Eight isolates of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis were isolated and identified by phenotypic and molecular characterisation out of 23 isolates of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from different dairy and non-dairy sources. Out of eight strains, four were obtained from dairy and four from non-dairy sources. All eight strains of L. lactis subsp. lactis were able to produce zones of inhibition against the Lactobacillus acidophilus NCDC 015. The antimicrobial agent produced by the isolates inhibited the growth of a range of related lactic acid bacteria and certain Gram positive food-borne microorganisms. The antimicrobial agent, i.e. nisin, produced by the strains was confirmed by PCR amplification of nisin gene sequences of 174 bp size. Antibiotic susceptibility test to 21 different types of antibiotics was evaluated. All the isolates were resistant to fosfomycin, cefepime, amikacin, kanamycin, neomycin, nalidixic acid, pipemidic acid, norfloxacin, sulphadiazine, colistin, polymixin, teicoplanin, nystatin, and amphotericin B but susceptible to ampicillin, erythromycin, spiramycin, spectinomycin, ciprofloxacin, rifampicin, and trimethoprim.

Since 2006, the use of growth-promoting antibiotics has been banned throughout the European Union. To meet the expectations of livestock farmers, various studies have been carried out with the use of lactic acid bacteria. Scientists are trying to obtain the antimicrobial effect against the most common pathogens in large-scale farms. Supplementing the diet of broilers with probiotics (live, nonpathogenic microorganisms) stabilized the intestinal microbiota, which improved the results of body weight gain (BWG) and feed intake (FI). The positive effect of probiotics based on lactic acid bacteria has been shown to prevent the occurrence of diarrhea during piglet weaning. The antagonistic activity of postbiotics (inanimate bacteria, cell components, or post-fermentation by-products) from post-culture media after lactobacilli cultures has been proven on Staphylococcus aureus—the pathogen most often responsible for causing mastitis among dairy cows. The article aims to present the latest research examining the antagonistic effect of lactic acid bacteria on the most common pathogens in broilers, piglets, pigs, and cow farms.

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.

Due to the increasing interest for healthy foods, the feasibility of using fresh-cut fruits to vehicle probiotic microorganisms is arising scientific interest. With this aim, the survival of probiotic lactic acid bacteria, belonging toLactobacillus plantarumandLactobacillus fermentumspecies, was monitored on artificially inoculated pineapple pieces throughout storage. The main nutritional, physicochemical, and sensorial parameters of minimally processed pineapples were monitored. Finally, probioticLactobacilluswere further investigated for their antagonistic effect againstListeria monocytogenesandEscherichia coliO157:H7 on pineapple plugs. Our results show that at eight days of storage, the concentration ofL. plantarumandL. fermentumon pineapples pieces ranged between 7.3 and 6.3 log cfu g−1, respectively, without affecting the final quality of the fresh-cut pineapple. The antagonistic assays indicated thatL. plantarumwas able to inhibit the growth of both pathogens, whileL. fermentumwas effective only againstL. monocytogenes. This study suggests that bothL. plantarumandL. fermentumcould be successfully applied during processing of fresh-cut pineapples, contributing at the same time to inducing a protective effect against relevant foodborne pathogens.
