The invention discloses a
lactobacillus johnsonii YS my4 strain with a
cryptosporidium infection resisting effect and application of the
lactobacillus johnsonii YS my4 strain. The preservation number of the YS my4 strain is CCTCC (China Center For Type Culture Collection) M 20253011. The strain disclosed by the invention has the characteristics of cholate resistance,
intestinal juice resistance, strong adhesiveness and capability of inhibiting
salmonella and
staphylococcus aureus. In addition, the strain has no hemolytic rings, and the strain has no influence on body indexes and can increase the
body weight after gavage of suckling rats, so that the strain is proved to be high in safety and can be applied to the fields of
medicine and food. According to the invention, the YS my4 strain is intragastrically fed to a pseudo-sterile suckling mouse infected by
cryptosporidium parvum, and it is found that the strain can activate
immune defense of the intestinal tract of a host by improving the MAPK
phosphorylation level of the host in the state of
cryptosporidium parvum infection, so that the
insect loading amount of the
cryptosporidium parvum is remarkably reduced; meanwhile, the YS my4 strain can improve the expression level of
tight junction proteins
Occludin and CLDN4, relieve
pathological damage of
ileum tissues and improve the intestinal
barrier function, and has important application value in prevention and treatment of
cryptosporidium parvum infection.
