Abstract
Introduction. Acinetobacter baumannii is a nosocomial pathogen with a high potential to cause food-borne infections. It is designated as a critical pathogen by the World Health Organization due to its multi-drug resistance and mortalities reported. Biofilm governs major virulence factors, which promotes drug resistance in A. baumannii. Thus, a compound with minimum selection pressure on the pathogen can be helpful to breach biofilm-related virulence.Hypothesis/Gap Statement. To identify anti-biofilm and anti-virulent metabolites from extracts of wild Mangifera indica (mango) brine pickle bacteria that diminishes pathogenesis and resistance of A. baumannii.Aim. This study reports anti-biofilm and anti-quorum sensing (QS) efficacy of secondary metabolites from bacterial isolates of fermented food origin.Method. Cell-free supernatants (CFS) of 13 bacterial isolates from fermented mango brine pickles were screened for their efficiency in inhibiting biofilm formation and GC-MS was used to identify its metabolites. Anti-biofilm metabolite was tested on early and mature biofilms, pellicle formation, extra polymeric substances (EPS), cellular adherence, motility and resistance of A. baumannii. Gene expression and in silico studies were also carried out to validate the compounds efficacy.Results. CFS of TMP6b identified as Bacillus vallismortis, inhibited biofilm production (83.02 %). Of these, major compound was identified as 2,4-Di-tert-butyl phenol (2,4-DBP). At sub-lethal concentrations, 2,4-DBP disrupted both early and mature biofilm formation. Treatment with 2,4-DBP destructed in situ biofilm formed on glass and plastic. In addition, key virulence traits like pellicle (77.5 %), surfactant (95.3 %), EPS production (3-fold) and cell adherence (65.55 %) reduced significantly. A. baumannii cells treated with 2,4-DBP showed enhanced sensitivity towards antibiotics, oxide radicals and blood cells. Expression of biofilm-concomitant virulence genes like csuA/B, pgaC, pgaA, bap, bfmR, katE and ompA along with QS genes abaI, abaR significantly decreased. The in silico studies further validated the higher binding affinity of 2,4-DBP to the AbaR protein than the cognate ligand molecule.Conclusion. To our knowledge, this is the first report to demonstrate 2,4- DBP has anti-pathogenic potential alone and with antibiotics by in vitro, and in silico studies against A. baumannii. It also indicates its potential use in therapeutics and bio-preservatives.

Abstract
Ralstonia solanacearum can induce severe wilt disease in vital crops. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop novel antifungal solutions. The natural compound 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol (2,4-DTBP) exhibits diverse physiological activities and affects soil function. However, its specific impact on the R. solanacearum remains unclear. Here, we investigated the antimicrobial potential of 2,4-DTBP. The results demonstrated that 2,4-DTBP effectively inhibited its growth and altered morphology. In addition, it substantially impeded biofilm formation, motility, and exopolysaccharide secretion. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that 2,4-DTBP inhibited energy production and membrane transport. Additionally, 2,4-DTBP hindered the growth by interfering with the membrane permeability, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and electrolyte leakage. Concomitantly, this led to a significant reduction in pathogenicity, as evidenced by the biomass of R. solanacearum in the invaded roots. Overall, our data strongly support the potential utility of 2,4-DTBP as a potent antibacterial agent capable of effectively preventing the onset of bacterial wilt caused by R. solanacearum.

Abstract
Salmonella contamination in poultry meat is an important food safety issue as this pathogen can lead to serious illness and economic losses worldwide. In poultry meat processing, a variety of strong bacteriostatic agents has been introduced for controlling Salmonella including bacteriophages (phages), organic acids, and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP). In our study, two selected phages including vB_SenM_P7 and vB_SenP_P32 were used in combination with propionic acid (PA) and MAP for controlling Salmonella of multiple serovars on chicken meat under storage at 4 °C. The two phages showed strong lytic activity against over 72 serovars of Salmonella tested (25.0 to 80.6%). Phages, vB_SenM_P7 and vB_SenP_P32 showed 40% and 60% survival rates, respectively, after the exposure to temperatures up to 70 °C. Both phages remained active, with nearly 100% survival at a wide range of pH (2 to 12) and 15% NaCl (w/v). The available chlorine up to 0.3% (v/v) led to a phage survival rate of 80-100%. A combination of Salmonella phage cocktail and 0.5% PA could reduce Salmonella counts in vitro by 4 log CFU/mL on day 3 whereas a phage cocktail and 0.25% PA showed a 4-log reduction on day 5 during storage at 4 °C. For the phage treatment alone, a 0.3-log reduction of Salmonella was observed on day 1 of storage at 4 °C. In the chicken meat model, treatment by a phage cocktail and PA at both concentrations in MAP conditions resulted in a complete reduction of Salmonella cells (4-5 log unit/g) on day 2 of storage whereas each single treatment under MAP conditions showed a complete cell reduction on day 4. For the meat sensory evaluation, chicken meat treated with a phage cocktail-PA (0.5%) in MAP condition showed the highest preference scores, suggesting highly acceptability and satisfactory. These findings suggest that a combined treatment using a phage cocktail and PA in MAP conditions effectively control Salmonella in poultry meat during storage at low temperature to improve the quality and safety of food.

Abstract
Sponges forms association with many bacteria that serve as sources of new bioactive compounds. The compounds are produced in response to environmental and nutritional conditions of the environment that enable them to protect their host from colonization. In this study, three sponge bacterial endophytes were isolated, identified, and subjected to solvent extraction processes. The identified bacteria are Bacillus amyloquifaciens, Bacillus paramycoides, and Enterobacter sp. The bacteria were cultured in two different fermentation media with varying nutritional composition for the extraction process. The extracts were evaluated for antibacterial and antibiofilm activity against microfouling bacteria and the chemical composition of each extract was analyzed via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The extract from the endophytes shows varying antibacterial and antibiofilm activity against the tested strains. Several compounds were detected from the extracts including some with known antibacterial/antibiofilm activity. The results showed variations in activity and secondary metabolite production between the extracts obtained under different nutritional composition of the media. In conclusion, this study indicated the role of nutrient composition in the activity and secondary metabolites production by bacteria associated with sponge Also, this study confirmed the role of sponge bacterial endophytes as producers of bioactive compounds with potential application as antifouling (AF) agents.

Abstract
The specific aims of the current study were to determine and quantify the bioactive compounds derived from the cell-free supernatant (CFS) of Pediococcus acidilactici and screen their protective effect in frankfurters by applying an edible coating. This was achieved by immersing the peeled frankfurters in the CFS (CFS: 50% and 100%) alone or in combination with chitosan (CH: 0.5% and 1%) solutions for 3 min. Untreated frankfurter samples (control) exceeded the maximum acceptable total viable count limit (7.0 log10) on the 14th day, whereas samples treated with 100% CFS + 1% chitosan reached the limit on day 28 during refrigerated storage (P < 0.05). This treatment provided a 14-day extension to the shelf life of frankfurters without causing any significant changes in color and sensory attributes (P > 0.05). Additionally, this treatment inhibited oxidation in the frankfurters, leading to no significant changes in TBA and TVB-N within this group during storage (P > 0.05). This protective effect was mainly attributed to the wide variety of bioactive compounds identified in the CFS, including a total of 5 organic acids, 20 free amino acids, 11 free fatty acids, 77 volatiles, and 10 polyphenols. Due to these bioactive compounds, CFS exhibited a strong radical scavenging capacity (DPPH: 435.08 TEAC/L, ABTS: 75.01 ± 0.14 mg TEAC/L; FRAP: 1.30 ± 0.03 mM FE/L) and antimicrobial activity against microorganisms primarily responsible for the spoilage of frankfurters. In conclusion, the results indicate that the CFS contains high levels of bioactive metabolites, and an edible chitosan coating impregnated with CFS can be utilized to extend the shelf life of frankfurters through its antimicrobial effects and oxidation stabilization.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity of Weissella cibaria, Weissella hellenica and Bacillus coagulans, isolated from equine skin, against biofilm-forming Staphylococcus aureus CCM 4223 and clinical isolate methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Non-neutralized cell-free supernatants (nnCFS) of tested skin isolates completely inhibited the growth and biofilm formation of S. aureus strains and caused dispersion of the 24 h preformed biofilm in the range of 21-90%. The majority of the pH-neutralized cell-free supernatants (nCFS) of skin isolates inhibited the biofilm formation of both S. aureus strains in the range of 20-100%. The dispersion activity of B. coagulans nCFS ranged from 17 to 77% and was significantly lower than that of nnCFS, except for B. coagulans 3T27 against S. aureus CCM 4223. Changes in the growth of S. aureus CCM 4223 in the presence of catalase- or trypsin-treated W. hellenica 4/2D23 and W. cibaria 4/8D37 nCFS indicated the role of peroxides and/or bacteriocin in their antimicrobial activities. For the first time, the presence of the fenD gene, associated with biosurfactants production, was detected in B. coagulans. The results of this study showed that selected isolates may have the potential for the prevention and treatment of biofilm-forming S. aureus infections.

Abstract
The human gastrointestinal (GI) tract harbors diverse microbes, and the family Lachnospiraceae is one of the most abundant and widely occurring bacterial groups in the human GI tract. Beneficial and adverse effects of the Lachnospiraceae on host health were reported, but the diversities at species/strain levels as well as their metabolites of Lachnospiraceae have been, so far, not well documented. In the present study, we report on the collection of 77 human-originated Lachnospiraceae species (please refer hLchsp, https://hgmb.nmdc.cn/subject/lachnospiraceae) and the in vitro metabolite profiles of 110 Lachnospiraceae strains (https://hgmb.nmdc.cn/subject/lachnospiraceae/metabolites). The Lachnospiraceae strains in hLchsp produced 242 metabolites of 17 categories. The larger categories were alcohols (89), ketones (35), pyrazines (29), short (C2-C5), and long (C > 5) chain acids (31), phenols (14), aldehydes (14), and other 30 compounds. Among them, 22 metabolites were aromatic compounds. The well-known beneficial gut microbial metabolite, butyric acid, was generally produced by many Lachnospiraceae strains, and Agathobacter rectalis strain Lach-101 and Coprococcus comes strain NSJ-173 were the top 2 butyric acid producers, as 331.5 and 310.9 mg/L of butyric acids were produced in vitro, respectively. Further analysis of the publicly available cohort-based volatile-metabolomic data sets of human feces revealed that over 30% of the prevailing volatile metabolites were covered by Lachnospiraceae metabolites identified in this study. This study provides Lachnospiraceae strain resources together with their metabolic profiles for future studies on host-microbe interactions and developments of novel probiotics or biotherapies.

Abstract
Animal feed production is an important step of the food animal production chain in a farm-to-table model. The contamination of raw ingredients with foodborne pathogens in feed production remains as an important safety issue where pathogens may spread into food animals to cause illnesses in humans when affected food animals are consumed. In the present study, we aimed to examine the quality and microbial contamination of fish meal and to investigate the effectiveness of the organic acid-based antimicrobial agent SALTEC 514TM against Salmonella to prevent bacterial contamination in fish meal. Fish meal samples (n = 4) collected from feed mills at different locations were analyzed for protein and total volatile basic nitrogen (TVBN) content to assess their nutritional value and freshness, and its microbiological quality. The protein and TVBN content ranged from 53.2 ± 3.1 to 67.5 ± 2.3 g/100 g and 73.8 ± 4.5 to 100.4 ± 11.2 mg/100 g meal, respectively. Total plate count of the fish meal samples ranged from 2.0 ± 0.3 to 4.5 ± 0.5 log units, whereas suspected foodborne bacteria, Escherichia coli and Salmonella, were not detected in all samples. Fish meal samples were artificially contaminated (day 0) and re-challenged (day 30 and 90) with Salmonella Enteritidis (3 log CFU/g) to test for the effectiveness of SALTEC 514TM, an organic acid-based antimicrobial formulation, in preventing Salmonella contamination and recontamination during storage. SALTEC 514TM, when applied at three different doses, was found to reduce the number of Salmonella in monitored samples after one day of storage. A low dose of 0.5 kg/ton SALTEC 514TM prevented Salmonella recontamination from occurring in fish meal samples stored for 37 days. In medium (1.0 kg/ton) and high doses (3.0 kg/ton), applications of SALTEC 514TM prevented the Salmonella recontamination for a maximum storage duration of 97 days. The application of SALTEC 514TM in fish meal and/or other feed ingredients may prove to be a safe alternative to reduce the microbial load, especially of foodborne-related microorganisms, to contribute to feed and food safety.

Potential application of postbiotics metabolites from bioprotective culture to fabricate bacterial nanocellulose based antimicrobial packaging material. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 220:528-536. [PMID: 35988726 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.08.108] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2022] [Revised: 08/01/2022] [Accepted: 08/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Postbiotics (P) of FreshQ, a food protective culture, was prepared and used to develop an antimicrobial membrane by bacterial nanocellulose (BNC). Postbiotics were prepared in de Man, Rogosa and Sharpe medium and freeze-dried. The chemical composition was investigated by GC-MS and the antibacterial activity of postbiotics on different bacterial and fungal strains was investigated. Finally, postbiotics were included in wet and lyophilized BNC by ex-situ method, and their antibacterial activity and FTIR specifications were studied. The GC-MS analysis of postbiotics revealed the presence of fatty acids, alkanes, aldehydes, hydrocarbones fatty acid esters, propionic acid, and certain antibacterial and antifungal compounds such as 2,4-Di-tert-butyl phenol and dotriacontane. Postbiotics revealed antibacterial activity on all investigated strains in a concentration-dependent manner and as the concentation decreased, there was a significant reduction in antimicrobial effects. The zone of inhibition for all bacterial pathogens exceeded 20 mm, then they were classified as "extremely sensitive microorganisms" to the postbiotics at 50 % concentration, while fungal strains revealed a lower zone of inhibition (<17 mm). The order of antimicrobial susceptibility was as follows: Listeria monocytogenes > Staphylococcus aureus > Escherichia coli > Salmonella Typhimurium > Aspergillus flavus > Penicillium citrinum. We also recognized that P-BNC in wet form has significant antimicrobial activity than lyophilized form due to the high adsorption capacity and open 3D structure of BNC in wet form. The fabricated material can serve as an antimicrobial membrane for food applications.

Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are distinguished by their ability to produce lactic acid, among other interesting metabolites with antimicrobial activity. A cell-free supernatant (CFS) is a liquid containing the metabolites resulting from microbial growth and the residual nutrients of the medium used. CFS from LAB can have antimicrobial activity due to organic acids, fatty acids, and proteinaceous compounds, among other compounds. This review aims to summarize the information about CFS production, CFS composition, and the antimicrobial (antibacterial and antifungal) activity of CFS from LAB in vitro, on foods, and in active packaging. In addition, the mechanisms of action of CFS on cells, the stability of CFS during storage, CFS cytotoxicity, and the safety of CFS are reviewed. The main findings are that CFS's antibacterial and antifungal activity in vitro has been widely studied, particularly in members of the genus Lactobacillus. CFS has produced strong inhibition of bacteria and molds on foods when applied directly or in active packaging. In most studies, the compounds responsible for antimicrobial activity are identified. A few studies indicate that CFSs are stable for 1 to 5 months at temperatures ranging from 4 to 35°C. The cytotoxicity of CFS on human cells has not been well studied. However, the studies that have been performed reported no toxicity of CFS. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate novel growth mediums for CFS preparation that are compatible with food sensory properties. More studies into CFS stability and cytotoxic effects are also needed.

Abstract
The genus Weissella is attracting an increasing amount of attention because of its multiple functions and probiotic potential. In particular, the species Weissella confusa is known to have great potential in industrial applications and exhibits numerous biological functions. However, the knowledge on this bacterium in insects is not investigated. Here, we isolated and identified W. confusa as the dominant lactic acid bacteria in the gut of the migratory locust. We named this strain W. confusa LM1, which is the first genome of an insect-derived W. confusa strain with one complete chromosome and one complete plasmid. Among all W. confusa strains, W. confusa LM1 had the largest genome. Its genome was the closest to that of W. confusa 1001271B_151109_G12, a strain from human feces. Our results provided accurate evolutionary relationships of known Weissella species and W. confusa strains. Based on genomic analysis, the pan-genome of W. confusa is in an open state. Most strains of W. confusa had the unique genes, indicating that these strains can adapt to different ecological niches and organisms. However, the variation of strain-specific genes did represent significant correlations with their hosts and ecological niches. These strains were predicted to have low potential to produce secondary metabolites. Furthermore, no antibiotic resistance genes were identified. At the same time, virulence factors associated with toxin production and secretion system were not found, indicating that W. confusa strains were not sufficient to perform virulence. Our study facilitated the discovery of the functions of W. confusa LM1 in locust biology and their potential application to locust management.

Abstract
Antibiotics play a key role in the prevention and treatment of bacterial diseases for human and animals. The widespread use of antibiotics results in bacterial exposure to the concentrations that are lower than the MIC (that is, sub-inhibitory concentration (sub-MIC)) in the environment, humans, and livestock, which can lead to antibiotic resistance. In this review, we focus on the impact of sub-MIC antibiotics in bacterial virulence. This paper summarized the known relationships between sub-MIC antibiotics in the environment and bacterial virulence. Together, considering the impact of sub-MIC antibiotics and their alternative products in the virulence of bacteria, it is helpful to the rational use of antibiotics and the development of antibiotic alternative products to provide new insights.Key points• Sub-MIC level antibiotics exist in the environment, humans, and livestock.• The review includes mechanisms of sub-MIC antibiotics in bacterial virulence.• New antibacterial strategies and agents are being a new way to weaken virulence.

Abstract
Weissella strains have been the subject of much research over the last 5 years because of the genus' technological and probiotic potential. Certain strains have attracted the attention of the pharmaceutical, medical, and food industries because of their ability to produce antimicrobial exopolysaccharides (EPSs). Moreover, Weissella strains are able to keep foodborne pathogens in check because of the bacteriocins, hydrogen peroxide, and organic acids they can produce; all listed have recognized pathogen inhibitory activities. The Weissella genus has also shown potential for treating atopic dermatitis and certain cancers. W. cibaria, W. confusa, and W. paramesenteroides are particularly of note because of their probiotic potential (fermentation of prebiotic fibers) and their ability to survive in the gastrointestinal tract. It is important to note that most of the Weissella strains with these health-promoting properties have been shown to be save safe, due to the absence or the low occurrence of virulence or antibiotic-resistant genes. A large number of scientific studies continue to report on and to support the use of Weissella strains in the food and pharmaceutical industries. This review provides an overview of these studies and draws conclusions for future uses of this rich and previously unexplored genus.

Abstract
Postbiotics may be defined as soluble metabolites released by food-grade microorganisms during the growth and fermentation in complex microbiological culture, food or gut. It is rich in high and low molecular weight biologically active metabolites. There are still gaps concerning these substances, mainly how to use them for food applications. Although the most recent work on preparation and application of postbiotics from several probiotics are very encouraging, the suitability of postbiotics to combat microorganisms that deal with food safety should be tested mainly by analyzing the chemical composition and conducting antagonistic tests. Consequently, foods can effectively benefit from an identified postbiotic with a defined effect. This review approached the recent advances in relation to the preparation of postbiotics from lactic acid bacteria. The function of different instrumental analysis techniques and factors affecting the chemical composition of postbiotics were also comprehensively reviewed.
