Qing-Kai-Ling oral liquid alleviated pneumonia via regulation of intestinal flora and metabolites in rats

Abstract

Our findings indicated that QKL could potentially modulate intestinal flora dysbiosis, improve host-microbiota co-metabolism dysregulation and regulate gene expression in the lungs, thereby mitigating LPS-induced pneumonia in rats. The study may provide new ideas for the clinical application and further development of QKL.
