Bacteriocins are antimicrobial proteins produced by bacteria that inhibit with a bactericidal or bacteriostatic mode of action, the growth of other bacteria. Many lactic acid bacteria (LAB) produce a high diversity of different bacteriocins. Bacteriocinogenic LAB are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) and useful to control the frequent development of pathogens and spoilage microorganisms; for this reason they are commonly used as starter cultures in food fermentations. In this study, the authors describe the results of a screening on 699 LAB isolated from wooden vat surfaces, raw milk and traditional Sicilian cheeses, for the production of bacteriocin-like inhibitory substances (BLIS), by comparing two alternative methods. The antagonistic activity of LAB and its proteinaceous nature were evaluated using the <em>spot on the lawn</em> and the <em>well-diffusion assay</em> and the sensitivity to proteolytic (proteinase K, protease B and trypsin), amylolytic (α-amylase) and lipolytic (lipase) enzymes. The indicator strains used were: <em>Listeria monocytogenes</em>, <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em>, <em>E. coli</em>, <em>Salmonella enteritidis</em>. A total of 223 strains (belonged to the species <em>Enterococcus</em> spp., <em>Lactobacillus</em> spp., <em>Pediococcus</em> spp., <em>Streptococcus</em> spp., <em>Leuconostoc</em> spp. and <em>Lactococcus lactis</em>) were found to inhibit the growth of <em>Listeria monocytogenes</em> by using the <em>spot on the lawn</em> method; only 37 of these were confirmed by using the well-diffusion assay. The direct addition of bacteriocin-producing cultures into dairy products can be a more practical and economic option for the improvement of the safety and quality of the final product.

The ability of Listeria monocytogenes to grow at low temperatures and increase to hazardous levels during storage of dairy products is of great concern to the dairy industry. List. monocytogenes was detected in 3·6% of 774 cows' milk samples from 114 farms in Central Spain (Gaya et al. 1998). Ewes' and goats' milks produced in Spain had contamination levels of 2·2 and 2·6% respectively (Rodríguez et al. 1994; Gaya et al. 1996). List. monocytogenes may survive during the manufacture and ripening of most cheese varieties, with higher risk in soft surface-ripened cheeses owing to the rise in pH during ripening (Maisnier-Patin et al. 1992; Giraffa & Carminati, 1997).The efficacy with which actively growing bacteriocin-producing cultures inhibit List. monocytogenes in some cheese varieties has been demonstrated. Nisin-producing starters inhibited List. monocytogenes V7 in Camembert cheese (Maisnier-Patin et al. 1992) and List. innocua BL86/26 in raw ewes' milk Manchego cheese (Rodríguez et al. 1998). A lacticin 3147-producing starter culture (McAuliffe et al. 1999) reduced List. monocytogenes Scott A levels in cottage cheese. Inoculation of milk with enterocin AS-48-producing Enterococcus faecalis INIA 4 inhibited List. monocytogenes strains Ohio and Scott A during the manufacture and ripening of Manchego cheese (Nuñez et al. 1997).Semi-hard cheese varieties from raw or pasteurized cows' milk mixed with different proportions of ewes' and/or goats' milk represent ∼ 50% of Spanish cheese production. The objective of the present work was to evaluate the antilisterial activity of three bacteriocin-producing lactic acid bacteria strains isolated from milk (Rodríguez et al. 2000) during the manufacture and ripening of a semi-hard cheese manufactured from raw milk.

Eight individual bacteriocin-producing lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains and three bacteriocin-non-producing cheese starter cultures were evaluated for their ability to inhibit the growth of six Listeria monocytogenes strains, originating from the guinea-pig lymph nodes, raw cow milk, and manufacturing dairy equipment. Results showed that either live cells or cell-free neutralised supernatant (CFNS) and/or heated CFNS of six individual LAB strains (Lcc. lactis subsp. lactis CCDM 416 and NIZO R5, Lbc. plantarum HV 11 and DC 1246, P. acidilactici HV 12, and Ent. mundtii CCM 1282) and one starter culture (DELVO-ADD<sup>&reg;</sup> 100-X DSF) were effective in the suppression of at least one listeria strain. Neither any individual LAB strain nor starter culture was antagonistic toward all studied L. monocytogenes strains, indicating diverse sensitivity/resistance among L. monocytogenes strains to antimicrobial compounds of LAB. The significant susceptibility of listerias isolated from raw milk and dairy equipment together with the strong antilisterial activity of DELVO-ADD<sup>&reg; </sup>100-X DSF could be applied in dairy technology, where commonly used starter cultures could play both the biopreservative and fermentation role. &nbsp;

Abstract This paper reveals the technological properties of lactic acid bacteria isolated from raw milk (colostrum and mature milk) of Wagyu cattle raised in Okayama Prefecture, Japan. Isolates were identified based on their physiological and biochemical characteristics as well as 16S rDNA sequence analysis. Streptococcus lutetiensis and Lactobacillus plantarum showed high acid and diacetyl-acetoin production in milk after 24 h of incubation at 40 and 30°C, respectively. These strains are thought to have potential for use as starter cultures and adjunct cultures for fermented dairy products.

The present study aimed to investigate the effect of probiotic lactic acid bacteria (LAB) addition on Listeria monocytogenes translocation and its toxin listeriolysin O (LLO), proinflammatory factors, immune organ indexes and serum immunoglobulins in farmed rabbits. Five treatments included negative control (NC), positive control (PC) with L. monocytogenes infection and supplemental LAB at 3.0 × 10<sup>6 </sup>(low-LAB, L-LAB), 3.0 × 10<sup>8</sup> (medium-LAB, M-LAB) and 3.0 × 10<sup>10 </sup>(high-LAB, H-LAB) CFU/kg of diet, respectively. The LAB was a mixture of equal amounts of Lactobacillus acidophilus (ACCC11073), Lactobacillus plantarum (CICC21863) and Enterococcus faecium (CICC20430). A total of 180 weaned rabbits (negative for L. monocytogenes) were randomly assigned to 5 groups with 6 replicates of 6 rabbits each in response to the 5 treatments. L. monocytogenes infection occurred on the first day of feeding trial and dietary LAB supplementation lasted for 14 days. The results showed that on days 7 and 14 post administration, L. monocytogenes in caecum, liver, spleen and lymph nodes was reduced in M-LAB and H-LAB compared to PC (P &lt; 0.05), and linear and quadratic reducing trends were found in liver on day 7 (P ≤ 0.002). On day 14, mucosa LLO mRNA expression and serum TNFα, IL1β and IFNγ were reduced in the three LAB treatments (P &lt; 0.05), and linear and quadratic trends were found on TNFα and IL1β (P ≤ 0.025); indexes of thymus and spleen, serum IgA and IgG were increased in the LAB treatments (P &lt; 0.05). It is concluded that LAB can be used to alleviate L. monocytogenes infection and to improve the immune function of farmed animals.
