INTRODUCTION: Dadiah is a fermented buffalo milk product containing many potential lactic acid bacteria as probiotics. Lactic acid bacteria and their derivative products can prevent the onset of various diseases such as spur health and heart work, good food to increase stamina and endurance, prevent colorectal cancer, and improve intestinal microflora. AIM: This study aims to determine the influence of probiotic on dadiah as fermented buffalo milk products for breastfeeding women with normal bacterial flora of the gastrointestinal tract. METHODS: The study was conducted on 28 breastfeeding mothers who were divided into two groups with the same proportion, i.e., mothers who received dadiah ice cream and not. Interventions were performed for 1 month and analysis was performed on an infant’s feces. DNA isolated from feces and Lactobacillus plantarum concentrations were analyzed using real-time polymerase chain reaction. The standard curve designed to get the concentration of bacteria appropriately. Data analysis used SPSS version 20.0. Numerical data were analyzed by used unpaired t-test and paired t-test. A p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: The results showed that the mean intestinal microflora from the infant before the dadiah ice cream given was 4.2 × 107 CFU/g and after the dadiah ice cream was 8.6 × 108 CFU/g (p < 0.05) while in the control group, the mean L. plantarum intestinal infants before administered whey ice cream is 2.6 × 107 CFU/g and thereafter 1.3 × 107 CFU/g (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that there is an increase in L. plantarum concentration after the provision of dadiah ice cream in breastfeeding mothers.

Abstract Food preservation by chemical preservatives addition is not recommended in large quantities. However, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) metabolites can be used as a safe alternative. LAB can produce a type of antimicrobial peptide known as bacteriocin. One source of LAB that can be used as a bacteriocin-producing candidate is dadih, a traditional fermented buffalo milk product from West Sumatra, Indonesia. In this study, eight bacterial isolates isolated from dadih were identified using the catalase test and Gram straining and obtained 6 isolates that were taken as LAB. An antimicrobial activity test was carried out using the diffusion method on LAB liquid isolates suspension and crude bacteriocins from the six isolates. The isolates with the highest antimicrobial activity were DK8, the diameter of inhibiting zone of liquid isolates was 15.75 mm (Salmonella sp.), 14.25 mm (Escherichia coli), and 12.25 mm (Staphylococcus aureus). Meanwhile, the diameter of crude bacteriocin inhibition of DK 8 isolates was 8 mm (Salmonella sp.). 8 mm (E. coli), and 8.5 mm (S. aureus). Furthermore, 16S rRNA sequencing confirmed DK8 as Lactobacillus pentosus.

Lactic acid bacteria play a key role in human microecology and biotechnology – form organoleptic characteristics of products, increase the nutritional, including biological value of functional foods. Natural resistance to antibiotics is one of the important factors that determine the probiotic properties of lacto- and bifidobacteria. Aim. Study of the antibiotic resistance of functionally active probiotic cultures of "VIVO probioyogurt" leaven to determine the possibility of using a fermented milk product, which is prepared on its basis, during antibiotic therapy to maintain and restore normal intestinal microflora. Methods. Pure cultures of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were selected for the study: (Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp., L. acidophilus, L.casei, L. rhamnosus, L.paracasei, Streptococcus thermophilus, Bifidobacterium lactis (2 strains), B. infantis), which are part of leaven "VIVO probioyogurt" the quality of which is confirmed by certificates of the International Organization for Standardization ISO 9001: 2008, as well as ISO 22000: 2005. The method of the experiment consisted of the following stages: preparation of nutrient media ("Lactobacagar", "Bifidoagar", glucose-peptone medium), working solutions of antibiotics; working suspension of LAB; suspensions of cultures (lacto- and bifidobacteria), cultivation LAB on elective nutrient media with the addition of antibiotics and evaluation of research results. Determination of antibiotic resistance of LAB was performed by the method of double dilutions. Results. The use of this technique enabled to establish the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of antibiotics of different groups relative to the LAB. The results of the research were processed using a licensed computer program Microsoft Excel. Conclusions. Evaluation of the results of studies to determine the MIC of antibiotics – benzylpenicillin, azithromycin, lincomycin, gentamicin sulfate, ceftriaxone, norfloxacin, amoxil, streptomycin, tetracycline, erythromycin in relation to IBD; fermented milk product, which was prepared on the basis of this starter culture, it was advisable to use during antibiotic therapy to restore and maintain normal intestinal microflora.

Considerable speculation has occurred concerning the potential for higher numbers of foodborne pathogens on organically grown produce compared with produce not grown organically. The microflora composition of spring mix or mesclun, a mixture of multiple salad ingredients, grown either by organic or conventional means was determined. Unwashed or washed spring mix was obtained from a commercial California fresh-cut produce processor who does not use manure in their cultivation practices. Fifty-four samples of each type of product were supplied over a 4-month period. Analysis included enumeration of total mesophiles, psychrotrophs, coliforms, generic Escherichia coli, lactic acid bacteria, yeasts, and molds. In addition, spring mix was analyzed for the presence of Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes. The mean populations of mesophilic and psychrotrophic bacteria, yeasts, molds, lactic acid bacteria, and coliforms on conventionally grown spring mix were not statistically different (P &gt; 0.05) from respective mean populations on organically grown spring mix. The mean population of each microbial group was significantly higher on unwashed spring mix compared with the washed product. Of the 14 samples found to contain E. coli, eight were from nonwashed conventional spring mix, one was from washed conventional spring mix, and four were from nonwashed organic spring mix. Salmonella and L. monocytogenes were not detected in any of the samples analyzed.

<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>
