Molecular characterization, virulence and antimicrobial and biocidal susceptibility of selected bacteria isolated from the cloaca of nestling ospreys (Pandion haliaetus) from Mono Lake, California, USA. PLoS One 2024; 19:e0311306.

Abstract
In the present study, the presence of the Enterobacterales, Staphylococcus spp., Mammaliicoccus spp., and Enterococcus spp. in cloacal samples of nestling ospreys (Pandion haliaetus), a fish-eating specialist, from Mono Lake, California, USA was examined by a multiphasic approach, including antimicrobial and biocide susceptibility testing, genotyping, and whole genome sequencing of selected isolates. The most commonly detected species was Escherichia coli, followed by Mammaliicoccus sciuri, Staphylococcus delphini, Enterococcus faecalis, Enterococcus faecium, Hafnia alvei, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Citrobacter braakii and single isolates of Edwardsiella tarda, Edwardsiella albertii, Klebsiella aerogenes, Plesiomonas shigelloides and Staphylococcus pseudintermedius. Multi-drug resistance (MDR) was observed in two E. coli isolates and in an Enterococcus faecium isolate. The MDR blaCTX-M-55-positive E. coli belonged to the pandemic clone ST58. The results of the present study suggest that nestling ospreys are exposed to MDR bacteria, possibly through the ingestion of contaminated fish. Ospreys may be good biosentinels for the presence of these microorganisms and antibiotic resistance in the local environment and the risk for other wildlife, livestock and humans.

Selection and Characterization of Bacteriocinogenic Lactic Acid Bacteria from the Intestine of Gilthead Seabream ( Sparus aurata) and Whiting Fish ( Merlangius merlangus): Promising Strains for Aquaculture Probiotic and Food Bio-Preservation. Life (Basel) 2023; 13:1833. [PMID: 37763237 PMCID: PMC10532712 DOI: 10.3390/life13091833] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2023] [Revised: 08/16/2023] [Accepted: 08/19/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
This study sought to evaluate the probiotic properties and the food preservation ability of lactic acid bacteria isolates collected from the intestines of wild marine fishes (gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) (n = 60) and whiting fish (Merlangius merlangus) (n = 40)) from the Mediterranean sea in the area of Mostaganem city, Algeria. Forty-two isolates were identified as: Enterococcus durans (n = 19), Enterococcus faecium (n = 15), Enterococcus faecalis (n = 4), Lactococcus lactis subp. lactis (n = 3), and Lactobacillus plantarum (n = 1). All isolates showed inhibition to at least one indicator strain, especially against Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Paenibacillus larvae, Vibrio alginolyticus, Enterococcus faecalis, Bacillus cereus, and Bacillus subtilis. In all collected isolates, PCR analysis of enterocin-encoding genes showed the following genes: entP (n = 21), ent1071A/B (n = 11), entB (n = 8), entL50A/B (n = 7), entAS48 (n = 5), and entX (n = 1). Interestingly, 15 isolates harbored more than one ent gene. Antimicrobial susceptibility, phenotypic virulence, and genes encoding virulence factors were investigated by PCR. Resistance to tetracycline (n = 8: tetL + tetK), erythromycin (n = 7: 5 ermA, 2 msrA, and 1 mef(A/E)), ciprofloxacin (n = 1), gentamicin (n = 1: aac(6')-aph(2″)), and linezolid (n = 1) were observed. Three isolates were gelatinase producers and eight were α-hemolytic. Three E. durans and one E. faecium harbored the hyl gene. Eight isolates showing safety properties (susceptible to clinically relevant antibiotics, free of genes encoding virulence factors) were tested to select probiotic candidates. They showed high tolerance to low pH and bile salt, hydrophobicity power, and co-culture ability. The eight isolates showed important phenotypic and genotypic traits enabling them to be promising probiotic candidates or food bio-conservers and starter cultures.

Abstract
Probiotics are amply studied and applied dietary supplements of greater consumer acceptance. Nevertheless, the emerging evidence on probiotics-mediated potential risks, especially among immunocompromised individuals, necessitates careful and in-depth safety studies. The traditional probiotic safety evaluation methods investigate targeted phenotypic traits, such as virulence factors and antibiotic resistance. However, the rapid innovation in omics technologies has offered an impactful means to ultimately sequence and unknot safety-related genes or their gene products at preliminary levels. Further validating the genome features using an array of phenotypic tests would provide an absolute realization of gene expression dynamics. For safety studies in animal models, the in vivo toxicity evaluation guidelines of chemicals proposed by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) have been meticulously adopted in probiotic research. Future research should also focus on coupling genome-scale safety analysis and establishing a link to its transcriptome, proteome, or metabolome for a fine selection of safe probiotic strains. Considering the studies published over the years, it can be inferred that the safety of probiotics is strain-host-dose-specific. Taken together, an amalgamation of in silico, in vitro, and in vivo approaches are necessary for a fine scale selection of risk-free probiotic strain for use in human applications.
