Protective and immunomodulatory effects of the novel probiotic yeast Pichia kudriavzevii isolated from a home-made kefir during infection in human colon epithelial cells: An explor... by Angela Maione, Marianna Imparato, Annalisa Buonanno, Marilena Galdiero, Elisabetta de Alteriis, Marco Guida, Emilia Galdiero

“…Results showed that both live P. kudriavzevii and CFS-Y1 effectively decreased Salmonella spp. adhesion and invasion, in competition, inhibition and displacement assays, displaying the most potent inhibitory effects when Caco-2 cells were preincubated with Y1/ CFS-Y1 at different concentrations and then bacteria were added for an additional time. Furthermore, the treatment of LPS-induced Caco-2 cells with both Y1 and its CFS-Y1 effectively relieved the oxidative stress and improved the intestinal TJ barrier function. …”
