Abstract
Infection with Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) is one of the main causes for food- and water-borne diseases, and is a major concern to public health for both humans and animals worldwide. Some fimbrial antigens expressed by SE strains have been described and characterized, containing SEF14, SEF17, SEF21, long polar fimbriae and plasmid-encoded fimbriae, they play a role in bacterial survival in the host or external environment. However, their functions remain to be well elucidated, with the initial attachment and binding for fimbriae-mediated SE infections only minimally understood. Meanwhile, host-pathogen interactions provide insights into receptor modulation of the host innate immune system. Therefore, to well understand the pathogenicity of SE bacteria and to comprehend the host response to infection, the host cell-SE interactions need to be characterized. This review describes SE fimbriae receptors with an emphasis on the interaction between the receptor and SE fimbriae.

Abstract
Purpose
This paper aims to focus on the utilisation of pre- and probiotics for oral care and the state of knowledge at this time.
Design/methodology/approach
Pre- and probiotics describe beneficial carbohydrates and microbiota, respectively, for optimal gut health. Carbohydrates provide energy selectively for the gut-friendly bacteria. The use of both carbohydrates and bacteria is, however, being expanded into other areas of the body – including the skin, vagina and oral cavity – for health-related applications.
Findings
There is increased interest in both pre- and probiotics for oral care products. The importance of oral microflora and their selective substrates is discussed against a background of contemporary oral care approaches. The issues and benefits are discussed in this review.
Originality/value
It is clear that consumption of prebiotics and probiotics may play a role as potential prophylactic or therapeutic agents for reducing the presence of organisms in the mouth associated with tooth decay. To confirm a beneficial effect of pre- and probiotics further in vivo studies involving healthy human volunteers should be considered.
