The use of natural preservatives called bacteriocin derived from lactic acid bacteria (LAB) is one way of preventing food from being contaminated by pathogenic microorganisms such as L. monocytogenes (LM). The aims of this study were to evaluate the ability of LAB isolated from dadih to inhibit the growth of LM and to obtain the antimicrobial components that play a role in inhibiting the growth of LM. The antimicrobial activity of the supernatant obtained from 12 strains of dadih LAB was determined using the paper disk diffusion method. The results showed that the supernatant from the 12 LAB strains was able to inhibit the growth of LM with various inhibition zones. However, out of the 12 LABs, only 9 strains were found to have an inhibition zone of more than 3.5 mm.  The antimicrobial compounds of 9 strains were tested and it was found that the antimicrobial compounds of strains R-8, R-14 and R-49 were derived from lactic acid. In addition, 6 strains namely R-43, R-32, R-19, R-55, R-45 and R-41 were derived from bacteriocin based on their sensitivity to pH, heat and enzyme treatments. Crude bacteriocin derived from 6 LAB strains inhibited the growth of LM, and the highest antimicrobial activity was obtained in Streptococcus faecalis subsp. liquefaciens R-55 with an average inhibition zone of 13.87 mm. Bacteriocin produced by strain R-55 can be used as natural preservatives for the prevention of food-borne disease caused by LM.

AbstractThere have been incerases in antibiotic resistant strains of human pathogens and causing treatment of microbial infections difficult. These days more attention is given to seraching new antimicrobial drugs to combat pathogenic microbes. Traditional fermented cottage of Metata Ayib which is naturally enriched with lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and used to preserve cheese for long time in Northern Ethiopia, may have antimicrobial activity against various human pathogens. However, there was no scientific report on the antimicrobial activity of lactic acid bacteria isolated from Metata Ayib. The objective of this study is to evaluate antibacterial activity of lactic acid bacteria from Metata Ayib against clinical and standard human pathogens. The study was laboratory based experiment. Antibiotic production by the LAB was performed by inoculating the LAB isolates into 6.0 ml MRS medium and incubating at 30 °C. Cell free supernatants (CFS) were collected by centrifugation (10,000 rpm for 15 min at 4 °C) of the six day fermented broth cultures. The pH of the CFS was adjusted to 6.5 with 4 N NaOH to eliminate the effect of organic acids.The susceptibility of produced antibiotic against test organisms was done by growing on Muller Hinton agar in triplicate using well diffusion method and the inhibition zone was recorded. Preceddingly, MIC and MBC was determined using standard methods. The antibiotic substance exhibited antimicrobial activity towards standard and drug resistant bacteral strains with the inhibition zone ranges upto 25.33±3.21 mm. The result of MIC against tested ornaisnms showed a considerable antimicrobial activity of the antibiotic substance withn the range values 6.25% to12.5%. In addition, the result of this study showed that LAB obtained from Metata Ayib exhibits antimicrobial activity against standard and pathogenic pathogenic test bacterial species ranged from 12.5-25% of MBC value. This might be due to the production of organic acids, but also other compounds, such as ethanol, hydrogen peroxide, diacetyl, reuterin and bacteriocins. The results of this investigation can also provide baseline for information for future studies about the application of antibacterial substances produced by LAB from fermented Metata ayib.

Objective. The main objective of this study was to select lactic acid bacteria strains with antimicrobial activity and to identify and characterize the antimicrobial compounds. Methods. In this study we tested the antimicrobial activity of 153 lactic bacteria strains by disk diffusion method against 6 microbial pathogenic strains isolated from patients with urinary and vaginal infections. Results. Antimicrobial test results revealed that most of lactic acid bacteria strains exhibited high antimicrobial activity against pathogenic microorganisms. For most of lactic bacteria strains antimicrobial activity has been correlated with the production of organic acids and only for two strains with the biosynthesis of bacteriocins. Bacteriocin produced by Lactococcus (Lc.) lactis F2a strain presented a broad spectrum of activity and high activity (51,200 AU/ml) compared with bacteriocins isolated from Lactobacillus (Lb.) paracasei ssp. paracasei JR strain (400 AU/ml). The stability tests of bacteriocin revealed that the bacteriocin produced by Lc. lactis F2a strain, it is stable at acid pH while exposure for long time to 600C causes a drastic decrease in bacteriocin activity. Conclusions. Lactic bacteria strains showed a high antimicrobial activity against both prokaryotic and eukaryotic pathogen strains. Two bacterial strains have bacteriocins. Bacteriocins isolated from Lc. lactis F2a strain showed a high activity and a broad spectrum of action.

Genus Mentha presents group of plants which are the most studied in family Lamiaceae. Aboveground parts are used for different purposes in pharmacy, food industry or confectionery. Most important is natural product extracted from leaves - essential oil (EO). The aim of presented experiment was to demonstrate different chemotype and compare antibacterial activity of two Mentha species EO. Plant samples were obtained from various environments – from Slovakia and from Italy. Dominant compounds were determined by GC/MS. The results showed high amount of menthol and menthone in tested Slovak peppermint EO. On the other hand, carvone and 1,8-cineole were determinate as dominant compounds in Italian spearmint EO. The antimicrobial activity of the EO was investigated by disc diffusion and broth micro dilution methods. EO was evaluated for their antibacterial activity against 7 microorganisms: Enterobacter cloacae, Salmonella spp., Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes. The determination results of antibacterial activity by agar disk diffusion method ranged from 7 to 14 mm of the growth inhibition zone. MIC of tested mint EO varied from 0.625 to 2.5 μg/mL. In addition, both EO showed relatively the same antibacterial activity against the selected Gram-negative bacteria. However, there is a variation in the antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to determine the antimicrobial compounds extracted from various types of soybean materials; raw soybean, soybean flour and roasted soybean. Bacteria growth inhibition was tested in E.coli and S. aureus by disk diffusion method. Efficiency of antimicrobial activities were compared among the extracted solution. Design/methodology/approach Soybean (Glycine max) isoflavones contain the ability to inhibit the growth of many strains of microorganisms. The solid-liquid extraction, ethanol-hexane extraction, was modified to isolate the inhibitory compounds from the three different types of soybean materials. All crude extracts at various concentrations performed under different extracted solutions (75, 50, 25, 12.5, 6.25 and 3.125 percent) were tested with E. coli. and S. aureus to determine the antimicrobial activities and the minimum inhibition concentration (MIC). Disk diffusion method was chosen to study the antimicrobial activity of isoflavones. Findings Soybean flour extract inhibited the growth of E. coli and S. aureus more effective than roasted soybean and raw soybean, respectively. The MIC of inhibitory compounds extracted from soybean flour was 6.25 percent (0.031 mg/ml), roasted soybean was 25 percent (0.125 mg/ml) and raw soybean was 50 percent (0.250 mg/ml). Crude extracts of soybean flour and roasted soybean showed better results than raw soybean. All the three of extracted soybeans inhibited the growth of E. coli better than S. aureus. Originality/value Ethanol-hexane extraction was successfully used to isolate the antimicrobial compounds from raw soybean, soybean flour and roasted soybean. Comparison of antimicrobial activity showed that soybean flour contained the highest inhibition activity.
