The use of native microorganisms with probiotic capacity is an alternative tool for the treatment and prevention of several diseases that affect animals, such as neonatal calf diarrhoea. The selection of probiotic strains within a collection is based on different in vitro and in vivo assays, which predict their potential. The aim of this study was to characterise a group of native Lactobacillus spp. strains isolated from faeces of healthy calves using an in vitro approach and to assess their ability to colonise the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of calves. Native Lactobacillus spp. strains were evaluated on their capacity to survive low pH conditions and bile salts presence, biofilm formation and adhesion to both mucus and Caco-2 cells. Based on the in vitro characterisation, four strains (Lactobacillus johnsonii TP1.1, Lactobacillus reuteri TP1.3B, L. johnsonii TP1.6 and Lactobacillus amylovorus TP8.7) were selected to evaluate their capacity to colonise and persist in the GIT of calves. The assessment of enteric persistence involved an in vivo assay with oral administration of probiotics and quantification in faeces of the administered bacterial species with real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR). The study was conducted using 15 calves (1-month-old) which were divided into five groups of three animals, four of which were treated with four different selected strains and one was the control group. Strains TP1.3B and TP1.6 managed to persist in treated animals until ten days after the end of the administration period, indicating that they could be promising candidates for the design of probiotics for calves.

The Stability

Maize, which contributes to a large portion of the African diet and serves as the base substrate for many fermented cereal products, has been reported to be contaminated with fumonisins. This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro ability of predominant lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in African traditional fermented maize based foods (ogi and mahewu) to bind fumonisin B1 (FB1) and B2 (FB2), as well as the stability of the complex at different pH and temperatures, in particular observed during ogi fermentation and under its storage conditions (time, temperature). The percentage of bound fumonisins was calculated after analysing the level of fumonisins not bound to LAB after a certain incubation time, by HPLC. The results revealed the ability of all tested LAB strains to bind both fumonisins, with binding efficiencies varying between strains and higher for FB2. Binding of fumonisins increased with a decrease in pH from 6 to 4 (observed during the ogi fermentation process) and from 4 to 2 (acidic pH in the stomach), and an increase in temperature (from 30 to 37 °C). The percentage of FB1 and FB2 bound to LAB at pH 4 decreased after 6 days of storage at 30 °C for all LAB strains, except for Lactobacillus plantarum (R1096) for which it increased. Lactobacillus species (L. plantarum and Lactobacillus delbrueckii) were the most efficient in binding FB1 and FB2, whereas Pediococcus sp. was less efficient. Therefore, the Lactobacillus strains tested in this study can be recommended as potential starter cultures for African traditional fermented maize based foods having detoxifying and probiotic properties.

Abstract The aim of this work was to evaluate presence and properties of lactic acid bacteria in the faeces of 240 volunteers with various nutrition habits (vegetarians versus meat-eaters). Lactic acid bacteria counts in all age groups were nearly 5 or 6 logarithmic orders. Significantly higher amounts were found in women. Subsequently, based on the age and dietary pattern of probands, four samples were selected for isolation of lactic acid bacteria and identification of isolates in order to assign them to bacterial species. About 80 lactic acid bacteria were isolated from the faeces of young (21-30 years) and older (51-60 years) vegetarians and meateaters. The identification of the isolates was based on their morphological and biochemical characteristics. Isolates belong to lactobacilli, bifidobacteria, enterococci and propionibacteria. Surprisingly, bifidobacteria were predominated in older age group. The following probiotic properties were determined: survival at low pH value, and bile salt hydrolase activity. All strains were negative in bile salt hydrolase activity, but their growth was not inhibited in the presence of bile. The results from the study of survival at low pH value showed considerable variability in both dietary groups regardless the age of probands. However, it can be concluded, that bacteria isolated from the samples of older probands were more sensitive to acid pH.

Lactic acid (LA) is one of the primary metabolites that is considered to be a natural product derived from microorganisms such as Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB). The most prominent LA- producing LAB is the genus of Lactobacillus spp. and is found in almost all dairy products along with non-dairy food products. The application of LA can be found in various sectors including food, fermentation, pharmaceuticals, and chemical industries. LAB have lots of perspective in the production of organic acids as well as complex compounds that find potential application in food products such as yoghurt, cheese, buttermilk in addition to therapeutics uses such as probiotics that help in preventing gastrointestinal infections; improve pathogen protection; and alter host immunological responses. Moreover, fermentation with LAB also facilitates efficient nutrient quality and provides an effective method of food preservation. The present study provides an overview of the potential application of LA produced by Lactobacillus spp. in different sectors.

In Brazil, the blue-fronted Amazon parrot (Amazona aestiva) is a common pet. The faecal microbiota of these birds include a wide variety of bacterial species, the majority of which belong to the Gram-positive lactic acid bacteria (LAB) clade. The aim of this study was to investigate differences in the diversity and abundance of LAB and Bifidobacterium spp. in the cloacae between wild and captive birds and to select, identify and characterise LAB for consideration as a parrot probiotic. Cloacal swabs were collected from 26 wild and 26 captive birds. Bacterial DNA was extracted, and the 16S rRNA genes were amplified. The numbers of PCR-positive Enterococcus, Pediococcus, and Lactobacillus species isolated from wild and captive birds were significantly different (P<0.05). Enterococcus was the most frequently isolated genus, followed by Pediococcus, Lactobacillus, Lactococcus and Bifidobacterium. Enterococcus faecium, Pediococcus pentosaceus, Lactococcus lactis, Lactobacillus coryniformis, Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis and Bifidobacterium bifidum were the most frequently isolated species from all birds. This study increases our understanding of the faecal microbiota, and may help to improve the nutrition and habitat management of captive and wild parrots. The bacterial population identified in the faecal microbiota of clinically healthy wild and captive parrots can serve as a database to analyse variations in the gut microbiota of pathogen-infected parrots and to develop probiotics specific to these genera.

One of the most promising areas of development in the human nutritional field over the last two decades has been the use of probiotics and recognition of their role in human health and disease. Lactic acid-producing bacteria are the most commonly used probiotics in foods. It is well known that probiotics have a number of beneficial health effects in humans and animals. They play an important role in the protection of the host against harmful microorganisms and also strengthen the immune system. Some probiotics have also been found to improve feed digestibility and reduce metabolic disorders. They must be safe, acid and bile tolerant, and able to adhere and colonize the intestinal tract. The means by which probiotic bacteria elicit their health effects are not understood fully, but may include competitive exclusion of enteric pathogens, neutralization of dietary carcinogens, production of antimicrobial metabolites, and modulation of mucosal and systemic immune function. So far, lactic acid bacteria isolated only from the human gastrointestinal tract are recommended by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and World Health Organization (WHO) for use as probiotics by humans. However, more and more studies suggest that strains considered to be probiotics could be isolated from fermented products of animal origin, as well as from non-dairy fermented products. Traditional fermented products are a rich source of microorganisms, some of which may exhibit probiotic properties. They conform to the FAO/WHO recommendation, with one exception; they have not been isolated from human gastrointestinal tract. In light of extensive new scientific evidence, should the possibility of changing the current FAO/WHO requirements for the definition of probiotic bacteria be considered?

Bacteriocin producing bacteria are commonly found in meat products to enhance theirshelf-life. In the present study, bacterial species were isolated from meat samples (beef) from differentlocalities of Lahore, Pakistan. MRS agar medium was used to isolate lactic acid bacteria (LAB) throughspread and streak methods (incubated for 72 h at 37 °C). Identification of bacteriocinogenic LAB strainswas done by using staining techniques, morphology based characteristics and biochemical tests. Thesestrains were BSH 1b, BSH 3a, BIP 4a, BIP 3a, BIP 1b and BRR 3a. Antibacterial activity of LAB wasperformed against food borne pathogens viz., Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus through paperdisc diffusion method. Three bacterial strains showed maximum inhibition and characterised by ribotypingviz., BIP 4a was identified as Lactobacillus curvatus, BIP 3a was Staphylococcus warneri and BIP 1b wasLactobacillus graminis. Optimum pH 5-6.5 and 30-37 °C temperature for isolated bacterial strains wasrecorded. Protein concentration measured was 0.07 mg/mL for BSH 1b, 0.065 mg/mL for BSH 3a,0.057 mg/mL for BIP 4a, 0.062 mg/mL for BIP 1b, 0.065 mg/mL for BIP 3a and for BRR 3a 0.078 mg/mL,respectively. Bacteriocin of all isolates except BIP 3a was found to be sensitive towards pepsin and resistanttowards Rnase. Bacteriocin production was stable at between pH 5.0 and 6.0 and resistant temperaturewas 40 °C. It was concluded that lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from meat can be helpful as antibacterialagents against food-borne bacterial pathogens because of thermostable producing bacteriocin.
