In this study, 30 lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated from 20 different fermented meat products obtained from the Afyonkarahisar province (Turkey). Molecular identification of these isolates was performed by amplification of the 16S rDNA gene using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. LAB isolated from 'sucuk' (spicy and fermented sausage) samples were identified as Enterococcus faecalis (2 isolates), Enterococcus durans (1 isolate), Lactobacillus sakei (3 isolates), Lactobacillus curvatus (2 isolates), Weissella viridescens (3 isolates), Weissella cibaria (2 isolates) and Weissella hellenica (1 isolate). LAB, isolated from salami samples, were identified as W. viridescens (1 isolate), E. durans (3 isolates), Leuconostoc mesenteroides (4 isolates), Carnobacterium maltaromaticum (1 isolate), Macrococcus caseolyticus (1 isolate). Also, LAB, isolated from sausages samples, were identified as E. faecalis (1 isolate), E. durans (4 isolates), Lactobacillus plantarum (1 isolate). Both agar spot and agar well diffusion assay methods were used to determine the antimicrobial activity of the LAB isolates. Isolates of LAB showed higher antimicrobial activity against Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19115, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Klebsiella pneumoniae NRRL B 4420, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 11778, Streptococcus faecalis NRRL B 14617 than against Escherichia coli ATCC 35218 and Bacillus subtilis NRS 744. Results showed that the LAB isolates produced antimicrobial substances that have a potential for different industrial and biotechnological uses.

Bacteriocin was bacterial metabolite that have antimicrobial properties, so it had the potential to be used as food bio preservatives. Bacteriocin was produced by lactic acid bacteria (LAB), one of the sources of which was from smoked fish products. Some regions in Indonesia produce various types of smoked fish from various types of fish, which were thought to contain bacteriocin-producing lactic acid; one of them was giant cathfish (Arius thalassinus). This study aims to obtain LAB isolates that have strong antimicrobial activity and have the potential to produce bacteriocin-like from smoked giant catfish (Arius thalassinus).  The research method used an experimental method that analyzed descriptively.  Based on the results, there were 15 isolates LAB isolated from smoked giant catfish. Three selected isolates showed strong antimicrobial activity inhibiting E. coli and S. aureus bacteria, and the most effective inhibiting Salmonella sp. One selected LAB isolates identified Pediococcus acidilactici suspected to produce pediocin bacteriocin-like, while the other two isolates identified Lactobacillus plantarum sp 1 and Lactobacillus plantarum sp 2 which suspected to produce plantaricin bacteriocin. Bacteriocin from the three isolates of LAB had characteristics stable to temperatures up to 121oC, stable in pH range 2-6, and bacteriocin activity increased with the addition of SDS (Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate) and EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) surfactants. The conclusion was that the bacteriocin produced was stable at high temperature, low pH, and resistence in the presence of surfactants, so it had the potential to be developed as biopreservatives material in preserving fish-based foods

Probiotics can act as a natural barrier against several pathogens, such Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium linked to stomach cancer. The aim of the present study was to isolate and identify lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from pulque and aguamiel, and evaluate their probiotic potential and antimicrobial effect on Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Helicobacter pylori. Ten isolates were selected and evaluated for in vitro resistance to antibiotics and gastrointestinal conditions, and antimicrobial activity against E. coli and S. aureus and the effect on H. pylori strains. 16S rRNA identification was performed. Ten potential probiotic isolates were confirmed as belonging to the genera Lactobacillus and Pediococcus. All the strains were susceptible to clinical antibiotics, except to vancomycin. Sixty percent of the isolates exhibited antimicrobial activity against E. coli and S. aureus. The growth of H. pylori ATCC 43504 was suppressed by all the LAB, and the urease activity from all the H. pylori strains was inhibited, which may decrease its chances for survival in the stomach. The results suggest that LAB isolated from pulque and aguamiel could be an option to establish a harmless relationship between the host and H. pylori, helping in their eradication therapy.

Bacterial contamination of fermented foods is a serious global food safety challenge that requires effective control strategies. This study characterized presumptive E. coli isolated from Obushera, a traditional fermented cereal beverage from Uganda. Thereafter, the antimicrobial effect of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) previously isolated from Obushera, against the E. coli, was examined. The presumptive E. coli was incubated in brain heart infusion broth (pH = 3.6) at 25°C for 48 h. The most acid-stable strains were clustered using (GTG)5 rep-PCR fingerprinting and identified using 16S rRNA sequencing. E. coli was screened for Shiga toxins (Stx 1 and Stx 2) and Intimin (eae) virulence genes as well as antibiotic resistance. The spot-on-the-lawn method was used to evaluate antimicrobial activity. Eighteen isolates were acid stable and are identified as E. coli, Shigella, and Lysinibacillus. The Stx 2 gene and antibiotic resistance were detected in some E. coli isolates. The LAB were antagonistic against the E. coli. Lactic acid bacteria from traditional fermented foods can be applied in food processing to inhibit pathogens. Obushera lactic acid bacteria could be used to improve the safety of fermented foods.

This study aimed to isolate and identify lactic acid bacteria (LAB) that could produce bacteriocins from urutan. Urutan is a Balinese sausage that is traditionally produced and naturally fermented. Urutans used in this study were obtained from several traders in the Baturiti, Mengwi, and Tegallalang region, Bali. More than 300 LAB colonies were isolated and underwent inhibition test against the growth of the indicator bacteria. Crude bacteriocins from two isolates, namely J2 and J6, showed inhibition zones against the growth of Lactobacillus plantarum E12.1 and Escherichia coli ATCC 8739. The J6 isolate also inhibited the growth of Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212. Both J2 and J6 were gram-positive, bacilli shaped, and showed negative catalase test. Based on the results of the 16S rDNA gene amplification, the two isolates were identified as Lactobacillus plantarum. Keywords: Lactic Acid Bacteria, Bacteriocin, Lactobacillus plantarum, Urutan

Lactic acid bacteria commonly used in fermented meat products, dairy products and smoked products such as pickled food industry. They can make the products have a special flavor and color, inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria, and reduce the nitrite content of products, improve food security. 12 strains of lactic acid bacteria were isolated from the salted fish. Some of their biochemical characteristics were studied and compared, as well as their abilities on the tolerance and degradation of nitrite. 3 strains named b2、j2、j5 were approved to degrade nitrite quickly with good biochemical characteristics. After amplification and sequencing of 16S rDNA gene, the isolated strains were identified by sequence homology as Lactobacillus plantarum, Leuconostoc mesenteroides and Pediococcus pentosaceus. Strainb2, j2 and j5could degrade 96.2%, 85.6%, 91.2%.

Introduction. Increased resistance of microorganisms to traditional antibiotics has created a practical need for isolating and synthesizing new antibiotics. We aimed to study the antibiotic activity and resistance of bacteriocins produced by lactic acid bacteria and other microorganisms. Study objects and methods. We studied the isolates of the following microorganism strains: Bacillus subtilis, Penicillium glabrum, Penicillium lagena, Pseudomonas koreenis, Penicillium ochrochloron, Leuconostoc lactis, Lactobacillus plantarum, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Pediococcus acidilactici, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Pediococcus pentosaceus, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus fermentum, Bacteroides hypermegas, Bacteroides ruminicola, Pediococcus damnosus, Bacteroides paurosaccharolyticus, Halobacillus profundi, Geobacillus stearothermophilus, and Bacillus caldotenax. Pathogenic test strains included Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus mycoides, Alcaligenes faecalis, and Proteus vulgaris. The titer of microorganisms was determined by optical density measurements at 595 nm. Results and discussion. We found that eleven microorganisms out of twenty showed high antimicrobial activity against all test strains of pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms. All the Bacteroides strains exhibited little antimicrobial activity against Gramnegative test strains, while Halobacillus profundi had an inhibitory effect on Gram-positive species only. The Penicillium strains also displayed a slight antimicrobial effect on pathogenic test strains. Conclusion. The antibiotic resistance of the studied lactic acid bacteria and other bacteriocin-producing microorganisms allows for their use in the production of pharmaceutical antibiotic drugs.

Biopreservation is a food preservation technology using microorganisms and/or their inherent antimicrobial metabolites to inhibit undesirable microorganisms. The aim of the present study was to explore the diversity and antimicrobial activity of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains (n = 99) isolated from ready-to-eat (RTE) seafood (cold-smoked salmon (CSS), gravlax, and sushi) towards two strains of Listeria monocytogenes (CCUG 15527, F11), Listeria innocua (CCUG 15531) and Escherichia coli (CCUG 38079). The LAB strains were assigned to five different genera (Carnobacterium spp., Lactobacillus spp., Leuconostoc spp., Weissella spp., and Enterococcus sp.) by sequencing a 1150 bp stretch of the 16S rRNA gene. A significant association between the seafood source and the distribution of LAB genera was found (p < 0.001), of which Leuconostoc spp. were most prevalent in sushi and Carnobacterium sp. and Lactobacillus sp. were most frequently isolated from CSS and gravlax. Antimicrobial activity among the LAB was significantly affected by LAB genera (F= 117.91, p < 0.001, one-way ANOVA), product of origin (F = 3.47, p < 0.05), and target (F = 4.64, p = 0.003). LAB isolated from sushi demonstrated a significantly higher antimicrobial effect than LAB from CSS and gravlax (p < 0.05). In general, a significantly higher antimicrobial activity was found towards Listeria spp. than E. coli (p < 0.05). However, Leuconostoc spp. demonstrated similar antimicrobial effects towards E. coli and Listeria spp., except for L. monocytogenes F11 being more sensitive (p < 0.05). This study suggested that seafood-derived LAB strains could be selected for technological application in RTE seafood systems.
