Abstract
Drug-resistant bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus represent a global health problem that requires priority attention. Due to the current situation, there is an urgent need to develop new, more effective and safe antimicrobial agents. Biotechnological approaches can provide a possible alternative control through the production of new generation antimicrobial agents, such as silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and bacteriocins. AgNPs stand out for their antimicrobial potential by employing several mechanisms of action that can act simultaneously on the target cell such as the production of reactive oxygen species and cell wall rupture. On the other hand, bacteriocins are natural peptides synthesized ribosomally that have antimicrobial activity and are produced, among others, by lactic acid bacteria (LAB), whose main mechanism of action is to produce pores at the level of the cell membrane of bacterial cells. However, these agents have disadvantages. Nanoparticles also have limitations such as the tendency to form aggregates, which decreases their antibacterial activity and possible cytotoxic effects, and bacteriocins have a narrow spectrum of action, require high doses to be effective, and can be degraded by proteases. Given these limitations, nanoconjugates of these two agents have been developed that can act synergistically in the control of pathogenic bacteria resistant to antibiotics. This review focuses on knowing relevant aspects of the antibiotic resistance of E. coli and S. aureus, the characteristics of these new generation antibacterial agents, and their effect alone or forming nanoconjugates that are more effective against the multiresistant mentioned bacteria.

Gupta S, Biswas P, Das B, Mondal S, Gupta P, Das D, Mallick AI. Selective depletion of Campylobacter jejuni via T6SS dependent functionality: an approach for improving chickens gut health. Gut Pathog 2024; 16:38. [PMID: 38997758 PMCID: PMC11245787 DOI: 10.1186/s13099-024-00628-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
The targeted depletion of potential gut pathogens is often challenging because of their intrinsic ability to thrive in harsh gut environments. Earlier, we showed that Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni) exclusively uses the Type-VI Secretion System (T6SS) to target its prey such as Escherichia coli (E. coli), and phenotypic differences between T6SS-negative and T6SS-positive C. jejuni isolates toward bile salt sensitivity. However, it remains unclear how the target-driven T6SS functionality prevails in a polymicrobial gut environment. Here, we investigated the fate of microbial competition in an altered gut environment via bacterial T6SS using a T6SS-negative and -positive C. jejuni or its isogenic mutant of the hemolysin-coregulated protein (hcp). We showed that in the presence of bile salt and prey bacteria (E. coli), T6SS-positive C. jejuni experiences enhanced intracellular stress leading to cell death. Intracellular tracking of fluorophore-conjugated bile salts confirmed that T6SS-mediated bile salt influx into C. jejuni can enhance intracellular oxidative stress, affecting C. jejuni viability. We further investigated whether the T6SS activity in the presence of prey (E. coli) perturbs the in vivo colonization of C. jejuni. Using chickens as primary hosts of C. jejuni and non-pathogenic E. coli as prey, we showed a marked reduction of C. jejuni load in chickens cecum when bile salt solution was administered orally. Analysis of local antibody responses and pro-inflammatory gene expression showed a reduced risk of tissue damage, indicating that T6SS activity in the complex gut environment can be exploited as a possible measure to clear the persistent colonization of C. jejuni in chickens.

Abstract
This review aims to comprehensively chronicle the biosynthesis, classification, properties, and applications of bacteriocins produced by Weissella genus strains, particularly emphasizing their potential benefits in food preservation, human health, and animal productivity. Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) are a class of microorganisms well-known for their beneficial role in food fermentation, probiotics, and human health. A notable property of LAB is that they can synthesize antimicrobial peptides known as bacteriocins that exhibit antimicrobial action against both closely related and other bacteria as well. Bacteriocins produced by Weissella spp. are known to exhibit antimicrobial activity against several pathogenic bacteria including food spoilage species, making them highly invaluable for potential application in food preservation and food safety. Importantly, they provide significant health benefits to humans, including combating infections, reducing inflammation, and modulating the gut microbiota. In addition to their applications in food fermentation and probiotics, Weissella bacteriocins show promising prospects in poultry production, processing, and improving animal productivity. Future research should explore the utilization of Weissella bacteriocins in innovative food safety measures and medical applications, emphasizing their potential to combat antibiotic-resistant pathogens, enhance gut microbiota composition and function, and synergize with existing antimicrobial therapies.

Abstract
The global trend towards raising broiler chickens without the use of in-feed antibiotics (IFAs) means that there is an ongoing need to develop alternative treatments capable of delivering the benefits that IFAs previously provided. IFAs supported the productivity performance of chickens and played a key role in maintaining their health. Necrotic enteritis (NE) is an important disease of broilers that affects health, productivity, and welfare, and was previously well controlled by IFAs. However, with the reduction in IFA use, NE is resurgent in some countries. Vaccines and various feed additives, including pre-, pro-, and postbiotics, phytobiotics, fatty acids, and phage therapies have been introduced as alternative methods of NE control. While some of these feed additives have specific activity against the NE pathogen, Clostridium perfringens, most have the more general goal of reinforcing gut health. Extensive reviews of the effects of many of these feed additives on gut health have been published recently. Hence, rather than cover previously well reviewed areas of research this review focuses on the challenges and pitfalls in undertaking experimental assessment of alternative NE treatments and translating laboratory research to real world commercial production settings. The review is based on the author's particular experience, reading, thoughts, and analysis of the available information and inevitably presents a particular understanding that is likely to be at odds with others thinking on these issues. It is put forward to stimulate thinking and discussion on the issues covered.

Abstract
The significance of gut microbiome and their metabolites (postbiotics) on human health could be a promising approach to treat various diseases that includes inflammatory bowel diseases, colon cancer, and many neurological disorders. Probiotics with potential mental health benefits (psychobiotics) can alter the gut-brain axis via immunological, humoral, neuronal, and metabolic pathways. Recently, probiotic bacteria like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium have been demonstrated for SCFAs production, which play a crucial role in a variety of diseases. These acids could enhance the production of mucins, antimicrobial proteins (bacteriocins and peptides), cytokines (Interleukin 10 and 18) and neurotransmitters (serotonin) in the intestine to main the gut microbiota, intestinal barrier system and other immune functions. In this review, we discuss about two mechanisms such as (i) SCFAs mediated intestinal barrier system, and (ii) SCFAs mediated gut-brain axis to elucidate the therapeutic options for the treatment/prevention of various diseases.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) treatments have shifted from small-molecular therapeutics to the oncoming biologics. The first-line biologics against the moderate-to-severe IBDs are mainly involved in antibodies against integrins, cytokines and cell adhesion molecules. Besides, other biologics including growth factors, antioxidative enzyme, anti-inflammatory peptides, nucleic acids, stem cells and probiotics have also been explored at preclinical or clinical studies. Biologics with variety of origins have their unique potentials in attenuating immune inflammation or gut mucosa healing. Great advances in use of biologics for IBDs treatments have been archived in recent years. But delivering issues for biologic have also been confronted due to their liable nature. In this review, we will focus on biologics for IBDs treatments in the recent publications; summarize the current landscapes of biologics and their promise to control disease progress. Alternatively, the confronted challenges for delivering biologics will also be analyzed. To combat these drawbacks, some new delivering strategies are provided: firstly, designing the functional materials with high affinity toward biologics; secondly, the delivering vehicle systems to encapsulate the liable biologics; thirdly, the topical adhering delivery systems as enema. To our knowledge, this review is the first study to summarize the updated usage of the oncoming biologics for IBDs, their confronted challenges in term of delivery and the potential combating strategies.

Abstract
The properties of probiotics such as lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been widely studied over the last decades. In the present study, four different LAB species, namely Lactobacillus gasseri ATCC 33323, Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG ATCC 53103, Levilactobacillus brevis ATCC 8287, and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum ATCC 14917, were investigated in order to determine their ability to survive in the human gut. They were evaluated based on their tolerance to acids, resistance to simulated gastrointestinal conditions, antibiotic resistance, and the identification of genes encoding bacteriocin production. All four tested strains demonstrated high resistance to simulated gastric juice after 3 h, and the viable counts revealed declines in cell concentrations of less than 1 log cycle. L. plantarum showed the highest level of survival in the human gut, with counts of 7.09 log CFU/mL. For the species L. rhamnosus and L. brevis, the values were 6.97 and 6.52, respectively. L. gasseri, after 12 h, showed a 3.96 log cycle drop in viable counts. None of the evaluated strains inhibited resistance to ampicillin, gentamicin, kanamycin, streptomycin, erythromycin, clindamycin, tetracycline, or chloramphenicol. With regard to bacteriocin genes, the Pediocin PA gene was identified in Lactiplantibacillus plantarum ATCC 14917, Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG ATCC 53103, and Lactobacillus gasseri ATCC 33323. The PlnEF gene was detected in Lactiplantibacillus plantarum ATCC 14917 and Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG ATCC 53103. The Brevicin 174A and PlnA genes were not detected in any bacteria. Moreover, the potential antioxidant activity of LAB's metabolites was evaluated. At the same time, the possible antioxidant activity of metabolites of LAB was first tested using the free radical DDPH• (a, a-Diphenyl-β-Picrylhydrazyl) and then evaluated with regard to their radical scavenging activity and inhibition against peroxyl radical induced DNA scission. All strains showed antioxidant activity; however, the best antioxidant activity was achieved by L. brevis (94.47%) and L. gasseri (91.29%) at 210 min. This study provides a comprehensive approach to the action of these LAB and their use in the food industry.

Abstract
Although there are number of available therapies for ulcerative colitis (UC), many patients are unresponsive to these treatments or experience secondary failure during treatment. Thus, the development of new therapies or alternative strategies with minimal side effects is inevitable. Strategies targeting dysbiosis of gut microbiota have been tested in the management of UC due to the unquestionable role of gut microbiota in the etiology of UC. Advanced molecular analyses of gut microbiomes revealed evident dysbiosis in UC patients, characterized by a reduced biodiversity of commensal microbiota. Administration of conventional probiotic strains is a commonly applied approach in the management of the disease to modify the gut microbiome, improve intestinal barrier integrity and function, and maintain a balanced immune response. However, conventional probiotics do not always provide the expected health benefits to a patient. Their benefits vary significantly, depending on the type and stage of the disease and the strain and dose of the probiotics administered. Their mechanism of action is also strain-dependent. Recently, new candidates for potential next-generation probiotics have been discovered. This could bring to light new approaches in the restoration of microbiome homeostasis and in UC treatment in a targeted manner. The aim of this paper is to provide an updated review on the current options of probiotic-based therapies, highlight the effective conventional probiotic strains, and outline the future possibilities of next-generation probiotic and postbiotic supplementation and fecal microbiota transplantation in the management of UC.

Abstract
Ensuring the safety of the use of probiotics is a top priority. Obviously, in addition to studying the beneficial properties of lactic acid bacteria, considerable attention should be directed to assessing the virulence of microorganisms as well as investigating the possibility of its evolution under conditions of selective pressure. To assess the virulence of probiotics, it is now recommended to analyze the genomes of bacteria in relation to the profiles of the virulome, resistome, and mobilome as well as the analysis of phenotypic resistance and virulence in vitro. However, the corresponding procedure has not yet been standardized, and virulence analysis of strains in vivo using model organisms has not been performed. Our study is devoted to testing the assumption that the development of antibiotic resistance in probiotic bacteria under conditions of selective pressure of antimicrobial drugs may be accompanied by the evolution of virulence. In this regard, special attention is required for the widespread in nature commensals and probiotic bacteria actively used in pharmacology and the food industry. As a result of step-by-step selection from the Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 8p-a3 strain isolated from the "Lactobacterin" probiotic (Biomed, Russia), the L. plantarum 8p-a3-Clr-Amx strain was obtained, showing increased resistance simultaneously to amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and clarithromycin (antibiotics, the combined use of which is widely used for Helicobacter pylori eradication) compared to the parent strain (MIC8p-a3-Clr-Amx of 20 μg/mL and 10 μg/mL, and MIC8p-a3 of 0.5 μg/mL and 0.05 μg/mL, respectively). The results of a comparative analysis of antibiotic-resistant and parental strains indicate that the development of resistance to the corresponding antimicrobial drugs in L. plantarum in vitro is accompanied by the following: (i) significant changes in the genomic profile (point mutations as well as deletions, insertions, duplications, and displacement of DNA sequences) associated in part with the resistome and mobilome; (ii) changes in phenotypic sensitivity to a number of antimicrobial drugs; and (iii) an increase in the level of virulence against Drosophila melanogaster, a model organism for which L. plantarum is considered to be a symbiont. The data obtained by us indicate that the mechanisms of adaptation to antimicrobial drugs in L. plantarum are not limited to those described earlier and determine the need for comprehensive studies of antibiotic resistance scenarios as well as the trajectories of virulence evolution in probiotic bacteria in vivo and in vitro to develop a standardized system for detecting virulent strains of the corresponding microorganisms. IMPORTANCE Ensuring the safety of the use of probiotics is a top priority. We found that increased resistance to popular antimicrobial drugs in Lactiplantibacillus plantarum is accompanied by significant changes in the genomic profile and phenotypic sensitivity to a number of antimicrobial drugs as well as in the level of virulence of this bacterium against Drosophila. The data obtained in our work indicate that the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance in this bacterium are not limited to those described earlier and determine the need for comprehensive studies of the potential for the evolution of virulence in lactic acid bacteria in vivo and in vitro and to develop a reliable control system to detect virulent strains among probiotics.

Abstract
Exercise reduces inflammation, fatigue, and aids overall health. Additionally, physical fitness has been associated with desirable changes in the community composition of the athlete gut microbiome, with health-associated taxa being shown to be increased in active individuals. Here, using a combination of in silico and in vitro methods, we investigate the antimicrobial activity of the athlete gut microbiome. In vitro approaches resulted in the generation of 284 gut isolates with inhibitory activity against Clostridioides difficile and/or Fusobacterium nucleatum, and the most potent isolates were further characterized, and potential bacteriocins were predicted using both MALDI-TOF MS and whole-genome sequencing. Additionally, metagenomic reads from the faecal samples were used to recover 770 Metagenome Assembled Genomes (MAGs), of which 148 were assigned to be high-quality MAGs and screened for the presence of putative bacteriocin gene clusters using BAGEL4 software, with 339 gene clusters of interest being identified. Class I was the most abundant bacteriocin class predicted, accounting for 91.3% of predictions, Class III had a predicted abundance of 7.5%, and Class II was represented by just 1% of all predictions.

Abstract
Bacteriocins are ribosomally synthesized antimicrobial peptides that have long been used in the food industry. Being a highly diverse and heterogeneous group of molecules the classification is ever-evolving. Their production is widespread among bacteria; nevertheless, their biosynthesis and mode of action remain fairly similar. With the advances in drug resistance mechanisms, it is important to look for alternatives to conventional approaches. Therefore, the advantages of bacteriocin over antibiotics need to be considered to provide a scientific basis for their use. Particularly in the last decade, intensive studies look at their potential as next-generation therapeutics against drug-resistant bacteria. Bacteriocins from lactic acid bacteria are being tested as controlling agents for bacterial and viral infections; they can inhibit biofilm synthesis and have potential as contraceptives. Bioengineered peptides have shown enhanced activity and thereby indicate the lack of knowledge we possess regarding these bacteriocins. In this review, we have listed various Gram-positive LAB bacteriocins with their synthesis and mechanism of action. Recent developments in screening and purification technologies have been analyzed with an emphasis on their potential clinical applications. Although extensive research has been done to identify multifunctional bacteriocins, it is important to focus on the mechanism of action of these peptides to get them from bench to bedside.

[PMID: 34926862 PMCID: PMC8646963 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2021.e08536] [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: 07/26/2021] [Revised: 08/11/2021] [Accepted: 11/29/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Fermented products, including Ogi-baba and Pito, provide several health benefits, particularly when probiotics are used in the fermentation process. Probiotic microorganisms exert strain-specific health-promoting activities on humans and animals. The objective of this study was to investigate the probiotic potentials of Lactic-acid bacteria (LAB) isolates from indigenous fermented sorghum products (Ogi-baba and Pito). The LAB isolates were screened for potential probiotic properties by antagonistic activity against eight enteropathogenic clinical bacteria isolates (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella sp., Helicobacter pylori, Bacillus sp., Staphylococcus sp., Salmonella sp., Pseudomonas sp. and Listeria monocytogenes) as indicator organisms using the agar well diffusion technique. The organisms were also screened for acidity, bile tolerance, antibiotic susceptibility, production of lactic acid, diacetyl and hydrogen peroxide. β-galactosidase assay was also done. Genomic DNA was extracted from the two selected LAB isolates; the 16S rRNA were amplified and sequenced. The sequence data were subjected to Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) and molecular phylogenetic analyses to identify the isolates. The isolates were identified as strains of Lactobacillus plantarum and Pediococcus pentosaceus. The sequence data for these two isolates were submitted to the Genbank with accession numbers KP883298 and KP883297 respectively. The P. pentosaceus strain (PB2) strain exhibited β-galactosidase activity as well as L. plantrum strain (OB6). The study revealed exceptional probiotic potentials of two LAB namely Lactobacillus plantarum strain (OB6) and Pediococcus pentosaceus strain (PB2) isolated from fermented sorghum products, Ogi-baba and Pito respectively. Hence, the two LAB strains may be potentially used as probiotic to prevent some enteropathogen-induced gastrointestinal disorders; reduce the incidence of respiratory tract infections and for the management of lactose in intolerance.

Characterization of bacteriocins produced by Lactobacillus species against adhesion and invasion of Listeria monocytogenes isolated from different samples. Microb Pathog 2021; 162:105307. [PMID: 34843920 DOI: 10.1016/j.micpath.2021.105307] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2021] [Revised: 11/15/2021] [Accepted: 11/19/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Listeria monocytogenes is an important difficult to control and eradicate foodborne pathogen due to its resistance properties to extreme conditions. Bacteriocins produced by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) can be considered as natural alternatives for safety and quality of foods, since these molecules offer antimicrobial activity against other bacteria. METHODS In this study, Lacticaseibacillus casei, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, and L. monocytogenes isolates were first characterized by phenotypical tests and 16S rRNA gene using PCR. Then, six types of bacteriocins produced by Lactobacilli strains were identified using molecular tests. The ability of these strains to compete with L. monocytogenes for adhesion and invasion to HT-29 cells was evaluated through colony count and MTT assay. Finally, the level of bacteriocins expression was assessed using qRT-PCR. RESULTS L. monocytogenes strains were categorized from A1 to A8 based on the source of isolation. In the adhesion assay, L. casei + L. monocytogenes isolated from milk and Lpb plantarum + L. monocytogenes isolated from feces presented the maximum adherence values. Further, Lpb plantarum + L. monocytogenes isolated from blood invaded to HT-29 cell line at the highest level. Eventually, L. casei + Lpb plantarum + L. monocytogenes isolated from placenta revealed more expression levels in comparison with other groups. CONCLUSION These results suggest a practical approach to classifying bacteriocins into functional groups that could be used for identifying the best mixture of bacteriocins for usage against L. monocytogenes.

Abstract
Enterococcus spp. are one of the most frequent producers of bacteriocins (enterocins), which provides them with an advantage to compete in their natural environment, which is the gut of humans and many animals. The enterocins’ activity against microorganisms from different phylogenetic groups has raised interest in Enterococcus spp. in different contexts throughout the last decades, especially in the food industry. Nevertheless, some species can also cause opportunistic life-threatening infections and are frequently multidrug-resistant (MDR). Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE), in particular, are an ongoing global challenge given the lack of therapeutic options. In this scenario, bacteriocins can offer a potential solution to this persistent threat, either alone or in combination with other antimicrobials. There are a handful of studies that demonstrate the advantages and applications of bacteriocins, especially against VRE. The purpose of this review is to present a current standpoint about the dual role of Enterococcus spp., from important producers to targets needed to be controlled, and the crucial role that enterocins may have in the expansion of enterococcal populations. Classification and distribution of enterocins, the current knowledge about the bacteriocinome of clinical enterococci, and the challenges of bacteriocin use in the fight against VRE infections are particularly detailed.

Abstract
Five open reading frames viz orf010, orf12, orf023, orf030 and orf038 coding class II bacteriocins in Lacticaseibacillus paracasei CNCM I-5369 strain previously isolated from an Algerian dairy product, were found to be expressed after 24 h of growth. The strain has also shown anti-E. coli activity in a narrow pH range between 4.5 and 5. Then, expression and purification of these bacteriocins was conducted in the heterologous host E. coli. This strategy enabled us to purify the peptide encoded by orf030 in large quantities, in contrast to other peptides that were produced but required to be released from the insoluble fraction following 4 M urea and desalting treatments. All peptides heterologously produced were characterized by MALDI TOF Mass spectrometry and successfully tested for their anti-E. coli activity. Furthermore, in silico transcriptional analysis was determined by Findterm tool and with Bagel4 software permitted to locate potential promoters and co-transcription events.

Fermented Rapeseed Meal as a Component of the Mink Diet ( Neovison vison) Modulating the Gastrointestinal Tract Microbiota. Animals (Basel) 2021; 11:ani11051337. [PMID: 34066725 PMCID: PMC8150280 DOI: 10.3390/ani11051337] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2021] [Revised: 05/03/2021] [Accepted: 05/04/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Fermented rapeseed meal (FRSM) was used in the diet of American mink (Neovison vison). An advantage of this product is its prebiotic and functional properties, which can modify the bacterial microbiota of the GIT. A control group and three experimental groups were formed, with 60 animals in each group. The control group received a basal diet and the experimental groups received a diet with a 2%, 4% or 6% of FRSM as a replacement of extruded wheat. Bacillus subtilis strain 87Y was used to ferment the rapeseed meal (RSM). The study was conducted on mink from the age of 16-17 weeks until slaughter. Changes in the microbiota were analysed in samples of the animals' faeces and intestinal contents. The analyses included determination of the total number of bacteria and fungi, the number of coliforms and Escherichia coli, the total number of anaerobic Clostridium perfringens, and the presence of Salmonella spp. In animals receiving 4% and 6% FRSM (groups II and III), the content of microscopic fungi and the number of C. perfringens bacteria was significantly (p ≤ 0.05) lower than in the animals from the control group (group 0). A decrease in E. coli was observed in all experimental groups (I, II and III), although these differences were not statistically significant. The inclusion of FRSM in the feed ration did not affect the number of lactic acid intestinal bacteria. Analysis of the results obtained from the stool samples showed that the inclusion of FRSM in the ration did not significantly affect the number of microorganisms in each group. However, as in the case of the intestinal contents, in these samples there was a decrease in the total number of C. perfringens in the experimental groups (I, II and III), with a simultaneous increase in the number of mesophilic bacteria in relation to the control. There was no detection of Salmonella bacteria in any of the analysed material.

Abstract
Listeria monocytogenes is a representative foodborne pathogen
and causes listeriosis. Enterococcus faecium CJNU 2524 was
confirmed to produce a bacteriocin with anti-listerial activity. To establish
optimal culture conditions for the production of the bacteriocin from E.
faecium CJNU 2524, different media (MRS and BHI broth) and
temperatures (25°C, 30°C, and 37°C) were investigated. The
results showed that the optimal culture conditions were MRS broth and
25°C or 30°C temperatures. The crude bacteriocin was stable in a
broad range of pH conditions (2.0–10.0), temperatures
(60°C–100°C), and organic solvents (methanol, ethanol,
acetone, acetonitrile, and chloroform). The bacteriocin activity was abolished
when treated with protease but not α-amylase or lipase, indicating the
proteinaceous nature of the bacteriocin. Finally, the bacteriocin showed a
bactericidal mode of action against L. monocytogenes.
Therefore, it can be a biopreservative candidate for controlling L.
monocytogenes in dairy and meat products.

Abstract
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) induce small intestinal damage. It has been reported that rebamipide, a mucoprotective drug, exerts a protective effect against NSAID-induced small intestinal damage; however, the underlying mechanism remains unknown. In this study, we investigated the significance of the small intestinal microbiota in the protective effect of rebamipide against indomethacin-induced small intestinal damage in mice. A comprehensive analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed an alteration in the composition of the small intestinal microbiota at the species level, modulated by the administration of rebamipide and omeprazole. The transplantation of the small intestinal microbiota of the mice treated with rebamipide suppressed the indomethacin-induced small intestinal damage. Omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, exacerbated the indomethacin-induced small intestinal damage, which was accompanied by the alteration of the small intestinal microbiota. We found that the transplantation of the small intestinal microbiota of the rebamipide-treated mice ameliorated indomethacin-induced small intestinal damage and the omeprazole-induced exacerbation of the damage. These results suggest that rebamipide exerts a protective effect against NSAID-induced small intestinal damage via the modulation of the small intestinal microbiota, and that its ameliorating effect extends also to the exacerbation of NSAID-induced small intestinal damage by proton pump inhibitors.
