Abstract
An autoinducer-2 (AI-2) signaling molecule from Bacillus was synthesized, and its mechanism on the biofilm formation and biocontrol ability of B. amyloliquefaciens was verified in vitro and in vivo. The 16S/ITS amplicon sequencing was used to analyze the effect of B. amyloliquefaciens B4 with or without AI-2 on the microflora of pears during storage. The results showed that B. amyloliquefaciens B4 secreted AI-2, which promoted biofilm formation. Additionally, AI-2 at a concentration of 40 μmol/L enhanced the biocontrol ability of B. amyloliquefaciens B4 on postharvest pear and loquat fruits. Finally, amplicon sequencing demonstrated that the addition of AI-2 increased the abundance of B. amyloliquefaciens B4 in fruit by stimulating the growth and biofilm formation of this bacterium.

Synergistic bactericidal effect and mechanism of ultrasound combined with Lauroyl Arginate Ethyl against Salmonella Typhimurium and its application in the preservation of onions. Int J Food Microbiol 2024; 413:110611. [PMID: 38308880 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2024.110611] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2023] [Revised: 01/17/2024] [Accepted: 01/29/2024] [Indexed: 02/05/2024]
Abstract
In the present study, the synergistic bactericidal effect and mechanism of ultrasound (US) combined with Lauroyl Arginate Ethyl (LAE) against Salmonella Typhimurium were investigated. On this basis, the effect of US+LAE treatment on the washing of S. Typhimurium on the surface of onions and on the physical and chemical properties of onion during fresh-cutting and storage were studied. The results showed that treatment with US+LAE could significantly (P < 0.05) reduce the number of S. Typhimurium compared to US and LAE treatments alone, especially the treatment of US+LAE (230 W/cm2, 8 min, 71 μM) reduced S. Typhimurium by 8.82 log CFU/mL. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), flow cytometry (FCM), protein and nucleic acid release and N-phenyl-l-naphthylamine (NPN) assays demonstrated that US+LAE disrupted the integrity and permeability of S. Typhimurium cell membranes. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) assays indicated that US+LAE exacerbated oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation in cell membranes. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) demonstrated that US+LAE treatment caused loss of cellular contents and led to cell crumpling and even lost the original cell morphology. US+LAE treatment caused a significant (P < 0.05) decrease in the number of S. Typhimurium on onions, but there was no significant (P > 0.05) effect on the color, hardness, weight and ascorbic acid content of onions. This study elucidated the synergistic antibacterial mechanism of US+LAE and verified the feasibility of bactericidal effect on the surface of onions, providing a theoretical basis for improving the safety of fresh produce in the food industry and to propose a new way to achieve the desired results.

Front Cell Infect Microbiol 2023; 13:1283789. [PMID: 38053526 PMCID: PMC10694240 DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2023.1283789] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2023] [Accepted: 10/31/2023] [Indexed: 12/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Weaning stress can induce diarrhea, intestinal damage and flora disorder of piglets, leading to slow growth and even death of piglets. Traditional Chinese medicine residue contains a variety of active ingredients and nutrients, and its resource utilization has always been a headache. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the effects of traditional Chinese medicine residues (Xiasangju, composed of prunellae spica, mulberry leaves, and chrysanthemum indici flos) on growth performance, diarrhea, immune function, and intestinal health in weaned piglets. Forty-eight healthy Duroc× Landrace × Yorkshire castrated males weaned aged 21 days with similar body conditions were randomly divided into 6 groups with eight replicates of one piglet. The control group was fed a basal diet, the antibiotic control group was supplemented with 75 mg/kg chlortetracycline, and the residue treatment groups were supplemented with 0.5%, 1.0%, 2.0% and 4.0% Xiasangju residues. The results showed that dietary Xiasangju residues significantly reduced the average daily feed intake, but reduced the diarrhea score (P < 0.05). The 1.0% and 2.0% Xiasangju residues significantly increased the serum IgM content of piglets, and the 0.5%, 1.0%, 2.0% and 4.0% Xiasangju residues significantly increased the serum IgG content, while the 1.0%, 2.0% and 4.0% Xiasangju residues significantly increased the sIgA content of ileal contents (P < 0.05). Dietary Xiasangju residues significantly increased the villus height and the number of villus goblet cells in the jejunum and ileum, and significantly decreased the crypt depth (P<0.05). The relative mRNA expression of IL-10 in the ileum was significantly increased in the 1% and 2% Xiasangju residues supplemented groups (P < 0.05), while IL-1β in the ileum was downregulated (P < 0.05). Xiasangju residues improved the gut tight barrier, as evidenced by the enhanced expression of Occludin and ZO-1 in the jejunum and ileum. The diets with 1% Xiasangju residues significantly increased the relative abundance of Lactobacillus johnsonii, and 2% and 4% Xiasangju residues significantly increased the relative abundance of Weissella jogaeotgali (P < 0.05). Dietary supplementation with 0.5%, 1.0%, 2% and 4% with Xiasangju residues significantly decreased the relative abundance of Escherichia coli and Treponema porcinum (P < 0.05). In summary, dietary supplementation with Xiasangju residues improves intestinal health and gut microbiota in weaned piglets.

A chlorogenic acid-chitosan complex bifunctional coating for improving osteogenesis differentiation and bactericidal properties of zirconia implants. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2023; 230:113484. [PMID: 37540946 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2023.113484] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2023] [Revised: 07/25/2023] [Accepted: 07/28/2023] [Indexed: 08/06/2023]
Abstract
Poor osteogenesis caused by limited bioactivity and peri-implantitis caused by bacterial colonization are the main challenges affecting the use of zirconia-based materials in dental implants. Accordingly, the development of a surface treatment method with an antibacterial effect and that promotes osteogenesis without damage to cells is crucial for yttrium-stabilized tetragonal zirconia (Y-TZP) implants. Herein, we have developed a functional surface modification strategy whereby a poly (ethylene imine)/hyaluronic acid /chitosan-chlorogenic acid (PEI/HA/CGA-CS) conjugate is deposited on a zirconia surface by the layer-by-layer (LBL) technique, enhancing its osteogenic differentiation and antibacterial activities. The results showed that the PEI/HA/CGA-CS coating improved the wettability of the zirconia surface and maintained stable release of CGA. The PEI/HA/CGA-CS functional coating was found to promote early cell adhesion, proliferation, differentiation, and calcification. The results of bacterial adhesion and activity tests showed that the coating effectively inhibits the proliferation and activity of Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A. actinomycetemcomitans) without impairing the biological activity of osteoblasts. In addition, we found that the PEI/HA/CGA-CS coating enhances the osteogenesis of MC3T3-E1 cells by promoting the protein expression of Nephronectin (NPNT) and activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. The above results are of profound significance for the practical application of zirconia-based implants. DATA AVAILABILITY: Data will be made available on request.

Abstract
Salmonella is one of the pathogens that cause many foodborne outbreaks throughout the world, representing an important global public health problem. Salmonella strains with biofilm-forming abilities have been frequently isolated from different food processing plants, especially in poultry industry. Biofilm formation of Salmonella on various surfaces can increase their viability, contributing to their persistence in food processing environments and cross-contamination of food products. In recent years, increasing concerns arise about the antimicrobial resistant and disinfectant tolerant Salmonella, while adaptation of Salmonella in biofilms to disinfectants exacerbate this problem. Facing difficulties to inhibit or remove Salmonella biofilms in food industry, eco-friendly and effective strategies based on chemical, biotechnological and physical methods are in urgent need. This review discusses biofilm formation of Salmonella in food industries, with emphasis on the current available knowledge related to antimicrobial resistance, together with an overview of promising antibiofilm strategies for controlling Salmonella in food production environments.

Study on quality control of Zuojin pill by HPLC fingerprint with quantitative analysis of multi-components by single marker method and antioxidant activity analysis. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2023; 225:115075.

Abstract
Current quality control methods for Zuojin Pill (ZJP) lack comprehensiveness and practicability. This study aimed to develop a comprehensive strategy for the quality evaluation of ZJP and the prediction of potential bioactive components in ZJP. First, an HPLC method with excellent separation of main components was developed and was used to establish the chromatographic fingerprint of ZJP. Similarities were calculated by comparing 28 batches of ZJPs with the reference fingerprint and the resulting similarity values were all greater than 0.976. The 28 samples were classified into different groups according to their origins by Hierarchical Cluster Analysis, Principal component analysis, and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis. Based on the classification, eight quality markers (Q-Markers) affecting the quality of ZJP were discovered. Then, using berberine as an internal standard substance, quantitative analysis of multi-components by single marker method (QAMS) for the determination of eight Q-markers was developed. The results showed that there was no significant difference between QAMS and external standard method (P>0.05). Finally, using an off-line antioxidant system and partial least-squares model (PLS), the fingerprint-efficacy relationship of ZJP was constructed to explore and predict the bioactive components in ZJP. The present study strategy could be also applied to comprehensive quality study of other TCMs.

Abstract
In this study, a novel citral nanoemulsion (CLNE) was prepared by ultrasonic emulsification. The synergistic antibacterial mechanism of ultrasound combined with CLNE against Salmonella Typhimurium and the effect on the physicochemical properties of purple kale were investigated. The results showed that the combined treatment showed obviously inactivate effect of S. Typhimurium. Treatment with 0.3 mg/mL CLNE combined with US (20 kHz, 253 W/cm2) for 8 min reduced S. Typhimurium populations in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) by 9.05 log CFU/mL. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), flow cytometry (FCM), protein and nucleic acid release assays showed that the US combination CLNE disrupt the integrity of S. Typhimurium membranes. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) detection indicated that US+CLNE exacerbated oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation in cell membranes. The morphological changes of cells after different treatments by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) illustrated that the synergistic effect of US+CLNE treatment changed the morphology and internal microstructure of the bacteriophage cells. Application of US+CLNE on purple kale leaves for 6 min significantly (P < 0.05) reduced the number of S. Typhimurium, but no changes in the physicochemical properties of the leaves were detected. This study elucidates the synergistic antibacterial mechanism of ultrasound combined with CLNE and provides a theoretical basis for its application in food sterilization.

Abstract
Salmonella is among the most frequently isolated foodborne pathogens, and biofilm formed by Salmonella poses a potential threat to food safety. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), especially propionate and butyrate, have been demonstrated to exhibit a beneficial effect on promoting intestinal health and regulating the host immune system, but their anti-biofilm property has not been well studied. This study aims to investigate the effects of propionate or butyrate on the biofilm formation and certain virulence traits of Salmonella. We investigated the effect of propionate or butyrate on the biofilm formation of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) SL1344 grown in LB broth or food models (milk or chicken juice) by crystal violet staining methods. Biofilm formation was significantly reduced in LB broth and food models and the reduction was visualized using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Biofilm metabolic activity was attenuated in the presence of propionate or butyrate. Meanwhile, both SCFAs decreased AI-2 quorum sensing based on reporter strain assay. Butyrate, not propionate, could effectively reduce bacterial motility. Bacterial adhesion to and invasion of Caco-2 cells were also significantly inhibited in the presence of both SCFAs. Finally, two SCFAs downregulated virulence genes related to biofilm formation and invasion through real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). These findings demonstrate the potential application of SCFAs in the mitigation of Salmonella biofilm in food systems, but future research mimicking food environments encountered during the food chain is necessitated.
