Group B (GBS) is an opportunistic bacterium that can cause severe infection during gestation, leading to adverse pregnancy outcomes and neonatal disease. As current treatments only decrease chances of early onset neonatal disease without impacting the risk of chorioamnionitis, preterm birth, or late-onset disease, novel therapeutics are needed. Here, we demonstrate that human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) positively modulate cocultures of GBS and spp., common inhabitants of a healthy vaginal microbiome, across in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo experiments. HMOs shift the total cell population in vitro to favor , which was qualitatively visualized via scanning electron microscopy. adherence to EpiVaginal tissues was also increased with HMOs during coinoculation with GBS. Using an in vivo mouse model of reproductive GBS infection, and HMOs prevented ascending infection, reducing bacterial burden in both the placenta and fetus. alone reduced the burden in all reproductive tissues tested except the vagina. Together, these results highlight the benefit of pre- and probiotic treatment to potentially reduce GBS colonization during gestation.
B组链球菌(GBS)是一种机会致病菌,可在妊娠期引起严重感染,导致不良妊娠结局和新生儿疾病。由于目前的治疗方法仅能降低早发性新生儿疾病的发生率,而无法影响绒毛膜羊膜炎、早产或晚发性疾病的风险,因此需要新的治疗方法。在此,我们通过体外、离体和体内实验证明,人乳寡糖(HMOs)可对GBS与健康阴道微生物群的常见共生菌——[具体菌种]的共培养产生积极调节作用。HMOs在体外使总细胞群体向有利于[具体菌种]的方向转变,这通过扫描电子显微镜进行了定性观察。在与GBS共同接种期间,HMOs也增加了[具体菌种]对阴道上皮组织的黏附。使用生殖GBS感染的体内小鼠模型,[具体菌种]和HMOs可预防上行感染,降低胎盘和胎儿中的细菌载量。单独使用[具体菌种]可降低除阴道外所有测试生殖组织中的细菌载量。总之,这些结果凸显了益生元和益生菌治疗对潜在降低妊娠期GBS定植的益处。
