Infant Mortality Rate is one indicator that determines health status. Every year there are 3 million infant deaths in the world, 80% of which occur in the first 6 days of life, with pneumonia and diarrhea still being the main causes of death. Based on Nurita's research (2019) on postpartum mothers and newborns, which aims to determine the relationship between the frequency of giving colostrum and birth mode with the number of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) colonies in the neonatal gastrointestinal tract. The results of the study found that the number of LAB colonies in babies born vaginally and C-Section was not much different, but the number of LAB colonies would increase in number if breast milk was often given. The education carried out targets an increase in the knowledge of educational participants with the outputs in the form of informative leaflets, educational video, educational X-Banners, activity reports and journal publications. Community service activities begin with licensing arrangements, time contracts, preparation of educational tools and materials, visits to Independent Midwives Practice (PMB, explanations of educational materials, discussions and questions-answers, showing educational videos, and handing over Educational X-Banners. It can be concluded that educational participants are still unfamiliar with lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and their role in the health of the baby's gastrointestinal tract, so further education is needed

<abstract> <p>The probiotic potential of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from Thai traditional fermented food was investigated. Forty-two samples were collected from four markets in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province. Out of 50 isolated LAB, 6 (a3, f4, f8, K1, K4 and K9) obtained from pla-ra and bamboo shoot pickle samples showed high tolerance to gastrointestinal tract conditions. These isolates were selected to identify and characterize their probiotic properties. Isolate a3 was identified as <italic>Weissella thailandensis</italic>, isolates f4 and f8 were identified as belonging to <italic>Enterococcus thailandicus</italic> and isolates K1, K4 and K9 were determined as <italic>Limosilactobacillus fermentum</italic>. All six LAB exhibited high autoaggregation ability (93.40–95.01%), while <italic>W. thailandensis</italic> isolate a3 showed potential for coaggregation in almost all the pathogenic bacteria tested. Cell-free supernatant (CFS) obtained from all isolates did not inhibit <italic>Staphylococcus aureus</italic>. CFS derived from <italic>L. fermentum</italic> isolate K4 showed the most efficient antimicrobial activity, in particular against Gram-negative bacteria, while <italic>L. fermentum</italic> isolate K4 presented high surface hydrophobicity in the presence of xylene and n-hexane. All LAB isolates were found to be resistant to clindamycin and nalidixic acid, whereas <italic>E. thailandicus</italic> isolate f8 exhibited resistance to most of the antibiotics tested. <italic>L. fermentum</italic> isolate K4 showed promise as a suitable probiotic candidate for future applications in the food industry due to tolerance to gastrointestinal tract conditions with high surface hydrophobicity and inhibited most of the pathogens tested.</p> </abstract>

Abstract. Yanti AH, Setyawati TR, Kurniatuhadi R. 2020. Isolation and characterization of lactic acid bacteria from fecal pellets, coelomic fluid, and gastrointestinal tract of Nypa worm (Namalycastis rhodochorde) from West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 4726-4731. Lactic acid bacteria isolated from the intestinal tract as probiotic could be beneficial because they could trigger the growth of the host by enhancing digestibility, increasing their immune system, and inhibiting pathogenic bacteria through the enzymatic process or metabolites production. The purposes of this study were to identify and characterize lactic acid bacteria from fecal pellets, coelomic fluid, and gastrointestinal tract of Nypa worm (Namalycastis rhodochorde). Bacterial isolation was carried out by the pour plate method on de Mann Rogosa Sharp Agar (MRSA). Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) isolates were purified and then physiologically characterized by some biochemical tests. Cellulolytic activities were carried out by detecting a clear zone formation on CMC-congo Red Agar. There were 20 isolates of lactic acid bacteria from fecal pellets, coelom fluid, and gastrointestinal tract of nypa worm. Ten isolates (50%) had cellulolytic activity on CMC-phenol red agar. Eight isolates were closely related to the genus Lactobacillus, while two isolates were closely related to the genus Bacillus. These cellulolytic bacteria could be developed further as probiotic in Nypa worm feed.

<p class="Abstract"><i>Bifidobacterium</i> is a group of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) that commonly found in the gastrointestinal tract and vagina. LAB has many health benefits, such as produce an antimicrobial substance against a pathogen. This research aims to isolate <i>Bifidobacterium</i> from an infant’s feces and know its antimicrobial activity against <i>Escherichia coli</i> and <i>Candida albicans.</i> A total of 5 isolates <i>Bifidobacterium</i> spp. were isolated from the sample. <span lang="EN">The largest inhibitory activity against <i>E. coli</i> was shown by isolate Bb3F, with the inhibitory zone of 10.80 mm. While the largest inhibition activity against <i>C. albicans</i> was shown by isolate Bb1B and Bb3F with the inhibitory zone of 9.70 mm.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

Abstract In prokaryotes, a major contributor to genomic evolution is the exchange of genes via horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Areas with a high density of HGT networks are defined as genetic exchange communities (GECs). Although some phenotypes associated with specific ecological niches are linked to GECs, little is known about the phenotypic influences on HGT in bacterial groups within a taxonomic family. Thanks to the published genome sequences and phenotype data of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB), it is now possible to obtain more detailed information about the phenotypes that affect GECs. Here, we have investigated the relationship between HGT and internal and external environmental factors for 178 strains from 24 genera in the Lactobacillaceae family. We found a significant correlation between strains with high utilization of sugars and HGT bias. The result suggests that the phenotype of the utilization of a variety of sugars is key to the construction of GECs in this family. This feature is consistent with the fact that the Lactobacillaceae family contributes to the production of a wide variety of fermented foods by sharing niches such as those in vegetables, dairy products, and brewing-related environments. This result provides the first evidence that phenotypes associated with ecological niches contribute to form GECs in the LAB family.

The gastrointestinal tract of human body is considered as an ecosystem which had been developed physiologically and microbiologically. The probiotic organisms (lactic acid bacteria) are one of the most important groups present in the gastrointestinal tract. A good number of Lactobacillus species, Bifidobacterium species, Saccharomyces boulardii and some other microbes are now used as probiotic strains. These probiotic organisms are marketed as health care products, functional foods or food supplements. The details of clinical, therapeutic applications and safety aspects of probiotics are discussed.
