Abstract: This study investigates the role of three commensal bacteria - Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, Bacteroides faecis, and Roseburia intestinalis - in maintaining intestinal barrier integrity and their potential to mitigate chronic inflammation, with a focus on Ulcerative Colitis (UC). Using in vitro and in vivo models, the study demonstrates that these bacteria alleviate inflammatory-induced impairment of the intestinal barrier, enhance barrier function, and mitigate pro-inflammatory processes.
