FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2024; 149:109570. [PMID: 38643956 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2024.109570] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2023] [Revised: 04/12/2024] [Accepted: 04/15/2024] [Indexed: 04/23/2024]
Abstract
The intensive aquaculture model has resulted in a heightened prevalence of diseases among farmed animals. It is imperative to identify healthy and efficacious alternatives to antibiotics for the sustainable progression of aquaculture. In this investigation, a strain of Lactobacillus acidophilus AC was introduced into the cultural water at varying concentrations (105 CFU/mL, 106 CFU/mL, 107 CFU/mL) to nourish zebrafish (Danio rerio). The findings revealed that L. acidophilus AC effectively increased the growth performance of zebrafish, improved the ion exchange capacity of gills, and enhanced hepatic antioxidant and immune-enzyme activities. Furthermore, L. acidophilus AC notably enhanced the intestinal morphology and augmented the activity of digestive enzymes within the intestinal tract. Analysis of intestinal flora revealed that L. acidophilus AC exerted a significant impact on the intestinal flora community, manifested by a reduction in the relative abundance of Burkholderiales, Candidatus_Saccharibacteria_bacterium, and Sutterellaceae, coupled with an increase in the relative abundance of Cetobacterium. Metabolomics analysis demonstrated that L. acidophilus AC significantly affected intestinal metabolism of zebrafish. PG (i-19:0/PGE2) and 12-Hydroxy-13-O-d-glucuronoside-octadec-9Z-enoate were the metabolites with the most significant up- and down-regulation folds, respectively. Finally, L. acidophilus AC increased the resistance of zebrafish to Aeromonas hydrophila. In conclusion, L. acidophilus AC was effective in enhancing the health and immunity of zebrafish. Thus, our findings suggested that L. acidophilus AC had potential applications and offered a reference for its use in aquaculture.

Abstract
To understand the antimicrobial effect of surfaces fabricated with dead probiotics, we prepared surfaces decorated with dead probiotics Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) with varied inactivation methods and explored their inhibitory interactions with Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PAO1). By combining several techniques, i.e., digital holographic microscopy (DHM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), RNA sequencing, and metabolomic analysis, we studied the three-dimensional (3D) swimming behaviors, surface adhesion, biofilm formation, and adaptive responses of PAO1 near such surfaces. The results show that planktonic PAO1 decreases their flick and reverse motions by downregulating the chemotaxis pathway and accelerates with less accumulation near dead LGG surfaces by upregulating the flagellar assembly pathway and decreasing cyclic adenosine monophosphate. Distinct from live siblings, the surfaces decorated with dead LGG show a significant reduction in adhesion strength with PAO1 and inhibit biofilm formation with more downregulated genes in the Pseudomonas quinolone signal and biofilm formation pathway. We demonstrate that the antibacterial ability of such surfaces stems from the gradually released lysate from the dead LGG that is unfavorable to PAO1 in close proximity. The releasing rate and order depend on the cell membrane integrity, which closely relates to the inactivation methods.

Abstract
Enterococci act as symbionts in human gastrointestinal tract. The present study aimed to evaluate the characteristics of fecal enterococci isolated from infants and adults, and to compare them to the known probiotic bacteria, including lactobacilli species and E. faecalis Symbioflor 1. In total, sporadic distribution of virulence genes was detected among the studied enterococci. Furthermore, the frequency of genes encoding for sex pheromones (ccf and cob), collagen adhesion (ace), cell wall adhesion (efaAfs), and gelatinase (gelE) was observed to be significantly higher in those isolates obtained from infants compared to those obtained from adults. Although the ability of biofilm formation was found in all isolates, the strong biofilm formation was observed in enterococci from infants and strong correlation was observed between the capacities to form biofilm and attachment to Caco-2 cells. Cell-free culture supernatant showed some inhibitory effects on indicator strains, which were related to the production of organic acids (against P. aeruginosa and enteropathogenic E. coli) or both organic acids and proteinaceous antimicrobial agents (against L. monocytogenes and E. faecalis). Approximately, 79% and 71% of the isolates showed strong inhibitory effects on P. aeruginosa and L. monocytogenes, respectively. Unlike lactobacilli, enterococcal cell-free supernatants had no toxicity on intestinal cells. In conclusion, this study shows that some enterococcal isolates obtained from fecal microbiota have characteristics, which are comparable with the known probiotic bacteria. Therefore, these isolates should be considered to find probiotic candidate. The proteinaceous identity of antimicrobial substances derived from these isolates highlighted the probable contribution of bacteriocins into this issue.

Abstract
Traditional fermented foods are a significant source of starter and/or non-starter lactic acid bacteria (nsLAB). Moreover, these microorganisms are also known for their role as probiotics. The potential of nsLAB is huge; however, there are still challenges to be overcome with respect to characterization and application. In the present review, the most important steps that autochthonous lactic acid bacteria isolated from fermented foods need to overcome, to qualify as novel starter cultures, or as probiotics, in food technology and biotechnology, are considered. These different characterization steps include precise identification, detection of health-promoting properties, and safety evaluation. Each of these features is strain specific and needs to be accurately determined. This review highlights the advantages and disadvantages of nsLAB, isolated from traditional fermented foods, discussing safety aspects and sensory impact.

Abstract
The surfactants used for emulsion is one of the best techniques for microencapsulation of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) since it is economical. The biosurfactants have many advantages such as lower toxicity, higher biodegradability. In this study, microcapsules were prepared via spray drying using Bifidobacterium adolescentis species cultured in soy milk extract with biosurfactant prepared using Alcaligenes piechaudii CC-ESB2 to improve their powder properties. The soy milk was used to increase the health benefits instead of the milk. The optimum bacterial strain viability, water activity, and moisture content of the microcapsules were achieved at a spray dryer inlet/outlet temperature of 120/60°C. The composition of the carrier affects the particle size of the microcapsules. Using 90% maltodextrin (MD), 5% isomalto-oligosaccharide syrup (IMOS) and 5% biosurfactant as a carrier increased the viability of the LAB. Scanning electron microscope observations showed that the LAB microcapsules were able to effectively retain their completeness. Furthermore, microcapsules added with a biosurfactant prepared using A. piechaudii CC-ESB2 displayed significantly better flow properties than those without the surfactant and biosurfactant, which indicates that the biosurfactant assists in enhancing the powder properties of the microcapsules. It also has sufficient biological activity as a LAB product because the probiotics exceed 106 CFU/mL The spray-dried abandoned supernatant with biosurfactant exhibited superior bacteriostasis, which suggests that the supernatant of B. adolescentis during microencapsulation not only retains its bacteriostatic effect under high spray drying temperatures, but also provides additional antibacterial effects for the microcapsules.

Molecular Identification and Selection of Probiotic Strains Able to Reduce the Serum TMAO Level in Mice Challenged with Choline. Foods 2021; 10:foods10122931. [PMID: 34945482 PMCID: PMC8700464 DOI: 10.3390/foods10122931] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2021] [Revised: 11/19/2021] [Accepted: 11/22/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Trimethylamine oxide (TMAO) originates from trimethylamine (TMA), which is oxidized in the liver by hepatic flavin-containing monooxygenases (FMO3). TMA is produced by its dietary precursors such as choline, carnitine, and phosphatidylcholine by gut microbiota. TMAO attracts attention, identified as a novel and independent risk factor for promoting obesity, atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease (CVD), chronic kidney disease (CKD), insulin tolerance, and colon cancer. Probiotics have been considered as live microorganisms, providing benefits to their host when they are given in sufficient quantities and administered continuously. The objective of this study is to suggest a method to select potential probiotic strains to reduce the serum concentration of TMAO in mice fed with choline. In this work, we chose three lactobacilli with strong adherence capability, and fed multistrain formula (MF) to the mice challenged with choline. On days 7, 14, and day 28, it was found that the MF-containing L. amylovorus LAM1345, Lpb. plantarum LP1145, and Lim. fermentum LF33 showed a significant reduction in serum TMAO and TMA levels. For the single strains, LP1145 reduced TMAO on days 14 and 28, and strain LAM1345 reduced TMAO significantly on days 7 and day 14. For strain LF1143 from strain LF33, it showed no significant effect on TMAO and TMA. Thus, MF showed the best effect, which may be due to the additive and synergetic effect and the contribution of strain LP1145 and LAM1345. Finally, for the LAM1345 and LP1145 strains, we used molecular identification and typing methods to assure that these two strains are unique strains. The methods used for LAM 1345 were leader peptidase A (lepA) gene analysis and phylogenetic analysis, while for strain LP 1145and other strains of Lpb. plantarum subsp. plantarum sequences were compared using the whole-genome multilocus sequence typing (wgMLST) method.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance in bacterial pathogens associated with bovine mastitis and human foodborne illnesses from contaminated food and water have an impact on animal and human health. Phenolic compounds have antimicrobial properties and some specialty sorghum grains are high in phenolic compounds, and the grain extract may have the potential as a natural antimicrobial alternative. The study’s objective was to determine antimicrobial effects of sorghum phenolic extract on bacterial pathogens that cause bovine mastitis and human foodborne illnesses. Bacterial pathogens tested included Escherichia coli, Salmonella Typhimurium, Campylobacter jejuni, Campylobacter coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella oxytoca, Staphylococcus aureus, and Enterococcus faecalis. Antibacterial activities of sorghum phenolic extracts were determined by agar-well diffusion assay. Sorghum phenolic extract was added to the wells in concentrations of 0, 100, 200, 500, 1000, or 4000 µg/mL. The control wells did not receive phenolic extract. Plates were incubated for 18–24 h, and the diameter of each zone of inhibition was measured. The results indicated that sorghum phenolic extract had inhibitory effects on Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Campylobacter jejuni, and Campylobacter coli.

Abstract
Nowadays, consumers have become increasingly attentive to human health and the use of more natural products. Consequently, the demand for natural preservatives in the food industry is more frequent. This has led to intense research to discover new antimicrobial compounds of natural origin that could effectively fight foodborne pathogens. This research aims to safeguard the health of consumers and, above all, to avoid potentially harmful chemical compounds. Lactobacillus is a bacterial genus belonging to the Lactic Acid Bacteria and many strains are defined GRAS, generally recognized as safe. These strains are able to produce substances with antibacterial activity against food spoilage bacteria and contaminating pathogens: the bacteriocins. The aim of this review was to focus on this genus and its capability to produce antibacterial peptides. The review collected all the information from the last few years about bacteriocins produced by Lactobacillus strains, isolated from clinical or food samples, with remarkable antimicrobial activities useful for being exploited in the food field. In addition, the advantages and disadvantages of their use and the possible ways of improvement for industrial applications were described.

Abstract
PURPOSE Diarrhea is one of the five leading causes of mortality in children under the age of five, especially in developing countries. Nowadays, by increasing the resistance of pathogens to antibiotics, employment of probiotics as novel therapeutic method, could be considered as a necessity.The aim of this study was to examine the features and antagonistic action of Lactobacillus strains, against the growth and adhesion of Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) and Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) strains creating diarrhea in children. Then, we introduced new strains of Lactobacillus as probiotic candidates, to prevent diarrheal infections in children. METHODS Stool samples were collected from healthy individuals, and Lactobacillus strains were isolated. The antimicrobial effect of the isolates against ETEC and EAEC strains investigated by agar well diffusion method and their resistance to acidic and bile conditions. The potency of selected isolates in adhesion to HT-29 epithelial cells and their ability to inhibit the adhesion of ETEC and EAEC strains to this cell were measured. At the end, identification of the optimally efficient Lactobacillus isolates was performed by 16S rDNA sequencing and making Phylogenetic tree using MEGA (version 4.0) software. RESULTS In total, 157 isolates suspected to Lactobacillus were isolated from 115 stool samples. In antimicrobial activity test, ETEC and EAEC growth was inhibited by 132 and 84 isolates respectively, while 17 isolates showed resistance to Bile. Of 17 Bile resistant Lactobacillus isolates, 15 isolates were resistant to pH: 3.2. Further, among 15 isolates, only two isolates, were resistant to pH: 2.5. In the adhesion assay, five isolates had more adhesion tendency to HT-29 epithelial cells than L. rhamnosus GG, which was considered as a positive control. Investigation of isolates that inhibit adhesion of ETEC and EAEC strains to HT-29 cells showed that four isolates were able to inhibit ETEC adhesion. However, only one out of four isolates was relatively able to have an impact on EAEC adhesion. CONCLUSION In conclusion, three species of Lactobacillus including L. paracasei (two strain), L. fermentum (two strain) and L. plantarum showed good probiotic properties compared to other isolates that were identified by sequencing. In this study, strain L. fermentum 61.1 had the highest adhesion ability to HT-29 cells and strain L. paracasei 47.2 had the highest potency to inhibit ETEC adhesion to HT-29 cells. These isolates have good probiotic properties and are likely to be effective in preventing or treating diarrheal infections, especially in children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) isolated from goat milk have been known to have various medicinal properties, therefore they are considered as a source of potential probiotics. This research was aimed at evaluating and identifying the LAB isolated from spontaneously fermented goat milk as potential probiotics. MATERIALS AND METHODS The fresh goat milk fermented for 4 days was serially diluted, plated on de Man Rogosa and Sharpe (MRS) agar supplemented with 1% CaCO3 as selective medium, then purified accordingly. The isolated LAB were screened for their potential to inhibit enteric pathogen bacteria using well diffusion method. Their capabilities to withstand the bile salt and acid environment were also evaluated. The production of organic acids was also assessed. The potential probiotics were identified molecularly using 16S rRNA. RESULTS The study confirmed that LAB isolated from spontaneous fermentation of goat milk was Lactobacillus plantarum based on 16S rRNA gene marker. This bacterium showed antimicrobial activity against indicator bacteria, ability to live after exposure in bile salt solution and resistance to low acidic environment. The organic acids produced by this bacterium were lactic, acetic, propionic and butyric acids. CONCLUSION This study concluded that Lactobacillus plantarum YN.1.3 can be further investigated as potential probiotic as it showed antimicrobial activity, withstood the acidic environment and bile salt solution, as well as produced organic acids.

Abstract
Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis is one of the most important starter bacteria used in dairy technology and it is of great economic importance because of its use in the production of dairy products, including cheese, butter, cream, and fermented milks. Numerous studies have evaluated the biochemical and probiotic properties of lactococci; however, limited studies on the probiotic characteristics of lactococci were conducted using strains originating from raw milk and dairy products. Characterizing the probiotic properties of strains isolated from raw milk and fermented milk products is important in terms of selecting starter culture strains for the production of functional dairy products. In this study, biochemical properties (including antibiotic sensitivity, lipolytic activity, amino acid decarboxylation, antioxidant activity) and probiotic properties (including antimicrobial activity, growth in the presence of bile salts, bile salts deconjugation, and hydrophobicity) of 14 Lactococcus lactis strains isolated from raw milk and kefir grains were investigated. Strains originating from kefir grains had better characteristics in terms of antimicrobial activity and bile salt deconjugation, whereas strains from raw milk had better hydrophobicity and antioxidant activity characteristics. None of the strains were able to grow in the presence of bile salt and did not show amino acid decarboxylation or lipolytic activities. Biochemical and probiotic properties of L. lactis strains varied depending on the strain and some of these strains could be used as functional cultures depending on their properties. However, these strains did not possess all of the properties required to meet the definition of a probiotic.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the antibacterial effect of the crude starter "kpètè-kpètè" and lactic acid bacteria used during the production of "tchoukoutou." To achieve this, a total of 11 lactic acid bacteria and 40 starter samples were collected from four communes. The samples were tested on 29 gram + and - strains by disk diffusion method. The minimum inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations of starter and lactic acid bacteria were determined by conventional methods. Organic acids, sugar, and volatile compounds were determined using the HPLC method. The "kpètè-kpètè" displays a high antibacterial activity against the tested strains. The most sensitive strain was S. epidermidis (12.5 mm) whereas the resistance strain was Proteus mirabilis (8 mm). All the tested ferment has not any inhibitory effect on Enterococcus faecalis. The lactic acid bacteria isolates of Parakou showed the highest (17.48 mm) antibacterial activity whereas the smallest diameter was obtained with the ferment collected from Boukoumbé (9.80 mm). The starters' chemical screening revealed the presence of tannins, anthocyanin flavonoids, triterpenes, steroids, reducing compounds, and mucilage O-glycosides. These compounds are probably the source of recorded inhibition effect. The lactic acid bacteria of the "kpètè-kpètè" could be used to develop a food ingredient with probiotic property.

Abstract
During the last few years, a large number of new bacteriocins produced by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been identified and characterized. LAB-bacteriocins comprise a heterogeneous group of physicochemically diverse ribosomally-synthesized peptides or proteins showing a narrow or broad antimicrobial activity spectrum against Gram-positive bacteria. Bacteriocins are classified into separate groups such as the lantibiotics (Class I); the small (<10 kDa) heat-stable postranslationally unmodified non-lantibiotics (Class II), further subdivided in the pediocin-like and anti Listeria bacteriocins (subclass IIa), the two-peptide bacteriocins (subclass IIb), and the sec-dependent bacteriocins (subclass IIc); and the large (>30 kDa) heat-labile non-lantibiotics (Class III). Most bacteriocins characterized to date belong to Class II and are synthesized as precursor peptides (preprobacteriocins) containing an N-terminal double-glycine leader peptide, which is cleaved off concomitantly with externalization of biologically active bacteriocins by a dedicated ABC-transporter and its accessory protein. However, the recently identified sec-dependent bacteriocins contain an N-terminal signal peptide that directs bacteriocin secretion through the general secretory pathway (GSP). Most LAB-bacteriocins act on sensitive cells by destabilization and permeabilization of the cytoplasmic membrane through the formation of transitory poration complexes or ionic channels that cause the reduction or dissipation of the proton motive force (PMF). Bacteriocin producing LAB strains protect themselves against the toxicity of their own bacteriocins by the expression of a specific immunity protein which is generally encoded in the bacteriocin operon. Bacteriocin production in LAB is frequently regulated by a three-component signal transduction system consisting of an induction factor (IF), and histidine protein kinase (HPK) and a response regulator (RR). This paper presents an updated review on the general knowledge about physicochemical properties, molecular mode of action, biosynthesis, regulation and genetics of LAB-bacteriocins.

Abstract
Background: Among the enteric pathogens, diarrheagenic Escherichia coli are important causes of diarrhea in children in both developing and industrialized countries. Some Lactobacillus species are commonly used as probiotics, with effects especially against acute diarrhea in childhood. Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore antimicrobial activity of Lactobacillus strains isolated from fecal flora of healthy breast-fed infants against five diarrheagenic E. coli pathotypes such as enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC), enterohaemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC), enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) and enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC). Materials and Methods: Fecal samples were collected from seven healthy breast-fed infants between 1 to 18 months of age in Tehran city, Iran. Identification of Lactobacillus isolates was performed by biochemical and 16S rRNA gene sequencing methods. An agar well diffusion assay was used for detection of antimicrobial activity of Lactobacillus isolates against five diarrheagenic E. coli pathotypes. Results: A total of 20 Lactobacillus isolates were identified from stool samples. Lactobacillus fermentum was the most frequently isolated strain, followed by L. plantarum and L. rhamnosus. Seven Lactobacillus strains including L. fermentum (four isolates), L. paracasei (one isolate), L. plantarum (one isolate) and L. rhamnosus (one isolate) had a mild inhibitory activity against diarrheagenic E. coli. The mechanism of inhibitory activity of Lactobacillus strains appeared to be due to the production of organic acids or hydrogen peroxide. Conclusions: Our findings show that Lactobacillus strains with human origin had a mild inhibitory activity against the diarrheagenic E. coli, and these strains may be useful as probiotic candidates in prevention of intestinal infections caused by diarrheagenic E. coli.

Abstract
Lactobacilli are normal microflora of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and are a heterogeneous group of lactic acid bacteria (LAB). Lactobacillus strains with Probiotic activity may have health Benefits for human. This study investigates the probiotic potential of Lactobacillus strains obtained from the feces of healthy infants and also explores antibacterial activity of Lactobacillus strains with probiotic potential against enteropathogenic bacteria. Fecal samples were collected from 95 healthy infants younger than 18 months. Two hundred and ninety Lactobacillus strains were isolated and assessed for probiotic potential properties including ability to survive in gastrointestinal conditions (pH 2.0, 0.3% oxgall), adherence to HT-29 cells and antibiotic resistance. Six strains including Lactobacillus fermentum (4 strains), Lactobacillus paracasei and Lactobacillus plantarum showed good probiotic potential and inhibited the growth of enteropathogenic bacteria including ETEC H10407, Shigella flexneri ATCC 12022, Shigella sonnei ATCC 9290, Salmonella enteritidis H7 and Yersinia enterocolitica ATCC 23715. These Lactobacillus strains with probiotic potential may be useful for prevention or treatment of diarrhea, but further in vitro and in vivo studies on these strains are still required.

Abstract
Imbalance in Th1/Th2 immune pathways and cellular antioxidant systems with progressive aging are among the leading causes of increased risk of morbidity and mortality in elderly. Although probiotics have been considered to boost immune system, there is a lack of comprehensive analysis of probiotic effects on aging physiology. The present study aimed at determining anti-immunosenescence potential of milk fermented with probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus (LR) in 16 months old mice by concurrent analysis of immunosenescence markers associated with Th1/Th2 profile of splenocytes, inflamm-aging in plasma, neutrophil functions and antibody response in intestine along with analysis of antioxidant enzymes in liver and red blood cells (RBCs) after feeding trials of 1 and 2 months, respectively. An enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (ATCC 14948)-based infection model in aging mice was also designed to validate protective attributes of LR. Splenocytes registered increased IFN-γ and decreased IL-4 and IL-10 production in LR-fed animals. Neutrophil respiratory burst enzymes and phagocytosis increased significantly while no aggravation in plasma levels of MCP-1 and TNF-α was observed. Further, owing to increased Th1 response, antibodies registered a decrease in IgG1/IgG2a ratio and IgE levels in LR groups. No significant variations were observed in secretory IgA and IgA + cells in the intestine. Antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase) in LR-fed groups recorded increased activities which were more pronounced in the liver than in RBCs. LR supplementation significantly reduced E. coli translocation to organs (intestine, liver, spleen, peritoneal fluid) by enhancing E. coli-specific antibodies (IgA and IgG1) and inflammatory proteins. In conclusion, LR supplementation alleviated immunosenescence-associated Th1/Th2 imbalance, improved antioxidant capacity, and enhanced resistance of aged mice to E. coli infection thereby signifying its potential in augmenting healthy aging.

Abstract
Background. Enteric fever is a global health problem, and rapidly developing resistance to various drugs makes the situation more alarming. The potential use of Lactobacillus to control typhoid fever represents a promising approach, as it may exert protective actions through various mechanisms. Methods. In this study, the probiotic potential and antagonistic activities of 32 Lactobacillus isolates against Salmonella typhi were evaluated. The antimicrobial activity of cell free supernatants of Lactobacillus isolates, interference of Lactobacillus isolates with the Salmonella adherence and invasion, cytoprotective effect of Lactobacillus isolates, and possibility of concurrent use of tested Lactobacillus isolates and antibiotics were evaluated by testing their susceptibilities to antimicrobial agents, and their oxygen tolerance was also examined. Results. The results revealed that twelve Lactobacillus isolates could protect against Salmonella typhi infection through interference with both its growth and its virulence properties, such as adherence, invasion, and cytotoxicity. These Lactobacillus isolates exhibited MIC values for ciprofloxacin higher than those of Salmonella typhi and oxygen tolerance and were identified as Lactobacillus plantarum. Conclusion. The tested Lactobacillus plantarum isolates can be introduced as potential novel candidates that have to be subjected for in vivo and application studies for treatment and control of typhoid fever.

Abstract
A total of 91 lactobacilli were screened for antimicrobial activity against Shigella sonnei. Agar-well assay showed that 16 lactobacilli displayed strong antibacterial activity against S. sonnei. The nature of these antimicrobial agents were investigated and shown to be dependent on their production of organic acids. Adhesion tests showed that 6 lactobacilli demonstrated good adherence to HT-29 cells, of these Lactobacillus johnsonii F0421 were selected for acid and bile salt tolerance properties. We further research on L. johnsonii F0421 inhibition of S. sonnei adhesion to HT-29 cells. The result showed that L. johnsonii F0421 exhibited significant inhibitory activity and excluded, competed and displaced adhered S. sonnei by 48%, 38% and 33%, respectively. In order to elucidate the inhibitory functions of macromolecules involved in L. johnsonii F0421, the cells were treated with 5 M LiCl, 0.05 M sodium metaperiodate and heating and assayed for inhibition activity. The results suggested a role of S-layer proteins on L. johnsonii F0421 cells in inhibition of the adhesion process, but carbohydrates do not seem to be involved. SDS-PAGE analysis confirmed the presence of S-layer proteins with dominant bands of approximately 40 kDa. In addition, 100 μg/well of S-layer proteins from L. johnsonii F0421 cells were effective in inhibiting adhesion of S. sonnei to HT-29 cells. These findings suggest that L. johnsonii F0421 possesses the capacity for inhibition of S. sonnei activity as well as probiotic properties, which could serve as a potential novel and effective probiotic strain for use in the food industry.

Abstract
Multispecies probiotics have been reported to be more effective than monostrain probiotics in health promoting for the host. In this study, 12 lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains were selected based on the level of induction of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. Their adherence to Caco-2 cells and inhibitory effects on Salmonella invasion of Caco-2 cells were compared. Strains with different probiotic properties were then combined and BALB/c mice were fed with LAB strains for 63 days; then the mice were challenged with Salmonella on day 64. For Salmonella-unchallenged mice that received a multistrain combination of LAB strains that have greater TNF-α production in macrophages, greater adherence and inhibit Salmonella invasion of Caco-2 cells to a greater extent, their peritoneal macrophages had greater phagocytic activity. For Salmonella-challenged mice, a significant reduction of Salmonella cells in the livers and spleens of the mice was observed 8 days post challenge. The addition of 12% skim milk powder together with LAB strain combinations significantly enhanced the reduction of Salmonella cells in the mice livers and spleens. In conclusion, we have shown that LAB strain combinations with particular probiotic properties when fed to mice can inhibit Salmonella invasion of the liver and spleen.

Abstract
Four lactobacilli strains (Lactobacillus paracasei subp. paracasei M5-L, Lactobacillus rhamnosus J10-L, Lactobacillus casei Q8-L and L. rhamnosus GG (LGG), were systematically assessed for the production of antimicrobial substances active towards Shigella sonnei, Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium. Agar-well assay showed that the four lactobacilli strains displayed strong antibacterial activity towards S. sonnei. The nature of antimicrobial substances was also investigated and shown to be dependent on the production of organic acids, in particular the lactic acid. Time-kill assay showed that the viability of the S. sonnei was decreased by 2.7-3.6logCFU/ml after contact with CFCS (cell-free culture supernatants) of four lactobacilli for 2h, which confirmed the result of the agar-well assay. Further analysis of the organic acid composition in the CFCS revealed that the content of lactic acid range from 227 to 293mM. In addition, the aggregations properties, adherence properties and tolerance to simulated gastrointestinal conditions were also investigated in vitro tests. The result suggested that the M5-L, J10-L and Q8-L strains possess desirable antimicrobial activity towards S. sonnei and probiotic properties as LGG and could be potentially used as novel probiotic strains in the food industry.

Abstract
In this study, seven lactobacilli with a high degree of antagonistic activity against three pathogens and good adherence to HT-29 cells were selected. The ability of these seven lactobacilli to inhibit adhesion of Shigella sonnei to intestinal mucosa was studied on cultured HT-29 cells. Lactobacilli were added simultaneously with, before or after S. sonnei to test for their effectiveness in exclusion, competition and displacement assays, respectively. Lactobacillus paracasei subp. paracasei M5-L, Lactobacillus rhamnosus J10-L and Lactobacillus casei Q8-L all exhibited significant inhibitory activity. In order to elucidate the inhibitory functions of S-layer proteins, the S-layer proteins were removed with 5 M LiCl from the M5-L, J10-L and Q8-L strains. Under such conditions, inhibition activity was decreased in all three strains, as revealed in exclusion, competition and displacement assays. SDS-PAGE analysis confirmed the presence of S-layer proteins with dominant bands of approximately 45 kDa. Further analysis of S-layer proteins revealed that the hydrophobic amino acids accounted for 40.5%, 41.5% and 43.8% of the total amino acid for the M5-L, J10-L and Q8-L strains, respectively. These findings suggest that the M5-L, J10-L and Q8-L strains possess the ability to inhibit S. sonnei adherence to HT-29 cells, and S-layer proteins are involved in this adhesion inhibition.

Abstract
AIMS To screen from pickled vegetables the potential probiotic lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains with antagonistic activity against Salmonella invasion in host. METHODS AND RESULTS Probiotic properties including acid and bile tolerance as well as inhibition on pathogenic bacteria were used for screening of LAB strains from pickled vegetables. Two strains, i.e Pediococcus pentosaceus MP12 and Lactobacillus plantarum LAP6, were selected and further assayed for their activities against Salmonella invasion in mouse liver and spleen. For these two LAB strains, strain LAP6 was able to adhere to the mouse intestinal epithelium cells. CONCLUSIONS In screening of the probiotic strains able to inhibit the Salmonella invasion in host, factors other than the adherence to host intestinal epithelium may contribute some roles. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Probiotic LAB strains with activity against Salmonella invasion in host could be isolated from vegetable origins. These strains may be used for vegetable processing.

Abstract
In this study, we isolated two lactobacillus strains, i.e., strain LAP5 and LF33, from swine and poultry, respectively, and showed that both strains were acid as well as bile tolerant and were able to adhere to the cultured human intestinal cell lines, such as Int-407 and Caco-2 cells, and to the intestinal epithelium cells isolated from swine, poultry and mouse (BALB/c). Both of these LAB strains were shown to inhibit the growth of Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus. When these two LAB strains were evaluated for their antagonistic activity against Salmonella (S. typhimurium) invasion to cultured human intestinal cell line Int-407 and to mouse (BALB/c) liver and spleen, these two LAB strains were found to have significant antagonistic effect.

Abstract
The strain Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei BGBUK2-16. which was isolated from traditionally homemade white-pickled cheese, produces bacteriocin 217 (Bac217; approximately 7 kDa). The onset of Bac217 biosynthesis was observed in the logarithmic phase of growth, and the production plateau was reached after 9 or 12 h of incubation at 37 and 30 degrees C, respectively, when culture entered the early stationary phase. Biochemical characterization showed that Bac217 retained antimicrobial activity within the range of pH 3 to 12 or after treatment at 100 degrees C for 15 min. Bac217 antimicrobial activity also remained unchanged after storage at 4 degrees C for 6 months or -20 degrees C for up to 12 months. However, Bac217 activity was completely lost after treatment with different proteolytic enzymes. BGBUK2-16 contains only one plasmid about 80 kb in size. Plasmid curing indicated that genes coding for Bac217 synthesis and immunity seem to be located on this plasmid. Bac217 exhibited antimicrobial activity against some pathogenic bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus. Interestingly, Bac217 showed activity against Salmonella sp. and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC27853. The inhibitory effect of BGBUK2-16 on the growth of S. aureus in mixed culture was observed. S. aureus treatment with Bac217 led to a considerable decrease (CFU/ml) within a short period of time. The mode of Bac217 action on S. aureus was identified as bactericidal. It should be noted that the strain BGBUK2-16 was shown to be resistant to bacteriocin nisin, which is otherwise widely used as a food additive for fermented dairy products.

Abstract
Immobilization of living cells of lactic acid bacteria could be an alternative or complementary method of immobilizing organic acids and bacteriocins and inhibit undesirable bacteria in foods. This study evaluated the inhibition potential of immobilized Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis ATCC 11454 on selected bacteria by a modified method of the agar spot test. L. lactis was immobilized in calcium alginate (1 to 2%)-whey protein concentrate (0 and 1%) beads. The antimicrobial potential of immobilized L. lactis was evaluated in microbiological media against pathogenic bacteria (Escherichia coli, Salmonella, and Staphylococcus aureus) or Pseudomonas putida, a natural meat contaminant, and against seven gram-positive bacteria used as indicator strains. Results obtained in this study indicated that immobilized L. lactis inhibited the growth of S. aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Enterococcus faecium, Lactobacillus curvatus, Lactobacillus sakei, Kocuria varians, and Pediococcus acidilactici. Only 4 h of incubation at 35 degrees C resulted in a clear inhibition zone around the beads that increased with time. With the addition of 10 mM of a chelating agent (EDTA) to the media, results showed growth inhibition of E. coli; however, P. putida and Salmonella Typhi were unaffected by this treatment. These results indicate that immobilized lactic acid bacteria strains can be successfully used to produce nisin and inhibit bacterial growth in semisolid synthetic media.

Abstract
A bacteriocin-producing Lactobacillus gasseri strain, KT7, was isolated from infant faeces. The supernatant fluid showed inhibitory activity not only against some lactic acid bacteria but also, against some pathogenic and food-spoilage species, including Clostridium, Listeria and Enterococcus. An antimicrobial peptide designated gassericin KT7 was isolated from Lactobacillus gasseri KT7. It was purified to homogeneity by a single four-step procedure: a crude supernatant fluid obtained from early stationary-phase culture in MRS medium was subjected to ammonium sulphate fractionation, CM-Sephadex cation-exchange chromatography, Phenyl-Sepharose hydrophobic chromatography and reverse-phase HPLC chromatography. Gassericin KT7 was sensitive to proteolytic enzymes, resistant to heat, active over a wide range of pH, and migrated as a 4.5-5.0 kDa peptide on SDS-PAGE. The bacteriocin was produced constitutively during exponential growth. It was bactericidal to sensitive cells and the bactericidal effect was not produced by cell lysis. The amino acid composition of the bacteriocin was determined and no modified amino acid was found among the residues identified.

Abstract
Forty-two lactic acid bacteria (LAB) of the genera Lactobacillus (32), Leuconostoc (6), Pediococcus (3) and Lactococcus (1), isolated from Rioja red wines, were tested for antimicrobial activity. All these strains, as well as 18 Leuconostoc oenos and 19 yeast strains were used as indicators. Only nine strains showed antimicrobial activity, and all were of the species Lactobacillus plantarum, which constitutes the predominant microflora in Rioja red wines after alcoholic fermentation. Lact. plantarum strain J-51 showed the widest range of action, inhibiting the growth of 31 strains of the four studied LAB genera. Lact. plantarum J-51 antimicrobial activity was lost after treatment with proteases, suggesting a proteinaceous nature for this activity. It was found to be stable between pH 3 and 9 and under strong heating conditions (100 degrees C for 60 min). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of Lact. plantarum J-51 genome revealed the presence of the plnA gene that encodes the plantaricin precursor PlnA. A 366-bp fragment was sequenced and showed 95% identity with pln locus of Lact. plantarum C-11. The deduced precursor peptide sequence showed one mutation (Gly7 to Ser7) at the double glycine leader peptide, and the three putative 26-, 23- and 22-residue active peptides remain identical to those of Lact. plantarum C-11. Therefore, antimicrobial peptides constitute a potent adaptation advantage for those strains that dominate in a medium such as wine, and can play an important role in the ecology of wine microflora.

Abstract
Lactobacillus amylovorus LMG P-13139, isolated from corn steep liquor, produces two bactericidal peptides with respective estimated molecular masses of 4.5 and 6.0 kDa upon denaturing sodium dodecyl sulfatepolyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The antimicrobial activity detected in the fermentation supernatant fraction of L. amylovorus LMG P-13139 was heat stable (20 min, 121 degrees C), displayed a narrow inhibitory spectrum, and was sensitive to proteinase K, trypsin, and alpha-chymotrypsin but insensitive to alpha-amylase, lysozyme, catalase, and lipase. The 4.5-kDa bacteriocin was purified and characterized and designated lactobin A. Lactobin A was isolated as a floating pellicle from culture supernatant brought to 35% saturation with ammonium sulfate. Upon this ammonium sulfate treatment, crude lactobin A was incorporated, together with Tween 80 as a major contaminant, in high-molecular-mass complexes sized at approximately 670 kDa by gel filtration chromatography. Contaminating fatty acids were removed from these micelles by a simple one-step methanol-chloroform extraction without loss of activity. Both inhibitory peptides were separated in an isocratic isopropanol gradient on a PepRPC 5/5 reversed-phase column, and both peptides retained activity towards Lactobacillus helveticus ATCC 15009 upon separation. Lactobin A has a molecular mass determined by electrospray mass spectrometry of 4,879 +/- 0.69 Da. Its peptide chain contains 50 unmodified amino acids, of which 26% are glycine residues and 40% are hydrophobic residues (A, V, L, I, and P). It displays the highest structural homology (42% identity and 28% similarity) with the lafX gene product, encoded by the second open reading frame of the lactacin F operon. These data strongly indicate that lactobin A belongs to the class IIb bacteriocins according to the classification of Klaenhammer.

Abstract
Lactobacillus plantarum UG1 isolated from dry sausage produced an antimicrobial substance that inhibited other strains of the genera Lactobacillus and Lactococcus, and some foodborne pathogens including Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus cereus, Clostridium perfringens and Clostridium sporogenes. This antibacterial substance was inactivated by proteolytic enzymes and showed a bactericidal mode of action. Consequently, it was characterized as a bacteriocin, and was designated plantaricin UG1. This bacteriocin was stable in the pH range 4.5 to 7.0, partially inactivated by amylolytic enzymes and relatively thermostable. It was not affected by organic or lipolytic enzymes. Production of plantaricin UG1 was pH- and temperature-dependant and maximum yields were obtained in MRS broth cultures maintained at initial pH 6.5, and incubated at 25 degrees C to 30 degrees C, in the exponential to the early stationary growth phase of the producer organism. Ultrafiltration studies indicated that plantaricin UG1 has a molecular weight between 3 and 10 KDa. Curing experiments with L. plantarum UG1 resulted in the appearance of variants that lost bacteriocin production ability but were still immune to the bacteriocin. Plantaricin UG1 production appeared to be chromosomal encoded. Sensitive and insensitive Gram-positive bacteria adsorbed plantaricin UG1 irrespective of their susceptibility to it. In contrast, Gram-negative bacteria did not adsorb plantaricin UG1. The bactericidal action of plantaricin UG1 did not depend on the physiological state of the indicator culture and did not cause cell lysis. The resistance of two indicator strains to plantaricin UG1 has been studied.

Abstract
Brevicin 286 was produced by Lactobacillus brevis VB286 isolated from vacuum-packaged meat and was partially purified by ammonium sulphate precipitation, gel filtration and dialysis. The bacteriocin was susceptible to proteolytic enzymes, stable to heating at 100 degrees C particularly under acidic against Listeria sp. Production of brevicin 286 was optimal during exponential growth at 20 degrees C. Higher rates of cell growth occurred between 30 and 37 degrees C but with little or no expression of brevicin 286. A food-grade formulation consisting of 4% yeast extract and 1% glucose was found to be adequate for optimal brevicin 286 production and the bacteriocin-containing culture supernate was successfully spray dried with full recovery of antibacterial activity in the resultant powder.
