摘要： To investigate the regulatory effect of a bacteriocin-producing strain of Enterococcus faecalis DH9003 on the gut microbiota of mice, 15 healthy C57 male mice were randomly administered an equal volume of sterile normal saline (HD, control group, n = 7) and E. faecalis DH9003 (YD, treatment group, n = 8) via gavage. Metagenomic and metabolomic analyses were performed to determine the composition and metabolic function of the intestinal microbiota in mice. The results showed that the relative abundance of Firmicutes continuously increased over time in YD compared to HD. The number of E. faecalis DH9003 increased slowly and remained steady from days 7 to 28, indicating that E. faecalis DH9003 could colonize a considerable number of mouse guts via intragastric administration. Supplementation with E. faecalis DH9003 demonstrated a regulatory effect on the intestinal microbiota composition of mice, causing a shift in the relative abundance of Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes at the phylum level. In addition, a total of 2426 different metabolites were found in mouse feces, including 1286 and 1140 metabolites in positive and negative modes, respectively. Vitamin B6 and succinate were the most regulated and downregulated metabolites in negative ion mode, and the most upregulated and downregulated metabolites in positive ion mode were N-methyl-glutamic acid and N-octanoyl sphingosine. In conclusion, E. faecalis DH9003 can colonize mice gut, affecting the gut microbiota and metabolic competence. This strain therefore offers considerable potential for application as a probiotic.
