Abstract
Recently, the risk of viral infection has dramatically increased owing to changes in human ecology such as global warming and an increased geographical movement of people and goods. Howev-er, the efficacy of vaccines and remedies for infectious diseases is limited by the high mutation rates of viruses, especially, RNA viruses. Here, we comprehensively review the effectiveness of several probiot-ics and paraprobiotics (sterilized probiotics) for the prevention or treatment of virally-induced infectious diseases. We discuss the unique roles of these agents in modulating the cross-talk between commensal bacteria and the mucosal immune system. In addition, we provide an overview of the unique mechanism by which viruses are eliminated through the stimulation of type 1 interferon production by probiotics and paraprobiotics via the activation of dendritic cells. Although further detailed research is necessary in the future, probiotics and/or paraprobiotics are expected to be among the rational adjunctive options for the treatment of various viral diseases.

Howev-er, the efficacy of vaccines and remedies for infectious diseases is limited by the high mutation rates of viruses, especially, RNA viruses. Here, we comprehensively review the effectiveness of several probiot-ics and paraprobiotics (sterilized probiotics) for the prevention or treatment of virally-induced infectious diseases. We discuss the unique roles of these agents in modulating the cross-talk between commensal bacteria and the mucosal immune system. In addition, we provide an overview of the unique mechanism by which viruses are eliminated through the stimulation of type 1 interferon production by probiotics and paraprobiotics via the activation of dendritic cells. Although further detailed research is necessary in the future, probiotics and/or paraprobiotics are expected to be among the rational adjunctive options for the treatment of various viral diseases.</p></abstract><kwd-group kwd-group-type="author"><title>Keywords: </title><kwd>Probiotics</kwd><kwd>paraprobiotics</kwd><kwd>virus infection</kwd><kwd>interferon</kwd><kwd>plasmacytoid dendritic cell</kwd><kwd>vaccines</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body><sec id="sec1"><label>1</label><title>Inroduction</title><p>Various strategies, such as those using vaccines and antibiotics, have been exploited for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, but infection control has not yet been achieved at a sufficient level. In addition to avian influenza [<xref rid="r1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>], severe acute respiratory syndrome [<xref rid="r2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>], and Ebola hemorrhagic fever [<xref rid="r3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>], many problematic diseases of tropical origin remain poorly controlled, such as dengue fever and Zika virus infection [<xref rid="r4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>].</p><p>As climate change including global warming and the increased geographical movement of people and goods have emerged, the numbers of pathogenic virus species and affected areas have increased [<xref rid="r5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>]. Therefore, the risk of viral infection has now become a critical issue. A representative pathogenic virus, influenza virus, sometimes undergoes a process of discontinuous mutation. As a result, the efficacy of vaccines against influenza virus may become disrupted, and this phenomenon has sometimes caused pandemics [<xref rid="r6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>]. In Japan, the first case of Zika virus infection was reported in 2016 [<xref rid="r7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>]. Some cases infected with dengue virus were reported in 2014 after the virus had been absent for 70 years previously [<xref rid="r8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>]. In addition, influenza and Norovirus infections often occur seasonally.</p><p>With the progress of recent immunological research, the innate immune response and the subsequently activated acquired immune response for the recognition and elimination of viruses have been unveiled [<xref rid="r9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>]. It has been reported that the process of viral elimination largely depends on the induction of type 1 interferons (IFNs) [<xref rid="r10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>], and that the regulation of inflammatory cytokines is mediated via pattern recognition receptors such as Toll-like receptors [<xref rid="r9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>, <xref rid="r11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>] and retinoic-acid-inducible gene I [<xref rid="r12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>]. Studies have begun to elucidate the immunostimulatory effects of lactic acid bacteria and have reported their capacity to contribute to the prevention of viral infections including influenza [<xref rid="r13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>] as well as the treatment of <italic>Helicobacter pylori</italic> infection [<xref rid="r14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>]. As discussed in the following sections, type 1 IFNs are considered to be pivotal in mediating the protective effect of lactic acid bacteria against these infections.</p><p>In this review, we first summarize the recent preventive and therapeutic strategies against infectious diseases with special emphasis on the viral infection and then outline the possible applications of several probiotics and paraprobiotics as prophylactics or therapies against (viral) infectious diseases on the basis of published clinical trial data. Since it is very difficult to cite all studies regarding the effects of paraprobiotics or probiotics on virus infectious disease, we showed representative studies below with two criteria; 1) Single probiotics or paraprobiotics study in human clinical trial (excluded mixture of strains and animal studies), 2) Evaluation of efficacy on (viral) infectious disease.</p><p>Finally, we introduce the unique topic of immune defense mechanisms against viral infections that are induced by probiotics and paraprobiotics.</p></sec><sec id="sec2"><label>2</label><title>Preventive and Therapeutic Strategies Against Viral infections</title><p>Infectious diseases, especially nosocomial infections (i.e. influenza, pneumonia, methicillin-resistant <italic>Staphylococcus aureus</italic>, Norovirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus, <italic>etc</italic>.), have periodically caused widespread outbreaks and are considered to represent serious threats to public health [<xref rid="r15" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>, <xref rid="r16" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>]. In this review, we outline strategies for the prevention and treatment of infections of the upper respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts as representative infectious diseases. It is well known that influenza virus, rhinovirus, and respiratory syncytial virus play major roles in Upper Respiratory Tract Infections (URTIs), while norovirus and rotavirus are also important causes of gastrointestinal diseases.</p><p>It is generally acknowledged that the main prophylactic measures against these infectious diseases are vaccinations and everyday hygienic behaviors such as gargling and hand-washing. Nagatake <italic>et al</italic>. outlined that gargling with a povidone-iodine solution was effective to reduce the incidence of episodes of acute respiratory infections, since colonized bacteria were destroyed by gargling [<xref rid="r17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>]. Heijne <italic>et al</italic>. reported that enhanced hygienic measures including proper hand cleaning using soap and disposable paper towels effectively limited the transmission of norovirus during an outbreak [<xref rid="r18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>].</p><p>Although vaccines are promising prophylactics against influenza infection, their efficacy is limited by the frequent and fast mutation of RNA viruses including the influenza virus [<xref rid="r19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>]. Popular influenza treatment regimens include neuraminidase inhibitors and M2 ion channel protein inhibitors, which are both actively prescribed in clinical settings [<xref rid="r20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>]. Inhibitors of hemagglutinin, sialidase, nucleocapsid protein, or RNA-dependent RNA polymerase are also currently used [<xref rid="r19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>, <xref rid="r21" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>]. However, the development of acquired resistance against current anti-influenza drugs and emerging mutations of the influenza virus continue to present major challenges for the effective treatment of influenza.</p><p>Norovirus and rotavirus are representative gastrointestinal pathogens that are highly infectious and cause severe diarrhea [<xref rid="r22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>]. In the present situation, without an effective vaccine or medicine, the prevention of viral transmission must rely mainly on basic measures including quarantine and thorough hand washing after physical contact. In particular, rotavirus is resistant to chlorine and alcohol, although infection can be prevented by wiping contaminated sites with a 79% ethanol solution containing 0.1% <italic>o</italic>-phenylphenol [<xref rid="r23" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>]. Vaccination against neonates is also being conducted and has shown a good efficacy [<xref rid="r24" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>]. <italic>Norovirus</italic> is also highly contagious and resistant to alcohol. For contaminated sites, it is recommended to wipe with bleach containing more than 500 ppm of chlorine [<xref rid="r23" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>]. Vaccines for norovirus are currently under development. There are currently no effective treatments for either of these viral infections. Thus, the treatment that is generally recommended is to prevent the dehydration caused by diarrhea and vomiting by maintaining a sufficient fluid intake and wait for the virus to be eliminated from the gastrointestinal tract.</p></sec><sec id="sec3"><label>3</label><title>Prophylaxis and Medical Treatment of Infectious Diseases by Probiotics and Paraprobiotics</title><p>With the progress of research on the relationship between the microbiota and diseases in recent years, commensal intestinal bacteria have been investigated for their ability to modulate the host immune system, not only in healthy individuals but also in those who are suffering from a wide range of diseases [<xref rid="r25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>]. It has been revealed that commensal bacteria also regulate regulatory T cells, type 3 innate lymphoid cells, and T helper 17 cells through the recognition of the bacteria themselves or their metabolites/products by the immune cells and greatly affect mucosal immunity [<xref rid="r25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>-<xref rid="r29" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>].</p><p>Probiotics act on both the innate and acquired immune systems and have the potency to decrease the severity of infections in the gastrointestinal [<xref rid="r30" ref-type="bibr">30</xref>] and upper respiratory tracts [<xref rid="r13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>, <xref rid="r31" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>]. Probiotics are defined as live microorganisms that have health benefits for the host [<xref rid="r32" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>], and they are generally consumed as a component of fermented foods such as yoghurt, cheese, and pickles or as supplements. Recently, “ghost probiotics” or paraprobiotics were reported to retain their immunomodulatory potency beyond their viability [<xref rid="r33" ref-type="bibr">33</xref>]. Probiotics contain immunostimulatory substances such as lipoteichoic acid, peptidoglycan, and nucleic acid, which are Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands, and muramyl dipeptide, which is a Nod-like receptor ligand [<xref rid="r34" ref-type="bibr">34</xref>]. In the following sections, we focus on the effects of probiotics including paraprobiotics on viral infections. Particularly, we discuss representative probiotics that have shown unique preventive or therapeutic potencies against viral diseases in clinical studies (Table <bold><xref ref-type="table" rid="T1">1</xref></bold>).</p><sec id="sec3.1"><label>3.1</label><title><italic>Lactobacillus casei</italic> Shirota (LcS)</title><p>LcS reduced plasma cytomegalovirus and Epstein–Barr virus antibody titers in highly physically active people (university athletes) [<xref rid="r35" ref-type="bibr">35</xref>]. However, there was no significant difference in the incidence of norovirus-induced gastroenteritis between the LcS and control groups in long-stay elderly people at a health service facility [<xref rid="r36" ref-type="bibr">36</xref>]. Although the effectiveness of LcS remains controversial, a potential mechanism was reported wherein LcS was found to modulate the activity of natural killer (NK) cells, which are one of the first-line defense mechanisms against viral infection [<xref rid="r37" ref-type="bibr">37</xref>].</p></sec><sec id="sec3.2"><label>3.2</label><title><italic>Lactobacillus rhamnosus</italic> (LGG)</title><p>The preventive effects of LGG on experimental rhinovirus infections in healthy volunteers were evaluated.

Among the children with cryptosporidial diarrhea, those receiving LGG showed a significant improvement in intestinal permeability [<xref rid="r39" ref-type="bibr">39</xref>]. The mechanisms by which probiotics exert immunomodulatory effects are not completely understood. However, LGG was demonstrated to modulate the innate and adaptive immune responses, particularly those against gastrointestinal pathogens, resulting in increased levels of serum IgG and secretory IgA targeting enteric pathogens including rotavirus [<xref rid="r39" ref-type="bibr">39</xref>].</p></sec><sec id="sec3.3"><label>3.3</label><title><italic>Lactobacillus delbrueckii</italic> ssp. bulgaricus OLL1073R-1 (R-1)</title><p>The study demonstrated that the consumption of yoghurt fermented with R-1 augmented NK cell activity and reduced the risk of catching the common cold in elderly individuals [<xref rid="r40" ref-type="bibr">40</xref>].

Thus, these data strongly suggested that <italic>L. lactis</italic> JCM 5805 stimulated IFN-α production via TLR9/MyD88 signaling.

Although the benefits of vaccines and antiviral drugs for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases are obvious, their effectiveness is hindered by the large number of viral species and their subtypes as well as the high mutation rate of viruses. Since viruses evolve constantly and produce a serologically diverse viral population, it is challenging to establish an effective means of protecting humans from viral infections. There have been several clinical reports regarding the use of probiotics or paraprobiotics for the prophylaxis or treatment of infectious diseases. Here, we reviewed the literature regarding several probiotic or paraprobiotic agents based on the papers which described single paraprobiotics / probiotics in clinical trial to avoid the crosstalk or mutual interference between probiotics. Such agents are considered to be safe, affordable and easy to consume because of their long history of use in foods.</p><p>The state of knowledge regarding the immunomodulatory effects of probiotics has recently advanced and various studies have especially focused on the interactions between commensal bacteria and the mucosal immune system. Furthermore, the role of type 1 IFNs in the elimination of pathogenic viruses, which involves the concerted activities of the innate and acquired immune systems, has been widely studied.</p><p>In this review, we discussed the anti-influenza activity of <italic>L. lactis</italic> JCM 5805, which has the potency to directly stimulate pDCs via TLR9 and thereby promote viral control. Although further detailed research is necessary, probiotics and/or paraprobiotics are expected to be among the rational adjunctive options for the treatment and prophylaxis of viral infections.</p></sec><sec><title>Consent for Publication</title><p>Not applicable.</p></sec></body><back><ack><title>Acknowledgements</title><p>The authors deeply acknowledged Dr. Daisuke Fujiwara, Dr. Yuji Morita, Mr. Masaya Kanayama, and Mr. Ryohei Tsuji (Kirin company) for their constructive discussion.</p></ack><sec sec-type="competing-interests"><title>Conflict of Interest</title><p>The authors declare no conflict of interest, financial or otherwise.</p></sec><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="r1"><label>1</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Alan</surname><given-names>H.</given-names></name><name><surname>Ian</surname><given-names>B.</given-names></name><name><surname>Nancy</surname><given-names>C.</given-names></name><etal></etal></person-group><article-title>Improving the selection and development of influenza vaccine viruses - Report of a WHO informal consultation on improving influenza vaccine virus selection, Hong Kong SAR, China, 18-20 November 2015.</article-title><source>Vaccine</source><year>2017</year><volume>35</volume><fpage>1104</fpage><lpage>1109</lpage><pub-id pub-id-type="pmid">28131392</pub-id></element-citation></ref><ref id="r2"><label>2</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Liu</surname><given-names>S.</given-names></name><name><surname>Chan</surname><given-names>T.C.</given-names></name><name><surname>Chu</surname><given-names>Y.T.</given-names></name><etal></etal></person-group><article-title>Comparative Epidemiology of Human Infections with Middle East Respiratory Syndrome and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronaviruses among Healthcare Personnel.</article-title><source>PLoS One</source><year>2016</year><volume>11</volume><fpage>e0149988</fpage><pub-id pub-id-type="pmid">26930074</pub-id></element-citation></ref><ref id="r3"><label>3</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>El Sayed</surname><given-names>S.M.</given-names></name><name><surname>Abdelrahman</surname><given-names>A.A.</given-names></name><name><surname>Ozbak</surname><given-names>H.A.</given-names></name><etal></etal></person-group><article-title>Updates in diagnosis and management of Ebola hemorrhagic fever.</article-title><source>J.
