Abstract
This study aimed to assess the antibacterial activity and bio-preservation capability of bacteriocin-producing LAB isolated from Ethiopian traditional fermented dairy products in raw milk from Jimma town. Bacteriocin-producing LAB were tested for their antimicrobial activity against various foodborne pathogens, including Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, and Salmonella typhimurium. The results showed that probiotic LAB isolates inhibited foodborne pathogens (E. coli, S. aureus, and L. monocytogenes), with inhibition zones ranging from 22.00 ± 0.57 to 34.13 ± 0.57. Enterococcus faecium and Lactococcus lactis demonstrated possible antagonistic effects against E. coli, while Pediococcus pentosaceus had a 34.13 ± 0.57 mm inhibitory zone against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The isolates also showed co-aggregation potential with the pathogens, with Lactococcus lactis isolates and their combinations demonstrating the best co-aggregation capabilities against the investigated pathogens. The bio-preservative assay showed that putative probiotic isolates (L. lactis JULABE35, E. faecium JULABE 23, and P. pentosaceus JULABE05) were efficient in decreasing Listeria monocytogenes in raw milk. After 7-8 days, milk samples diagnosed with these isolates showed complete reduction of Listeria monocytogenes. The bio-preservation capability of bacteriocin-producing LAB on raw milk extended the shelf life of milk at 4 °C storage for ten days, compared to six days for milk samples without probiotic LAB. The milk samples preserved with probiotic and bacteriocin-producing isolates showed good proximate analysis, showing significant variation with milk kept without bacteriocin-producing isolates. The isolated chemicals employed in this study can be used as food additives or food preservatives, indicating potential applications in Ethiopian traditional fermented dairy products.

Abstract
The misuse of antibiotics in the livestock industry has played an important role in the spread of resistant superbugs with severe health implications for humans. With the recent ban on the use of antibiotics in poultry and poultry feed in Canada and the USA, poultry farmers will have to rely on the use of alternatives to antibiotics (such as feed acidifiers, antibodies, bacteriophages, antimicrobial peptides, prebiotics, and probiotics) to maintain the same productivity and health of their livestock. Of particular interest are bacteriocinogenic probiotics, that is, bacterial strains capable of producing bacteriocins that confer health benefits on the host. These bacterial strains have multiple promising features, such as the ability to attach to the host mucosa, colonize, proliferate, and produce advantageous products such as bacteriocins and short-chain fatty acids. These not only affect pathogenic colonization but improve poultry phenotype as well. Bacteriocins are antimicrobial peptides with multiple promising features such as being non-harmful for human and animal consumption, non-disruptive to the host microbiota eubiosis, non-cytotoxic, and non-carcinogenic. Therefore, bacteriocinogenic probiotics are at the forefront to be excellent candidates for effective replacements to antibiotics. While evidence of their safety and effectiveness is accumulating in vitro and in vivo in inhibiting pathogens while promoting animal health, their safety and history of use in livestock remains unclear and requires additional investigations. In the present paper, we review the safety assessment regulations and commercialization policies on existing and novel bacteriocinogenic and bacteriocin products intended to be used in poultry feed as an alternative to antibiotics.

Abstract
Antibiotic misuse in the animal sector is the first cause of the emergence and spreading of MDR bacteria. Prevention of infectious diseases and enhancement of animal growth are the main effects of antibiotics that push farmers and veterinarians to use this molecule in animal farms. Thus, the use of alternative solutions such as natural antimicrobial substances as well as probiotic strains is a crucial need in this sector. Enterococcus faecium CMUL1216 was isolated from healthy human baby's feces. This strain was assessed in vitro for probiotic properties including activity against many pathogens isolated from animal, human, and soil samples. CMUL1216 strain exhibits good antimicrobial activity against indicator pathogens in both planktonic and biofilm forms. In addition, CMUL1216 strain showed a strong biofilm formation. Furthermore, CMUL1216 exhibits a good anti-inflammatory effect by inducing the secretion of IL-10 in vitro. Moreover, this strain did not show any pathogenic characteristics such as hemolytic effect, presence of virulence genes as well as susceptibility to the majority of antibiotic families. E. faecium CMUL1216 could be a good candidate to be used a probiotic strain in the animal sector in order to maintain animal health and therefore reduce antibiotic resistance caused by the excessive use in this sector.

Abstract
Our world is now facing a multitude of novel infectious diseases. Bacterial infections are treated with antibiotics, albeit with increasing difficulty as many of the more common causes of infection have now developed broad spectrum antimicrobial resistance. However, there is now an even greater challenge from both old and new viruses capable of causing respiratory, enteric, and urogenital infections. Reports of viruses resistant to frontline therapeutic drugs are steadily increasing and there is an urgent need to develop novel antiviral agents. Although this all makes sense, it seems rather strange that relatively little attention has been given to the antiviral capabilities of probiotics. Over the years, beneficial strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been successfully used to treat gastrointestinal, oral, and vaginal infections, and some can also effect a reduction in serum cholesterol levels. Some probiotics prevent gastrointestinal dysbiosis and, by doing so, reduce the risk of developing secondary infections. Other probiotics exhibit anti-tumor and immunomodulating properties, and in some studies, antiviral activities have been reported for probiotic bacteria and/or their metabolites. Unfortunately, the mechanistic basis of the observed beneficial effects of probiotics in countering viral infections is sometimes unclear. Interestingly, in COVID-19 patients, a clear decrease has been observed in cell numbers of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium spp., both of which are common sources of intestinal probiotics. The present review, specifically motivated by the need to implement effective new counters to SARS-CoV-2, focusses attention on viruses capable of co-infecting humans and other animals and specifically explores the potential of probiotic bacteria and their metabolites to intervene with the process of virus infection. The goal is to help to provide a more informed background for the planning of future probiotic-based antiviral research.

Antimicrobial activity of bacteriocins produced by Enterococcus isolates recovered from Egyptian homemade dairy products against some foodborne pathogens. Int Microbiol 2020; 23:533-547. [PMID: 32306109 DOI: 10.1007/s10123-020-00127-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2019] [Revised: 03/25/2020] [Accepted: 04/07/2020] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
The increasing mandate for fresh-like food products and the possible hazards of chemically preserved foods necessitate the search for alternatives. Bacteriocins represent a promising food biopreservative. In the present study, one hundred enterococci isolates recovered from Egyptian raw cow milk and homemade dairy products were screened for bacteriocin production. The overall detection rate was 10%. Three isolates, namely, Enterococcus faecalis (OE-7 and OE-12) and Enterococcus hirae (OE-9), showed the highest antibacterial activity with narrow spectrum against multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-positive foodborne bacteria: Enterococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus aureus. The antimicrobial activity was completely abolished by trypsin and proteinase K but not affected by lipase and/or amylase indicating the protein nature of the antimicrobial activity. Optimum conditions for bacteriocin production were cultivation in MRS broth at 37 °C, pH 6-6.5 for 16-24 h. The tested bacteriocins exhibited bactericidal activity on S. aureus subsp. aureus ATCC 25923; such activity was further investigated by transmission electron microscopy that revealed leakage and lysis of treated cells. Characterization of tested bacteriocins revealed high activity in a wide range of pH and temperature, storage stability, and heat resistance. PCR analysis revealed that the tested isolates produced multiple enterocins showing homology with the enterocins L50A, AS-48, and 31. Finally, this study reported potent antibacterial activity of bacteriocins derived from dairy products Enterococci against MDR foodborne and spoilage pathogens. The potency, specificity, and stability of these bacteriocins presented promising perspectives for application as biopreservatives in the food industry. The biopreservation of foods by bacteriocins produced by lactic acid bacteria recovered directly from foods remains an innovative approach.

Abstract
Pediococcus pentosaceus GS4 (MTCC 12683), a probiotic lactic acid bacterium (LAB), was found to produce bacteriocin in spent culture. Antibacterial and antagonistic potential of this bacteriocin against reference strains of Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 25619), and Listeria monocytogenes (ATCC 15313) was proven by double-layer and well diffusion methods wherein nisin and ampicillin were used as positive controls. Bacteriocin in supernatant was purified and analyzed by SDS-PAGE, RP-HPLC, and circular dichroism (CD). The physico-chemical properties of purified bacteriocin were characterized being treated at different temperatures (30 to 110 °C), pH (3.0 to 12.0), with different enzymes (α-amylase, pepsin, and lysozyme), and organic solvents (hexane, ethanol, methanol, and acetone) respectively. The molar mass of bacteriocin (named pediocin GS4) was determined as 9.57 kDa. The single peak appears at the retention time of 2.403 with area amounting to 25.02% with nisin as positive control in RP-HPLC. CD analysis reveals that the compound appears to have the helix ratio of 40.2% with no beta sheet. The antibacterial activity of pediocin GS4 was optimum at 50 °C and at pH 5.0 and 7.0. The pediocin GS4 was not denatured by the treatment of amylase and lysozyme but was not active in the presence of organic solvents. This novel bacteriocin thus m ay be useful in food and health care industry.

Abstract
Resistance to antibiotics is escalating and threatening humans and animals worldwide. Different countries have legislated or promoted the ban of antibiotics as growth promoters in livestock and aquaculture to reduce this phenomenon. Therefore, to improve animal growth and reproduction performance and to control multiple bacterial infections, there is a potential to use probiotics as non-antibiotic growth promoters. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) offer various advantages as potential probiotics and can be considered as alternatives to antibiotics during food-animal production. LAB are safe microorganisms with abilities to produce different inhibitory compounds such as bacteriocins, organic acids as lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide, diacetyl, and carbon dioxide. LAB can inhibit harmful microorganisms with their arsenal, or through competitive exclusion mechanism based on competition for binding sites and nutrients. LAB endowed with specific enzymatic functions (amylase, protease…) can improve nutrients acquisition as well as animal immune system stimulation. This review aimed at underlining the benefits and inputs from LAB as potential alternatives to antibiotics in poultry, pigs, ruminants, and aquaculture production.

Abstract
The emergence of multidrug-resistant enterococci (MDRE) and particularly vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) is considered a serious health problem worldwide, causing the need for new antimicrobials. The aim of this study was to discover and characterize bacteriocin against clinical isolates of MDRE and VRE. Over 10,000 bacterial isolates from water, environment and clinical samples were screened. E. faecalis strain 478 isolated from human feces produced the highest antibacterial activity against several MDRE and VRE strains. The optimum condition for bacteriocin production was cultivation in MRS broth at 37°C, pH 5-6 for 16 hours. The bacteriocin-like substance produced from E. faecalis strain EF478 was stable at 60°C for at least 1 hour and retained its antimicrobial activity after storage at -20°C for 1 year, at 4°C for 6 months, and at 25°C for 2 months. A nano-HPLC electrospray ionization multi-stage tandem mass spectrometry (nLC-ESI-MS/MS) analysis showed that the amino acid sequences of the bacteriocin-like substance was similar to serine protease of E. faecalis, gi|488296663 (NCBI database), which has never been reported as a bacteriocin. This study reported a novel bacteriocin with high antibacterial activity against VRE and MDRE.

Abstract
Background The objective of the study was to determine sensitivity of Enterococcus faecium strains from rabbit meat to enterocins. Results Twenty‐five decarboxylase‐positive strains (from rabbit meat) allotted to the species E. faecium by genotypization and by MALDI TOF MS spectrometry identification (evaluation score value range 2.104–2.359; in the range for highly probable species identification‐score value 2.300–3.000 and secure probable species identification/probable species identification‐2.000–2.299) were studied. Seventeen strains were gelatinase positive. Although they did not produce histamine (HIS), spermidine, and spermine, they produce at least one among seven tested biogenic amines (BAs) in small amounts (2–10 mg/L) or up to very high amounts (>1000 mg/L). Putrescine was produced by two strains. These decarboxylase‐positive strains were sensitive to enterocins (Ents). All strains were sensitive to Ent 2019 and Ent 55 (inhibitory activity from 200 to 819 200 AU/mL). Twenty‐two strains were inhibited by Ent A(P) and Ent 4231; 20 strains were sensitive to Ent M. Conclusion Our results have spread the basic knowledge related to inhibitory spectrum of enterocins showing sensitivity of decarboxylase‐positive strains to enterocins. Protective possibilities of enterocins in meat processing were also indicated.

Abstract
This study aimed at characterizing two novel bacteriocin-producing enterococcal strains isolated from human intestine. A total of 200 lactic acid bacteria were isolated from a woman stool sample. Two of them were selected for characterization due to their high antimicrobial activity against five strains of Listeria monocytogenes. The selected bacteria were identified as two different strains of Enterococcus faecium and designated MT 104 and MT 162. The bacteriocins produced by MT 104 and MT 162 were stable at different pH ranging from 2 to 11 and were active after different treatments such as heat, enzymes, detergents, and γ-irradiation. The two isolated strains exhibited some probiotic properties such as survival in simulated gastric fluid and intestinal fluid, lack of expression of bile salt hydrolase or hemolytic activity, adhesion to Caco-2 cells efficiently, and sensitivity to clinical antimicrobial agents. Thus, the two isolated strains of E. faecium could become new probiotic bacteria and their bacteriocins could be used for controlling L. monocytogenes in combination with irradiation for food preservation.

Abstract
Background The objective of this paper was to study antimicrobial activity and safety of Enterococcus faecium KQ 2.6 (E. faecium KQ 2.6) isolated from peacock feces. Methods Agar well diffusion method was adopted in antimicrobial activity assay. Disk diffusion test was used to determine the antibiotic resistance. The identification and virulence potential of E. faecium KQ 2.6 were investigated using PCR amplification. Results The results indicated that cell free supernatant (CFS) of the strain had the good antimicrobial activity against selected gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. The biochemical characteristics of antimicrobial substances were investigated. The results indicated that the antimicrobial substances were still active after treatment with catalase and proteinase, respectively. Moreover, the stability of antimicrobial substances did not change after heat treatment at 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80°C for 30 min, respectively. The activity of antimicrobial substances remained stable at 4 and −20°C after long time storage. The antimicrobial activity of CFS was compared with that of the buffer with similar strength and pH. The inhibitory zone of the buffer was apparently smaller than that of CFS, which meant that the acid in CFS was not the only factor that was contributed to antibacterial activity of CFS. The antibiotic resistance and virulence potential were evaluated using disk diffusion test and PCR amplification. The results showed that E. faecium KQ 2.6 did not harbor any tested virulence genes such as gelE, esp, asa1, cylA, efaA and hyl. It was susceptible to most of tested antibiotics except for vancomycin and polymyxin B. Conclusion E. faecium KQ 2.6 may be used as bio-preservative cultures for the production of fermented foods.
