Title: How to manipulate the communication between the gut microbiota and the gut mucosa to improve intestinal health: the case of butyrate
1How to manipulate the communication between the
gut microbiota and the gut mucosa to improve
intestinal health the case of butyrate
- Prof. Dr. Filip Van Immerseel

Pathology, Bacteriology and Avian Diseases - 3rd International Fresenius Conference, February
13-14th, Cologne, Germany.
2What is good intestinal health?
- A healthy gut is a gut in which the environment
is regulated as such that a stable and constant
condition of properties is maintained
(homeostasis)
3EQUILIBRUM - BALANCED
4- Important host factors in maintaining mucosal
health - Mucus and secreted compounds
- Intestinal epithelial integrity
- Immune cells
5Mucus and secreted compounds

Optimal Poor (intestinal health)
14Proteobacteria
- Enterobacteraceae TLR5 activation and
inflammation (ao. pathogens such as Salmonella) - SRB (H2S producers) toxic effect on epithelial
cells, block butyrate oxidation
15Butyrate
- Inhibits NFkB activation and inflammation
- Induces AMP expression, and mucin expression
- Acts trophic for epithelial cells
- Induces TJ expression
-
- Thus butyrate is essential for gut health?
- Thus butyrate producing bacteria need to be
abundant in the gut to promote gut health?

28Abundance of butyrate producing Clostridium
cluster IV and XIVa and Proteobacteria in
dysbacteriosis?
Dysbiosis Trendy term pointing to a condition
in which composition of microbiota is capable of
decreasing performance due to poorly described
mechanisms, although pathogens are not
necessarily present
Synonyms ???
Feed passage syndrome Malabsorption syndrome Wet

32Abundance of butyrate producing Clostridium
cluster IV and XIVa and Proteobacteria in
dysbacteriosis?
High dysbiosis score Low dysbiosis score
Effect of butyrate on host functions
intra-species communication
33Conclusions
- Stimulation of butyrate producing Cluster IV and
XIVa bacteria can be beneficial to - Reduce pathogen colonization
- Decrease inflammation
- Increase gut health
- As a consequence improve performance
34How to stimulate caecal butyrate production?
