterium bifidum Bbifi-1 has a significant improvement effect on the X-ray irradiation-induced diarrhea of the mice.

Example 12: Test of Co-Culture Characteristics Among Strains

[0132] The 5 strains obtained in Example 1 were each cultured for activation until the late logarithmic growth phase was reached. The bacterial solution of one of the strains was streaked three times in parallel on a BF839 solid medium using a disposable sterile cotton swab, and then the bacterial solutions of the other four strains were streaked once in parallel in a direction perpendicular to the first streak. After the streaked bacterial solutions were dried, the bacteria were anaerobically cultured for 48 h until the bacterial solutions had significant marks. The interaction relationships among the five strains are shown in FIG. 16. It can be seen that there were no breakpoints at the intersections of the strains, indicating that no growth inhibition occurs among the strains.
