This invention relates to the field of microbial pharmaceutical technology, specifically disclosing the application of *Blautia Obeum* in the preparation of drugs for the prevention and treatment of depression, representing a novel use of probiotics for antidepressant purposes. This invention is the first to apply *Blautia Obeum* to the prevention and treatment of depression. This strain can be prepared in various forms, including live bacterial preparations, inactivated bacterial cells, bacterial lysates, metabolites, or bacterial extracts, combined with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients to formulate various oral microecological preparations, including conventional dosage forms such as tablets, capsules, enteric-coated preparations, and oral liquids. The drugs can effectively improve core clinical symptoms of depression, such as low mood, loss of interest, sleep disorders, anxiety, and irritability, by regulating intestinal flora homeostasis, repairing intestinal barrier function, and modulating the brain-gut axis signaling pathway. It is suitable for the prevention and treatment of various types of depression, including major depressive disorder, postpartum depression, geriatric depression, and chronic stress-induced depression. The strain used in this invention is safe and highly compatible, and the preparation is convenient to administer, providing a novel microecological intervention scheme for the clinical prevention and treatment of depression, overcoming some limitations of existing antidepressant methods, and possessing good prospects for pharmaceutical development.
