Acinetobacter spp., the nosocomial pathogen, forms strong biofilms and is resistant to numerous antibiotics, causing persistent infections. This study investigates the antibacterial and anti-biofilm activity of polymyxin E alone and in combination with the cell-free supernatants (CFS) of the tested probiotic bacilli, Bacillus subtilis KATMIRA1933 and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens B-1895 against the selected Acinetobacter spp. starins. Three isolates of Acinetobacter spp., designated as Acinetobacter spp. isolate 1; Acinetobacter spp. isolate 2, and Acinetobacter spp. isolate 3, were collected from patients with burns, wounds, and blood infections, respectively. Bacterial identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing were conducted using the VITEK2 system. Auto-aggregation and coaggregation of the tested bacilli strains with the selected Acinetobacter spp. isolates were evaluated. A disk diffusion assay was used to identify the microorganism’s susceptibility to the selected antibiotics, alone and in combination with the CFS of the bacilli. The MIC and MBIC (minimum inhibitory and minimum biofilm inhibitory concentrations) of polymyxin E combined with bacilli CFS were determined. Acinetobacter spp. isolates were (i) sensitive to polymyxin E, (ii) able to form a strong biofilm, and (iii) resistant to the tested antibiotics and the CFS of tested bacilli. Significant inhibition of biofilm formation was noticed when CFS of the tested bacilli were combined with polymyxin E. The bacilli CFS showed synergy with polymyxin E against planktonic cells and biofilms of the isolated pathogens.

Khi tình hình bệnh hội chứng tôm chết sớm (EMS) đã gây thiệt hại vô cùng to lớn đối với Nuôi trồng thủy sản thì các giải pháp được đề nghị và áp dụng nhằm hạn chế dịch bệnh. Trong đó, việc tìm hiểu và đưa vi khuẩn có lợi để cạnh tranh và ức chế loài vi khuẩn gây bệnh rất được quan tâm, được cho là giải pháp có nhiều triển vọng phù hợp với điều kiện môi trường, đảm bảo sức khỏe cho con người, cũng như hạn chế được dịch bệnh. Đặc biệt, đưa vi khuẩn Bacillus spp. qua đường tiêu hóa của tôm ngay từ khi mới thả đã hạn chế được mật độ vi khuẩn Vibrio. Nghiên cứu này đã phân lập được các chủng Bacillus subtilis B1, Bacillus subtilis B2, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens B4và thử khả năng đối kháng với vi khuẩn Vibrio parahaemolyticus V1 ở các nồng độ 103, 104, 105, 106 CFU theo dõi ở các thời điểm 6h, 12h, 24h, 48h và 72h. Kết quả cho thấy cả ba chủng vi khuẩn Bacillus trên phân lập được đều có khả năng ức chế tốt vi khuẩn Vibrio parahaemolyticus V1, trong đó vi khuẩn Bacillus amyloliquefaciens B4 làtốt nhất với đường kính vòng kháng khuẩn 52,67 ± 4,31mm ở thời điểm 48h; hai chủng Bacillus subtilis B1, Bacillus subtilis B2 lầnlượt là  49,67 ± 3,15 mm, 44,07 ± 5,19 mm, với mức sai số có ý nghĩa thống kê p < 0,05.

The worldwide popularity of Dr. M.S. Reddy’s Multiple Mixed Strain Probiotic Therapy to treat or prevent the hospital acquired infections (nosocomial infections) arose a great interest in the medical community around the world (Reddy and Reddy, 2016; 2017). The following questions were raised on this subject: Does Multiple Mixed Strain Probiotics directly inhibit the pathogenic bacteria (C. diff) in the gastrointestinal tract or indirectly through modulation of the host immune system or both? To be more specific, what is the exact and/or hypothetical mechanism at molecular level behind the breakthrough discovery of Dr. M.S. Reddy’s Multiple Mixed Strain Probiotic Therapy?  To answer these questions, the specific immunomodulation regulatory functions of the individual Probiotic strains (on host) have beenresearched, investigated andoutlined in this article.  A detailed explanation(s) and hypotheses have been proposed outlining the possible cumulativedirect bacteriological and indirect immunomodulatory effects (at the molecular level) of the Multiple Mixed Strain Probiotics used in Dr. M.S. Reddy’s Multiple Mixed Strain Probiotic Therapy to successfully treat C. diff infection.  A detailed scientific and research attempts were made to correlate the Probiotic induced immune activities in relation to the reduction of the symptoms associated with the hospital acquired Clostridium difficile infection during and after the Multiple Mixed Strain Probioitc Therapy.  Results of the clinical trials, microbiological tests on feces, and the clinical blood tests significantly revealed that the reasons for the success of Dr. Reddy’s Multiple Mixed Strain Probiotic Therapy are multifold. Presumably, it is predominantly due to the immunomodulatory effect they have exerted on the host immune system along with the direct inhibition of C. diff bacteria by multiple Probiotics, due to the production of bacteriocins, lactic acid and nutritional competency.In addition, the size of the individual cells of the Probiotic strains in the Multiple Mixed Strain Probiotics and their significant effect on immunomodulation has been thoroughly discussed. Results clearly proved that if Probiotics are absent in the GI tract during C. diff infection, the chances of patient survival is zero.  This is because of the excess immune stimulation and incurable damage to the epithelial cell barrier of the gastrointestinal tract caused by C. diff bacteria.  The results also revealed, without any doubt, as of to-datethe latest discovery of Dr. M.S. Reddy’s Multiple Mixed Strain Probiotic Therapy is the best way to cure the deadly hospital acquired infections affecting millions of people around the world, with high degree of mortality.  This has been attested by several practicng medical professionals and scientists around the world (Reddy and Reddy, 2017).

Background: Doogh is a traditional Iranian fermented milk drink that is currently a very popular product in Iran. In the present study, the combined effects of incubation temperature, type of starter culture, and final pH of fermentation on the viability of two probiotic strains (Lactobacillus acidophilus La-5 (A) and Bifidobacterium lactis Bb-12 (B)) and biochemical and sensory characteristics of probiotic Doogh were investigated. </P><P> Method: Different treatments were prepared with yoghurt starter culture containing probiotics, using reconstituted skimmed milk with 6% of solid nonfat. They were incubated at 38°C or 44°C until pH 4.0 or pH 4.5 and were kept for 21 days at 4&#176;C or 8&#176;C storage temperature. The biochemical properties of treatments were evaluated during fermentation and refrigerated storage. The viable count and sensory attributes of treatments were studied at the end of fermentation and at the end of storage. </P><P> Results: Results showed that the greatest mean pH drop rate, mean acidity increase rate and mean redox potential increase rate and the shortest incubation time were observed in treatments incubated at 44&#176;C with final pH of 4.5. The highest survival of both probiotic strains during storage was related to treatments with fermentation temperature of 38&#176;C and final pH of 4.5. Treatments ABY1-38&#176;C-4.0 had the highest sensorial total acceptance at the end of refrigerated storage. </P><P> Conclusion: It would be concluded that the best treatment was ABY3-38&#176;C-4 stored at 8°C in regards of probiotics’ viability and sensory characteristics of Doogh. Thus, controlling the temperature of refrigerated storage is the most importance factor during storage and distribution.
