Abstract
BACKGROUND
Probiotics are food supplements that benefit the host by improving its intestinal microbial balance. Probiotics are used as diet supplements to prevent diarrhoea and improve lactose tolerance.
OBJECTIVES
The present study deals with the isolation of a potent probiotic strain capable of inducing healing properties in rat model.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Probiotic VITSAMJ1 was isolated from goat milk using MRS media. The antimicrobial assay was carried out against S. aureus (MTCC 3160) and the wound healing properties were assessed on female Wistar rats. A 1.5 cm2 subcutaneous wound was induced in the rats, and a probiotic gel formulation was tropically applied onto the wounds. Tissue biopsy was carried out after days 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11. Total leucocyte count and Histopathological analysis were performed after each interval.
RESULTS
VITSAMJ1 can be effectively used for wound healing.
CONCLUSION
VITSAMJ1 can be effectively used for wound healing.
