All of the studies you cited were performed by the same research team. I am surprised that they didn't extend this experiment beyond 14 days. Whereas probiotic treatment reduced inflammatory markers, it did NOT produce the behavioral effects that would have indicated an effective antidepressant treatment. Perhaps it would have had they continued the experiment. Perhaps not. In any event, I would interpret the results of this study as failing to support their hypothesis that probiotics produce antidepressant effects, and does not lend support to the notion that inflammation causes depression.

"Sprague-Dawley rats were treated for 14 days with B. infantis. Probiotic administration in naive rats had no effect on swim behaviours on day 3 or day 14 following the commencement of treatment."
