Abstract
Pathogenic bacterial biofilms present significant challenges, particularly in food safety and material deterioration. Therefore, using Enterococcus mundtii A2, known for its antagonistic activity against pathogen adhesion, could serve as a novel strategy to reduce pathogenic colonization within the food sector. This study aimed to investigate the biofilm-forming ability of E. mundtii A2, isolated from camel milk, on two widely used stainless steels within the agri-food domain and to assess its anti-adhesive properties against various pathogens, especially on stainless steel 316L. Additionally, investigations into auto-aggregation and co-aggregation were also conducted. Plate count methodologies revealed increased biofilm formation by E. mundtii A2 on 316L, followed by 304L. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed a dense yet thin biofilm layer, playing a critical role in reducing the adhesion of L. monocytogenes CECT 4032 and Staphylococcus aureus CECT 976, with a significant reduction of ≈ 2 Log CFU/cm2. However, Gram-negative strains, P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and E. coli ATCC 25922, exhibit modest adhesion reduction (~ 0.7 Log CFU/cm2). The findings demonstrate the potential of applying E. mundtii A2 biofilms as an effective strategy to reduce the adhesion and propagation of potentially pathogenic bacterial species on stainless steel 316L.

Abstract
Microbial colonization on the titanium condenser material (TCM) used in the cooling system leads to biofouling and corrosion and influences the water supply. The primary investigation of the titanium condenser was infrequently studied on characterizing biofilm-forming bacterial communities. Different treatment methods like electropotential charge, ultrasonication, and copper coating of titanium condenser material may influence the microbial population over the surface of the titanium condensers. The present study aimed to catalog the primary colonizers and the effect of different treatment methods on the microbial community. CFU (1.7 × 109 CFU/mL) and ATP count (< 5000 × 10-7 relative luminescence units) showed a minimal microbial population in copper-coated surface biofilm as compared with the other treatments. Live and dead cell result also showed consistency with colony count. The biofilm sample on the copper-coated surface showed an increased dead cell count and decreased live cells. In the metagenomic approach, the microbiome coverage was 10.06 Mb in samples derived from copper-coated TCM than in other treated samples (electropotential charge-17.94 Mb; ultrasonication-20.01 Mb), including control (10.18 Mb). Firmicutes preponderate the communities in the biofilm samples, and Proteobacteria stand next in the population in all the treated condenser materials. At the genus level, Lactobacillaceae and Azospirillaceae dominated the biofilm community. The metagenome data suggested that the attached community is different from those biofilm samples based on the environment that influences the bacterial community. The outcome of the present study depicts that copper coating was effective against biofouling and corrosion resistance of titanium condenser material for designing long-term durability.

Abstract
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a challenging complication that can occur following joint replacement surgery. Efficacious strategies to prevent and treat PJI and its recurrence remain elusive. Commensal bacteria within the gut convey beneficial effects through a defense strategy named "colonization resistance" thereby preventing pathogenic infection along the intestinal surface. This blueprint may be applicable to PJI. The aim is to investigate Lactobacillus acidophilus spp. and their isolated extracellular-derived proteins (LaEPs) on PJI-relevant Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant S. aureus, and Escherichia coli planktonic growth and biofilm formation in vitro. The effect of LaEPs on cultured macrophages and osteogenic, and adipogenic human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell differentiation is analyzed. Data show electrostatically-induced probiotic-pathogen species co-aggregation and pathogenic growth inhibition together with LaEP-induced biofilm prevention. LaEPs prime macrophages for enhanced microbial phagocytosis via cathepsin K, reduce lipopolysaccharide-induced DNA damage and receptor activator nuclear factor-kappa B ligand expression, and promote a reparative M2 macrophage morphology under chronic inflammatory conditions. LaEPs also significantly augment bone deposition while abating adipogenesis thus holding promise as a potential multimodal therapeutic strategy. Proteomic analyses highlight high abundance of lysyl endopeptidase, and urocanate reductase. Further, in vivo analyses are warranted to elucidate their role in the prevention and treatment of PJIs.

Abstract
The emergence of antimicrobial resistance remains one of the greatest public health concerns. Biofilm formation has been postulated as a mechanism of microbial pathogens to resist antimicrobial agents. Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) and their metabolites have been proposed to combat bacterial biofilms due to their antimicrobial activity. In this vein, the aim of the present study was to investigate the biofilm removal potential of cell-free supernatants (CFSs) of five wild-type Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus strains, isolated from Greek natural products, in comparison to the commercially available L. rhamnosus GG strain, against biofilms formed by common foodborne pathogens (Salmonella Enteritidis, Salmonella Typhimurium, Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus). The biofilm removal activity of LAB was assessed on a two-day-old mature biofilm using a microtiter plate-based procedure. Both non-neutralized and neutralized CFSs removed biofilms in a concentration-dependent manner. The biofilm removal activity of the non-neutralized CFSs was significantly higher compared to the neutralized CFSs, as expected, with ranges of 60-89% and 30-80%, respectively. The biofilm removal efficiency of L. rhamnosus OLXAL-3 was significantly higher among the wild-type L. rhamnosus strains tested (20-100% v/v). In conclusion, our results suggest the great potential of the application of wild-type L. rhamnosus strain' CFSs as effective natural agents against pathogenic bacterial biofilms.

Abstract
Enterococcus species are commensal organisms of the gastrointestinal tract and can also be isolated from traditional food products. They are used as probiotics in animals and less often in humans. This study aimed to investigate the antibacterial and anti-adhesive activities of twelve food-origin Enterococcus spp. biofilms on stainless steel AISI 316 L against foodborne pathogens, including Listeria monocytogenes CECT4032, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC27853, and Escherichia coli ATCC25922. The antimicrobial and co-aggregation abilities of Enterococcus spp. were evaluated using spots-agar test and spectrophotometry aggregation assay, respectively. The anti-adhesive activity of selected strains on pathogenic bacteria was tested using serial dilution technique. Enterococci strains in planktonic mode showed strong inhibition activity against different pathogens tested with a significant difference in co-aggregation capacity. Moreover, L. monocytogenes and E. coli presented a low auto-aggregation rate compared to P. aeruginosa, which showed an amount of 11.25%. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that biofilm biomass of Enterococcus spp. increased after 10 days. The thick layer of enterococci biofilms on AISI 316 L caused a low adhesion of L. monocytogenes, resulting in a reduction of approximately 2.8 log CFU/cm² for some selected strains. Additionally, Enterococcus monocultures' biofilms were more efficient than polymicrobial cultures (a cocktail of enterococci strains) in controlling pathogen adhesion. These results indicate that monocultures of Enterococcus spp. biofilms could be used to prevent the adhesion of pathogenic bacteria on AISI 316 L.

Abstract
Combatting the rapidly growing threat of antimicrobial resistance and reducing prevalence and transmission of ESKAPEE pathogens in healthcare settings requires innovative strategies, one of which is displacing these pathogens using beneficial microorganisms. Our review comprehensively examines the evidence of probiotic bacteria displacing ESKAPEE pathogens, with a focus on inanimate surfaces. A systematic search was conducted using the PubMed and Web of Science databases on 21 December 2021, and 143 studies were identified examining the effects of Lactobacillaceae and Bacillus spp. cells and products on the growth, colonization, and survival of ESKAPEE pathogens. While the diversity of study methods limits evidence analysis, results presented by narrative synthesis demonstrate that several species have the potential as cells or their products or supernatants to displace nosocomial infection-causing organisms in a variety of in vitro and in vivo settings. Our review aims to aid the development of new promising approaches to control pathogen biofilms in medical settings by informing researchers and policymakers about the potential of probiotics to combat nosocomial infections. More targeted studies are needed to assess safety and efficacy of different probiotic formulations, followed by large-scale studies to assess utility in infection control and medical practice.

Abstract
Microorganisms exist along the food chain and impact the quality and safety of foods in both positive and negative ways. Identifying and understanding the behavior of these microbial communities enable the implementation of preventative or corrective measures in public health and food industry settings. Current culture-dependent microbial analyses are time-consuming and target only specific subsets of microbes. However, the greater use of culture-independent meta-omic approaches has the potential to facilitate a thorough characterization of the microbial communities along the food chain. Indeed, these methods have shown potential in contributing to outbreak investigation, ensuring food authenticity, assessing the spread of antimicrobial resistance, tracking microbial dynamics during fermentation and processing, and uncovering the factors along the food chain that impact food quality and safety. This review examines the community-based approaches, and particularly the application of sequencing-based meta-omics strategies, for characterizing microbial communities along the food chain. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Food Science and Technology, Volume 13 is March 2022. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of dual-species biofilms of Listeria monocytogenes with Lactobacillus plantarum on the anti-Listeria activity of a hydrogen peroxide/peracetic acid based commercial disinfectant (P3, Oxonia) when using conditions approaching the food industry environment. Nine strains of L. monocytogenes, including eight persistent strains collected from the meat industry and one laboratory control strain, were used in mono and in dual-species biofilms with a strain of L. plantarum. Biofilms were produced on stainless steel coupons (SSCs), at 11°C (low temperature) or at 25°C (control temperature), in TSB-YE (control rich medium) or in 1/10 diluted TSB-YE (mimicking the situation of biofilm formation after a deficient industrial cleaning procedure). The biofilm forming ability of the strains was evaluated by enumeration of viable cells, and the antibiofilm activity of P3 was assessed by the log reduction of viable cells on SSC. In both nutrient conditions and at low temperature, there was no significant difference (p > 0.05) between L. monocytogenes biofilm forming ability in mono- and in dual-species biofilms. In dual-species biofilms, L. monocytogenes was the dominant species. However, it was generally more susceptible to the lower concentration of P3 0.5% (v/v) than in pure culture biofilms. The presence of L. plantarum, although without significant interference in the number of viable cells of L. monocytogenes, enhanced the efficacy of the anti-Listeria activity of P3, since dual-species biofilms were easier to control. The results presented here reinforce the importance of the investigation into co-culture biofilms produced in food industry conditions, namely at low temperatures, when susceptibility to sanitizers is being assessed.

Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) exert antagonistic activities against diverse microorganisms, including pathogens. In this work, we aimed to investigate the ability of LAB strains isolated from food to produce biofilms and to inhibit growth and surface colonization of Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7 at 10°C. The ability of 100 isolated LAB to inhibit EHEC O157:H7 NCTC12900 growth was evaluated in agar diffusion assays. Thirty-seven LAB strains showed strong growth inhibitory effect on EHEC. The highest inhibitory activities corresponded to LAB strains belonging to Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, Pediococcus acidilactici and Pediococcus pentosaceus species. Eighteen out of the 37 strains that showed growth inhibitory effects on EHEC also had the ability to form biofilms on polystyrene surfaces at 10°C and 30°C. Pre-established biofilms on polystyrene of four of these LAB strains were able to reduce significantly surface colonization by EHEC at low temperature (10°C). Among these four strains, Lact. plantarum CRL 1075 not only inhibited EHEC but also was able to grow in the presence of the enteric pathogen. Therefore, this strain proved to be a good candidate for further technological studies oriented to its application in food-processing environments to mitigate undesirable surface contaminations of E. coli.

Abstract
Listeria monocytogenes is a major foodborne pathogen that adversely affects the food industry. In this study, 6 anti-listerial lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolates were screened. These anti-listerial LAB isolates were identified via 16S rRNA gene sequencing and analyzed via repetitive extragenic palindromic-PCR. Probiotic assessment of these isolates, comprising an evaluation of the antibiotic susceptibility, tolerance to lysozyme, simulated gastric and intestinal juices, and gut conditions (low pH, bile salts, and 0.4% phenol), was carried out. Most of the isolates were resistant to streptomycin, vancomycin, gentamycin, kanamycin, and ciprofloxacin. All of the isolates were negative for virulence genes, including agg, ccf, cylA, cylB, cylLL, cylLS, cylM, esp, and gelE, and hemolytic activity. Furthermore, autoinducer-2 (a quorum-sensing molecule) was detected and quantified via HPLC with fluorescence detection after derivatization with 2,3-diaminonaphthalene. Metabolites profiles of the Lactobacillus sakei D.7 and Lactobacillus plantarum I.60 were observed and presented various organic acids linked with antibacterial activity. Moreover, freeze-dried cell-free supernatants from Lb. sakei (55 mg/mL) and Lb. plantarum (40 mg/mL) showed different minimum effective concentration (MEC) against L. monocytogenes in the food model (whole milk). In summary, these anti-listerial LAB isolates do not pose a risk to consumer health, are eco-friendly, and may be promising candidates for future use as bioprotective cultures and new probiotics to control contamination by L. monocytogenes in the food and dairy industries.

Biofilms harbour Clostridioides difficile, serving as a reservoir for recurrent infection. NPJ Biofilms Microbiomes 2021; 7:16.

Abstract
C. difficile infection (CDI) is a worldwide healthcare problem with ~30% of cases failing primary therapy, placing a burden on healthcare systems and increasing patient morbidity. We have little understanding of why these therapies fail. Here, we use a clinically validated in vitro gut model to assess the contribution of biofilms towards recurrent disease and to investigate biofilm microbiota-C. difficile interactions. Initial experiments show that C. difficile cells became associated with the colonic biofilm microbiota and are not depleted by vancomycin or faecal microbiota transplant therapies. We observe that transferring biofilm encased C. difficile cells into a C. difficile naïve but CDI susceptible model induces CDI. Members of the biofilm community can impact C. difficile biofilm formation by acting either antagonistically or synergistically. We highlight the importance of biofilms as a reservoir for C. difficile, which can be a cause for recurrent infections.

A strategy to control colonization of pathogens: embedding of lactic acid bacteria on the surface of urinary catheter. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2020; 104:9053-9066. [PMID: 32949279 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-020-10903-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2020] [Revised: 09/04/2020] [Accepted: 09/10/2020] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
Indwelling urinary catheterization is one of the major causes of urinary tract infection (UTI) in hospitalized patients worldwide. A catheter serves as a surface for the colonization and formation of biofilm by UTI-related pathogenic bacteria. To combat the biofilm formation on its surface, several strategies have already been employed such as coating it with antibiofilm and antimicrobial compounds. For instance, the application of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) offers a potential strategy for the treatment of biofilm formation on the surface of the urinary catheter due to its ability to kill the pathogenic bacteria. The killing of pathogenic bacteria by LAB occurs via the production of antimicrobial compounds such as lactic acid, bacteriocin, and hydrogen peroxide. LAB also displays a competitive exclusion mechanism to prevent the adhesion of pathogens on the surfaces. Hence, LAB has been extensively applied as a bacteriotherapy to combat infectious diseases. Several strategies have been employed to attach LAB to a surface, but its easy detachment during long time exposure becomes one of the drawbacks in its application. Here, we have proposed a novel strategy for its adhesion on the surface of the urinary catheter with the utilization of mannose-specific adhesin (Msa) protein in a way similar as uropathogenic bacteria interacts between Msa present on the tip of the type I fimbriae/pilus and the mannose moieties on the host epithelial cell surfaces. KEY POINTS: • Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the common hospital-acquired infections, which is associated with the application of an indwelling urinary catheter. • Based on the competitive exclusions properties of LAB, attachment of the LAB on the catheter surface would be a promising approach to control the formation of pathogenic biofilm. • The strategy employed for the adhesion of LAB is via a covalent interaction of its mannose-specific adhesin (Msa) protein to the mannose residues grafted on the catheter surface.

Abstract
Nine strains of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and one strain of Lacticaseibacillus paracasei that were recently isolated from prickly pears, fresh figs and blackberries, which are traditionally and largely consumed fruits in Kabylia (north of Algeria), were studied here for their antagonism and antioxidant properties as well as for production of exopolysaccharides. With respect to their inhibitory properties, these strains were tested against three food representative pathogens including Escherichia coli ATCC 8739, Staphylococcus aureus 2S6 and Listeria monocytogenes 162. The antagonism of these pathogens was attributable to lactic acid production, present in the cell free supernatant, at concentrations ranging from 9 to 16.74 g/L. The anti-adhesive properties observed on polystyrene or eukaryotic Caco-2 cells were exerted in a strain dependent-manner. Indeed, the scores obtained ranged from 27% to 75% for S. aureus 2S6, 54% to 95% for L. monocytogenes 162, and 50% to 97% for E. coli ATCC 8739. The co-aggregation of these Lactobacillus strains with the aforementioned target bacteria appeared to be exerted in a strain-dependent manner, with noticeably the upmost rate for Lb. paracasei FB1 on S. aureus 2S6. Interestingly, these novel Lactobacillus strains were able to produce a large amount (315.55 to 483.22 mg/L) of exopolysaccharides, and showed a significant scavenging activity on the 2,2-di-phényl-2-picrylhydrazyle (DPPH) synthetic free radical with rates of 51% to 56%. Of note, the highest antioxidant activity was observed for Lb. paracasei FB1 using the culture supernatants, intact cells or the intracellular extract. The statistical analysis of these data using the principal component analysis (ACP) enabled us to establish three distinct clusters with potential applications as bioprotective and/or probiotic agents, following further evaluation.

Abstract
The production of antimicrobial molecules often involves complex biological pathways. This study aimed at understanding the metabolic and physiological networks of enterocin EntDD14-associated function, in the bacteriocinogenic strain, Enterococcus faecalis 14. A global and comparative transcriptomic study was carried out on E. faecalis 14 and its isogenic mutant Δbac, inactivated in genes coding for EntDD14. The in vitro ability to form biofilm on polystyrene plates was assessed by the crystal violet method, while the cytotoxicity on human colorectal adenocarcinoma Caco-2 cells was determined by the Cell Counting Kit-8. Transcriptomic data revealed that 71 genes were differentially expressed in both strains. As expected, genes coding for EntDD14 were downregulated in the Δbac mutant, whereas the other 69 genes were upregulated. Upregulated genes were associated with phage-related chromosomal islands, biofilm formation capability, resistance to environmental stresses, and metabolic reprogramming. Interestingly, the Δbac mutant showed an improved bacterial growth, a high capacity to form biofilm on inanimate surfaces and a very weak cytotoxicity level. These multiple metabolic rearrangements delineate a new line of defense to counterbalance the loss of EntDD14.

Abstract
The objectives of this study were to isolate lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from a raw Moroccan camel milk collected after the incorporation of a specific Argane by-products diet, and to investigate their technological properties as well as their probiotic features. The molecular identification of the isolates indicated that they belong to Weissella confusa, Weissella cibaria or Enterococcus durans species. Our results revealed that the tested isolates have a fast acidifying ability (values ranging between 0.045 ± 0.01 to 0.93 ± 0.01 after only 4 h incubation), important proteolysis, autolysis, lipolytic activities and an important diacetyl and exopolysaccharides production. All these isolates demonstrated a high tolerance to gastrointestinal conditions, namely to gastric simulated juice (survival rate ranged between 75.05 ± 7.88 and 85.55 ± 1.77%) and to bile salts (survival rate between 42.79 ± 1.11 and 82.75 ± 1.01%). The autoaggregation, hydrophobicity and antioxidant activity mean values of the isolates were 13.26-41.16%, 13.23-54.47% and 47.57-63.31%, respectively. Importantly, LAB cultures exhibited antibacterial activity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive pathogenic bacteria and none of the tested isolates presented antibiotic resistance, haemolytic or DNase activities. This study revealed interesting properties for LAB isolated and supported their utilization as autochthone starters for camel milk fermentation that represent a challenge process. These results presented as well the probiotic potential for a possible human consumption.

Abstract
In vitro activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilm producers from blood cultures of patients with prosthetic hip infections was evaluated. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) for AP7121 was determined and the bactericidal activity of AP7121 (MICx1, MICx4) against planktonic cells was studied at 4, 8 and 24 h. The biofilms formed were incubated with AP7121 (MICx1, MICx4) for 1 and 24 h. The anti-adhesion effect of an AP7121-treated inert surface over the highest MIC isolate was studied with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The bactericidal activity of AP7121 against all the planktonic staphylococcal cells was observed at 4 h at both peptide concentrations. Dose-dependent anti-biofilm activity was detected. AP7121 (MICx4) showed bactericidal activity at 24 h in all isolates. SEM confirmed prevention of biofilm formation. This research showed the in vitro anti-biofilm activity of AP7121 against MRSA and S. epidermidis and the prevention of biofilm formation by them on an abiotic surface.

Abstract
In this study, we explored the effect of three lactic acid bacteria (LAB), i.e. Enterococcus sp CM9, Enterococcus sp CM18 and Enterococcus faecium H3, and their supernatants, on seven biofilm-forming pathogenic strains isolated from human urinary tract or nose infections. By quantitative biofilm production assay, a strong adherence ability of Enterococcus sp CM9 and Enterococcus sp CM18 was revealed while E. faecium H3 resulted to be moderately adherent. Inhibition tests demonstrated an antimicrobial activity of LAB against pathogens.The presence of cell free supernatant (CFS) of CM9 and CM18 strains significantly decreased the adhesion of S. aureus 10,850, S. epidermidis 4,296 and E. coli FSL24. The CFS of H3 strain was effective against S. epidermidis 4,296 and P. aeruginosa PA1FSL biofilms only. Biofilm formation of K. pneumoniae Kp20FSL, A. baumannii AB8FSL and ESBL+ E. coli FS101570 have not been affected by any CSF while P. aeruginosa PA1FSL biofilm increase in presence of CM9 and CM18 CFS.Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy revealed that K. pneumoniae Kp20FSL biofilm was inhibited by Enterococcus sp CM9, when grown together.Our results suggest that the LAB strains and/or their bacteriocins can be considered as potential tools to control biofilm formation of some bacterial pathogens.

Abstract
Lactobacilli strains are considered as a preventive means for treatment of vaginal infections or post-antibiotic treatment to repopulate the vaginal mucosa. This study aimed at establishing the vaginal lactobacillus profile of Algerian women with different vaginal diseases. Afterwards, lactobacilli isolated from swabs were in vitro characterized for their probiotic hallmarks. This prospective study allowed isolation of 44 Lactobacillus strains and 160 potentially pathogens, among which are Escherichia coli (50 isolates), Staphylococcus sp. (38 isolates), Enterococcus sp. (16 isolates), and Candida sp. (56 isolates). All Lactobacilli strains were characterized for their antagonism, adhesion to polystyrene, and resistance to acidity and bile. Consequently, six Lactobacillus strains (Lb. fermentum 5LB4, 5LB10, 5LB12, Lb. plantarum 5LB2, 5LB11, and Lactobacillus sp. 4LB9) were moderately or weakly adherent, and 35 potentially pathogens exhibited weak to strong adhesion to polystyrene. Antagonism was recorded for 36 Lactobacillus strains towards E. coli 6E2, S. aureus 7S3, Enterococcus sp. 5EN8, and Candida albicans C1 used as indicator organisms. Finally, Lb. fermentum 9LB6, 4LB16, and 10LB1 and Lb. plantarum 9LB4 were remarkable for their inhibitory activity, absence of hemolytic potential, and for their resistance to acidity (pH 1.5) and bile (0.5%) harsh conditions.

Abstract
Biofilm-associated bacterial infections represent one of the major threats to modern medical treatments. Bacteria encased in biofilm matrix are more resistant towards antimicrobials and thus the capability of microbes to persist and nurture in a biofilm seems to be the foremost aspect of pathogenesis and therapeutic failure. Therefore, there is a pressing demand for new drugs active against microbial biofilms. In the current study, anti-biofilm potential of Lactobacillus spp. cell-free supernatants (CFSs) against Cronobacter sakazakii and Listeria monocytogenes was characterized using crystal violet staining and MTT assay. CFSs of goat milk origin lactobacilli not only prevented biofilm formation but also disrupted preformed biofilms. Neutralized and heat-treated preparations of Lactobacillus CFSs also inhibited biofilm formation by test pathogens. The results were quantitatively confirmed by light and fluorescent microscopy observations. Biofilms developed under static conditions displayed typical compact microcolonies with uniform distribution over the surface, while upon CFS challenge, biofilms were disrupted with presence of dead cells. These findings highlight the anti-biofilm potency of Lactobacillus spp. strains of goat milk origin and their potential application in food industries.

Abstract
This study was carried out to investigate the stability, antibacterial properties and biofilm removal potential of cell-free supernatant (CFS) of Lactobacillus acidophilus LA5 and Lactobacillus casei 431 against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923. Antibacterial activity of both Lactobacillus strains was measured according to the agar spot method. The CFS was prepared by centrifugation of bacterial suspension at 4000 g for 10 min and the antimicrobial activity was measured using agar-well diffusion. The stability of CFSs during storage at 4.00 ± 2.00 °C and 25.00 ± 2.00 °C for a period of 4 weeks was measured based on the method of broth micro-dilution assay. Moreover, biofilm removal potential of CFS on 2-days-old biofilm of S. aureus developed on polystyrene and glass surfaces was also determined. The efficacy of CFS on bacterial biofilm established on the glass surface was also observed using fluorescence microscope. Results showed that inhibition zones of L. acidophilus (50.26 mm) were greater than L. casei (37.06 mm). The minimum inhibitory concentration of both CFSs remained stable (40 mg mL-1) during the storage for 28 days at 4.00 and 25.00 °C and storage temperature did not affect the antibacterial effectiveness of CFS. The addition of both CFSs significantly removed biofilm developed on both tested surfaces in a concentration-dependent manner. Biofilm removal property of L. acidophilus CFS was generally better than L. casei CFS which was confirmed by fluorescence microscope. The application of CFS of probiotic strains (i.e. Lactobacillus) as antibacterial and biofilm removal compounds could be very suitable to control the growth of food-borne pathogens.

Abstract
Bacteriocins are antimicrobial peptides produced by bacteria Gram-negative and Gram-positive, including lactic acid bacteria (LAB), organisms that are traditionally used in food preservation practices. Bacteriocins have been shown to have an aptitude as biofilm controlling agents in Listeria monocytogenes biofilms, a major risk for consumers and the food industry. Biofilms protect pathogens from sanitization procedures, allowing them to survive and persist in processing facilities, resulting in the cross-contamination of the end products. Studies have been undertaken on bacteriocinogenic LAB, their bacteriocins, and bioengineered bacteriocin derivatives for controlling L. monocytogenes biofilms on different surfaces through inhibition, competition, exclusion, and displacement. These alternative strategies can be considered promising in preventing the development of resistance to conventional sanitizers and disinfectants. Bacteriocins are "friendly" antimicrobial agents, and with high prevalence in nature, they do not have any known associated public health risk. Most trials have been carried out in vitro, on food contact materials such as polystyrene and stainless steel, while there have been few studies performed in situ to consolidate the results observed in vitro. There are strategies that can be employed for prevention and eradication of L. monocytogenes biofilms (such as the establishment of standard cleaning procedures using the available agents at proper concentrations). However, commercial cocktails using alternatives compounds recognized as safe and environmental friendly can be an alternative approach to be applied by the industries in the future.

Abstract
The emergence of antibiotic-resistant and food-spoilage microorganisms has renewed efforts to identify safe and natural alternative agents of antibiotics such as probiotics. The aim of this study was the isolation of lactobacilli as potential probiotics from local dairy products with broad antibacterial and anti-biofilm activities against antibiotic-resistant strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and determination of their inhibition mechanism. Antibiotic susceptibility and classification of acquired resistance profiles of 80 P. aeruginosa strains were determined based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) new definition as multidrug-resistant (MDR), extensively drug-resistant (XDR), and pan-drug-resistant (PDR) followed by antibacterial assessment of lactobacilli against them by different methods. Among the 80 P. aeruginosa strains, 1 (1.3%), 50 (62.5%), and 78 (97.5%) were PDR, XDR, and MDR, respectively, and effective antibiotics against them were fosfomycin and polymyxins. Among 57 isolated lactobacillus strains, two strains which were identified as Lactobacillus fermentum using biochemical and 16S rDNA methods showed broad inhibition/killing and anti-biofilm effects against all P. aeruginosa strains. They formed strong biofilms and had bile salts and low pH tolerance. Although investigation of inhibition mechanism of these strains showed no bacteriocin production, results obtained by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis indicated that their inhibitory effect was the result of production of three main organic acids including lactic acid, acetic acid, and formic acid. Considering the broad activity of these two L. fermentum strains, they can potentially be used in bio-control of drug-resistant strains of P. aeruginosa.

Isolation, Molecular Characterization and Probiotic Potential of Lactic Acid Bacteria in Saudi Raw and Fermented Milk. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2018; 2018:7970463.

Abstract
Probiotic bacteria can confer health benefits to the human gastrointestinal tract. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are candidate probiotic bacteria that are widely distributed in nature and can be used in the food industry. The objective of this study is to isolate and characterize LAB present in raw and fermented milk in Saudi Arabia. Ninety-three suspected LAB were isolated from thirteen different types of raw and fermented milk from indigenous animals in Saudi Arabia. The identification of forty-six selected LAB strains and their genetic relatedness was performed based on 16S rDNA gene sequence comparisons. None of the strains exhibited resistance to clinically relevant antibiotics or had any undesirable hemolytic activity, but they differed in their other probiotic characteristics, that is, tolerance to acidic pH, resistance to bile, and antibacterial activity. In conclusion, the isolates Lactobacillus casei MSJ1, Lactobacillus casei Dwan5, Lactobacillus plantarum EyLan2, and Enterococcus faecium Gail-BawZir8 are most likely the best with probiotic potentials. We speculate that studying the synergistic effects of bacterial combinations might result in a more effective probiotic potential. We suspect that raw and fermented milk products from animals in Saudi Arabia, especially Laban made from camel milk, are rich in LAB and have promising probiotic potential.

Abstract
The globalization of trade and lifestyle ensure that the factors responsible for the emergence of diseases are more present than ever. Despite biotechnology advancements, meat-based foods are still under scrutiny because of the presence of pathogens, which causes a loss of consumer confidence and consequently a fall in demand. In this context, Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) as GRAS organisms offer an alternative for developing pathogen-free foods, particularly avoiding Listeria monocytogenes, with minimal processing and fewer additives while maintaining the foods' sensorial characteristics. The use of LAB strains, enabling us to produce antimicrobial peptides (bacteriocins) in addition to lactic acid, with an impact on quality and safety during fermentation, processing, and/or storage of meat and ready-to-eat (RTE) meat products, constitutes a promising tool. A number of bacteriocin-based strategies including the use of bioprotective cultures, purified and/or semi-purified bacteriocins as well as their inclusion in varied packaging materials under different storage conditions, have been investigated. The application of bacteriocins as part of hurdle technology using non-thermal technologies was explored for the preservation of RTE meat products. Likewise, considering that food contamination with L. monocytogenes is a consequence of the post-processing manipulation of RTE foods, the role of bacteriocinogenic LAB in the control of biofilms formed on industrial surfaces is also discussed.

Abstract
Lactobacillus pentosus KF923750 was characterised for probiotic related properties and then characterised for cholesterol uptake in vitro as well as in vivo using rabbits fed a high-cholesterol diet. The survival percentage of L. pentosus KF923750 was 100% at pH 3, 52.18% at pH 2 and 36.21% at pH 2 plus pepsin. Similarly, this strain appeared resistant to bile (0.1% [98.42%], 0.3% [88.52%], 0.5% [75.60%] and 1% [71.15%]), after 4 h exposure. Moreover, L. pentosus KF923750 controlled growth of Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 through the production of a bacteriocin-like inhibitory substance and anti-adhesive capabilities. L. pentosus KF923750 was non-cytotoxic to eukaryotic cells but sensitive to some antibiotics. Compared with rabbits fed a high-cholesterol diet but without L. pentosus KF923750 supplementation, the plasma total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides levels were significantly decreased in L. pentosus KF923750-fed rabbits by 11.54, 16.00 and 18.00%, respectively, with no significant change in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. The histological sections of livers revealed lesions in all the rabbits that were fed a high-cholesterol diet, but these were less pronounced in rabbits ingesting L. pentosus KF923750. This study highlights the potential of lactobacilli, such as L. pentosus KF923750, in the treatment or prevention of hypercholesterolemia.

Abstract
Enterococcus faecalis B3A-B3B produces the bacteriocin B3A-B3B with activity against Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Clostridium perfringens, but apparently not against fungi or Gram-negative bacteria, except for Salmonella Newport. B3A-B3B enterocin has two different nucleotides but similar amino acid composition to the class IIb MR10A-MR10B enterocin. B3A-B3B consists of two peptides of predicted molecular mass of 5176.31 Da (B3A) and 5182.21 Da (B3B). Importantly, B3A-B3B impeded biofilm formation of the foodborne pathogen L. monocytogenes 162 grown on stainless steel. The antimicrobial treatment of stainless steel with nisin (1 or 16 mg ml-1) decreased the cell numbers by about 2 log CFU ml-1, thereby impeding the biofilm formation by L. monocytogenes 162 or its nisin-resistant derivative strain L. monocytogenes 162R. Furthermore, the combination of nisin and B3A-B3B enterocin reduced the MIC required to inhibit this pathogen grown in planktonic or biofilm cultures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biofilm production represents an important virulence and pathogenesis factor for Staphylococcus aureus. The formation of biofilms on medical devices is a major concern in hospital environments, as they can become a constant source of infection. Probiotic bacteria, such as Lactobacillus fermentum and L. plantarum, have been found to inhibit biofilm formation; however little is known about the underlying mechanism. In this study, we tested the activity of supernatants produced by L. fermentum TCUESC01 and L. plantarum TCUESC02, isolated during the fermentation of fine cocoa, against S. aureus CCMB262 biofilm production. We measured inhibition of biofilm formation in vitro and analyzed biofilm structure by confocal and electronic microscopy. Additionally, we quantified the expression of S. aureus genes icaA and icaR involved in the synthesis of the biofilm matrix by real-time PCR. RESULTS Both Lactobacillus supernatants inhibited S. aureus growth. However, only L. fermentum TCUESC01 significantly reduced the thickness of the biofilm, from 14 μm to 2.83 μm (at 18 mg∙mL-1, 90 % of the minimum inhibitory concentration, MIC), 3.12 μm (at 14 mg∙mL-1, 70 % of the MIC), and 5.21 μm (at 10 mg∙mL-1, 50 % of the MIC). Additionally, L. fermentum TCUESC01 supernatant modulated the expression of icaA and icaR. CONCLUSIONS L. fermentum TCUESC01 reduces the formation of S. aureus biofilm under subinhibitory conditions. Inhibition of biofilm production probably depends on modulation of the ica operon.

Abstract
Biofilms are microbial communities characterized by their adhesion to solid surfaces and the production of a matrix of exopolymeric substances, consisting of polysaccharides, proteins, DNA and lipids, which surround the microorganisms lending structural integrity and a unique biochemical profile to the biofilm. Biofilm formation enhances the ability of the producer/s to persist in a given environment. Pathogenic and spoilage bacterial species capable of forming biofilms are a significant problem for the healthcare and food industries, as their biofilm-forming ability protects them from common cleaning processes and allows them to remain in the environment post-sanitation. In the food industry, persistent bacteria colonize the inside of mixing tanks, vats and tubing, compromising food safety and quality. Strategies to overcome bacterial persistence through inhibition of biofilm formation or removal of mature biofilms are therefore necessary. Current biofilm control strategies employed in the food industry (cleaning and disinfection, material selection and surface preconditioning, plasma treatment, ultrasonication, etc.), although effective to a certain point, fall short of biofilm control. Efforts have been explored, mainly with a view to their application in pharmaceutical and healthcare settings, which focus on targeting molecular determinants regulating biofilm formation. Their application to the food industry would greatly aid efforts to eradicate undesirable bacteria from food processing environments and, ultimately, from food products. These approaches, in contrast to bactericidal approaches, exert less selective pressure which in turn would reduce the likelihood of resistance development. A particularly interesting strategy targets quorum sensing systems, which regulate gene expression in response to fluctuations in cell-population density governing essential cellular processes including biofilm formation. This review article discusses the problems associated with bacterial biofilms in the food industry and summarizes the recent strategies explored to inhibit biofilm formation, with special focus on those targeting quorum sensing.

Abstract
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has become a worrisome superbug. This work aimed at studying the effects of two class IIb bacteriocins, enterocins DD28 and DD93 as anti-MRSA agents. Thus, these bacteriocins were purified, from the cultures supernatants of Enterococcus faecalis 28 and 93, using a simplified purification procedure consisting in a cation exchange chromatography and a reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The anti-Staphylococcal activity was shown in vitro by the assessment of the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC), followed by a checkerboard and time-kill kinetics experiments. The data unveiled a clear synergistic effect of enterocins DD28 and DD93 in combination with erythromycin or kanamycin against the clinical MRSA-S1 strain. Besides, these combinations impeded as well the MRSA-S1 clinical strain to setup biofilms on stainless steel and glace devices.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to test the ability of 6 strains of enterococci to adhere on glass surfaces in environment with different content of milk residues and then to evaluate efficacy of 2 commercial sanitizers (alkaline and acidic) used in milk production. Tested enterococci were isolated from milk, dairy products and from rinse water after sanitation milking machine. Suspension of enterococci (8 log CFU.ml-1) was prepared in phosphate buffered saline (PBS), PBS with content 0.1% and 1% of skimmed reconstituted milk. Glass plates were immersed into bacterial suspension for 1 h at 37 °C. The number of enterococci adhered on glass surface in PBS achieved an average value 3.47 log CFU.mm-2, in PBS with 0.1% of milk 2.90 CFU.mm-2, in PBS with 1% of milk 2.63 CFU.mm-2. Differences between the tested files were not statistically significant (p >0.05). In the second part of work the glass plates with adhered enterococci were exposed to the effect of alkaline sanitizer (on basis of NaOH and NaClO), respectively acidic sanitizer (on basis of H3PO4). Sanitation solutions were prepared and tested according to manufacturer recommendations (concentration 0.25%, contact time 20 min, temperature 20 °C). Alkaline sanitation solution was 100% effective against all tested enterococci regardless to content of milk residues in environment. Acidic sanitation solution was 100% effective only against E. faecalisD (isolated from rinse water after sanitation). Average value of reduction of enterococci with acidic sanitation solution, which were on glass plates in environment PBS was 2.84 CFU.mm-2, in PBS with 0.1% of milk was 2.45 CFU.mm-2 and in PBS with 1% of milk was2.16 CFU.mm-2. It can be concluded, that increase of milk residues in environment decrease the adhesion of enterococci on glass surface, but also effectiveness of acidic sanitation solution.
