A study was done on the influence of the saprophytic flora and/or lactic acid bacteria on development of Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Salmonella typhimurium, Salmonella enteritidis and Yersinia enterocolitica in vacuum-packed bologna-type sausage; Clostridium perfringens was tested in vacuum-packed frankfurters. Both lactic acid bacteria and the normal flora affected growth of the pathogenic bacteria. At low temperatures increasing inhibition was noted by the lactic acid bacteria acting on S. aureus and Y. enterocolitica. The normal flora severely restricted growth of Y. enterocolitica and salmonellae but not that of S. aureus. B. cereus was strongly inhibited by lactic acid bacteria, whereas C. perfringens did not grow in the vacuum packages with the concomitant flora.

Diarrhea is defecation with a frequency more often than usual (three times or more) a day (10 mL/kg/day) with a soft or liquid consistency, even in the form of water alone. Pathogenic bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, and Shigella sp., play a role in many cases, to which antibiotics are prescribed as the first-line therapy. However, since antibiotic resistance cases are often found, preventive therapies are needed, such as consuming yogurt, which is produced through a fermentation process by lactic acid bacteria (LAB). This research aimed to determine the activity of lactic acid bacteria (Liactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus) in yogurt in inhibiting the growth of the pathogenic bacteria E. coli, S. typhimurium, and Shigella sp. The research applied in vitro with the liquid dilution test method and the true experimental design research method with post-test-only and control group design. The design was used to see the inhibitory effect of yogurt LAB on the growth of E. coli, S. typhimurium, and Shigell sp. to compare the effect of several different yogurt concentrations, namely 20%, 40%, 60%, and 80%. The results of the Least Significance Different analysis showed that there was a significant difference between yogurt with a concentration of 0% and that with various concentrations in inhibiting the growth of E. coli, S. typhimurium, and Shigella sp. with a p-value of &lt;0.05. Whereas, there was no significant difference in the various concentrations of yogurt in inhibiting the growth of the three kinds of bacteria with a p-value of &gt; 0.05.<p class="Default" align="center"> </p>

Live probiotic bacteria obtained with food are thought to have beneficial effects on a mammalian host, including their ability to reduce intestinal colonization by pathogens. To ensure the beneficial effects, the probiotic cells must survive processing and storage of food, its passage through the upper gastrointestinal tract (GIT), and subsequent chemical ingestion processes until they reach their target organ. However, there is considerable loss of viability of the probiotic bacteria during the drying process, in the acidic conditions of the stomach, and in the high bile concentration in the small intestine. Bacillus subtilis, a spore-forming probiotic bacterium, can effectively maintain a favorable balance of microflora in the GIT. B. subtilis produces a protective extracellular matrix (ECM), which is shared with other probiotic bacteria; thus, it was suggested that this ECM could potentially protect an entire community of probiotic cells against unfavorable environmental conditions. Consequently, a biofilm-based bio-coating system was developed that would enable a mutual growth of B. subtilis with different lactic acid bacteria (LAB) through increasing the ECM production. Results of the study demonstrate a significant increase in the survivability of the bio-coated LAB cells during the desiccation process and passage through the acidic environment. Thus, it provides evidence about the ability of B. subtilis in rescuing the desiccation-sensitive LAB, for instance, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, from complete eradication. Furthermore, this study demonstrates the antagonistic potential of the mutual probiotic system against pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus. The data show that the cells of B. subtilis possess robust anti-biofilm activity against S. aureus through activating the antimicrobial lipopeptide production pathway.

The association of salmonella infections with the consumption of poultry products and the fact that in the live bird the Salmonella carriage is mainly asyptomatic have led to a demand for finding ways of preventing infection of commercially reared poultry and product contamination (Revolledo et al., 2006). One approach is the use of probiotics. The probiotic properties of lactic acid bacteria have been widely studied. Their capacity for adhesion to mucus, ability to autoaggregate and potential for coaggregation with pathogenic bacteria are potential mechanisms for providing a competitive advantage in the intestinal microbiota (Ghadban et al, 2002) and forming a barrier that prevents colonization of pathogenic microorganisms (Kos et al, 2003). In this study, a total of 53 lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated from the contents of the crop, caecum and small intestine, and from the mucosa of the crop, jejunum and ileum of three organically farmed chickens, were examined for autoaggregation and coaggregation with Salmonella enteritidis.

Abstract Fourteen lactic acid bacteria from fermented foods and feces of healthy animals in Thailand were characterized for their potential as probiotics. All isolates could survive in simulated gastrointestinal fluid (pH 2) and bile salt solution (pH 8) more than 70% and 63%, when compare with initial cell concentration, respectively. Adhesion test showed more than 70% adhesive property an in vitro experiment. The susceptibility assay showed that all isolates were susceptible to amoxicillin, ampicillin, erythromycin, chloramphenicol, clindamycin, imipenem, kanamycin, norfloxacin, penicillin, tetracycline and vancomycin. Based on phenotypic and genetic characteristics, they belonged to the genera Lactiplantibacillus, Levilactobacillus, Capanilactobacillus, Pediococcus, Enterococcus, Limosilactobacillus and Lacticaseibacillus. The isolates exhibited antimicrobial ability against pathogenic bacteria; Gram positive strains (Staphylococcus aureus TISTR 1466 and Listeria monocytogenes TISTR 2196) and Gram negative (Escherichia coli TISTR 780, Salmonella enteritidis TISTR 2202 and Salmonella typhimurium TISTR 292). Limosilactobacillus reuteri MF67.1 and Companilactobacillus farciminis R7-1 showed bile salt hydrolase activity. Cell-free culture supernatants of all 14 isolates were screened for immunomodulating effects on Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF-α) production. Twelve isolates were able to decrease TNF-α production at different levels, especially Lactiplantibacillus paraplantarum R26-3 and Lacticaseibacillus zeae M2/5 could high inhibit TNF-α production, showing 34 and 29% reduction, respectively. These results suggested that all 14 strains met the general criteria of probiotics and four strains, including Lacticaseibacillus zeae M2/5, Lactiplantibacillus paraplantarum R26-3, Limosilactobacillus reuteri MF67.1 and Companilactobacillus farciminis R7-1, represent interesting candidates for further studies as anti-inflammatory (M2/5, R26-3) or cholesterol reducing agents (MF67.1, R7-1) in vivo animal models.

Lactic acid starter cultures, Pediococcus cerevisiae (“Accel”) and Lactobacillus (“Lactacel DS”), were inoculated in cooked, mechanically deboned poultry meat (MDPM) and used as repressors of three Pseudomonas species, Salmonella typhimurium and Staphylococcus aureus. A 50-50 mixture of the two starter cultures was the most effective treatment for delaying the time necessary for three Pseudomonas species to attain 107 cells/g, which was associated with the spoilage of MDPM. The mixture totally repressed growth of S. typhimurium and S. aureus. Changes in pH values during the storage period were too small to explain the repression observed.

ABSTRACT This study assessed the inhibitory effects of the essential oil from Origanum vulgare L. (OVEO) on Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, and a mesophilic starter coculture composed of lactic acid bacteria (Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis and L. lactis subsp. cremoris) in Brazilian coalho cheese systems. The MIC of OVEO was 2.5 μl/ml against both S. aureus and L. monocytogenes and 0.6 μl/ml against the tested starter coculture. In cheese broth containing OVEO at 0.6 μl/ml, no decrease in viable cell counts (VCC) of both pathogenic bacteria was observed, whereas the initial VCC of the starter coculture decreased approximately 1.0 log CFU/ml after 24 h of exposure at 10°C. OVEO at 1.25 and 2.5 μl/ml caused reductions of up to 2.0 and 2.5 log CFU/ml in S. aureus and L. monocytogenes ,respectively, after 24 h of exposure in cheese broth. At these same concentrations, OVEO caused a greater decrease of initial VCC of the starter coculture following 4 h of exposure. Higher concentrations of OVEO were required to decrease the VCC of all target bacteria in semisolid coalho cheese slurry compared with cheese broth. The VCC of Lactococcus spp. in coalho cheese slurry containing OVEO were always lower than those of pathogenic bacteria under the same conditions. These results suggest that the concentrations of OVEO used to control pathogenic bacteria in semihard cheese should be carefully evaluated because of its inhibitory effects on the growth of starter lactic acid cultures used during the production of the product.

Abstract. Melia S, Purwati E, Kurnia Y. F, Pratama D. R. 2019. Antimicrobial potential of Pediococcus acidilactici from Bekasam, fermentation of sepat rawa fish (Tricopodus trichopterus) from Banyuasin, South Sumatra, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 20: 3532-3538. This study aimed to determine the antimicrobial potential of lactic acid bacteria isolated from bekasam. Bekasam is a result of sepat rawa fermentation from Banyuasin District, South Sumatra, Indonesia. The results showed that the morphological and biochemical properties of lactic acid bacteria were Gram-positive and cocci, negative catalase and included in homofermentative groups. The biggest antimicrobial activity was shown by bekasam isolate to Escherichia coli O157: H7 (21.26 mm), followed by Staphylococcus aureus ATCC25923 (18.23 mm) and Listeria monocytogenes CFSAN004330 (5.10 mm), while diameter barriers for crude bacteriocin supernatant isolates lactic acid bacteria to Escherichia coli O157: H7, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC25923 were 14.99 mm, 17.69 mm, and Listeria monocytogenes CFSAN004330 had no antimicrobial activity at neutral pH. The results of molecular identification with 16S rRNA showed that lactic acid bacteria isolated from bekasam isolate have similarity with Pediococcus acidilactici strain PB22 that has antimicrobial potential against pathogenic bacteria and potential as bio preservatives.

The aim of this study was to determine the degree of adhesion and hydrophobicity of some strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) with proven antagonistic properties against pathogenic bacteria. Studies were performed using-LAB strains isolated from the gastrointestinal tract of calves and piglets. These strains exhibited an antibacterial activity against pathogenic strains of Clostridium perfringens and Escherichia coli. Cell adhesiveness was examined in relation to the porcine and bovine mucin. Our analyses had shown that the tested microorganisms demonstrated a degree of adhesion in the range of 32.00-40.00% for strains isolated from calves, and 34.00-40.00% for strains isolated from pigs. The hydrophobicity of tested bacteria was in the range of 31.00%-44.00% for strains isolated from pigs, and 26.00%-42.00% for strains obtained from calves. The best mucin adhesion ability was found for bacterial strains belonging to the Enterococcus genus isolated from calves. Taking into account porcine isolates, the best adhesion was observed for the Leuconostoc bacterial strains. Among tested strains, the highest hydrophobicity, measured in relation to hexadecane, was recorded for the bacterial strains belonging to the Leuconostoc sp. isolated from piglets and a of Lactobacillus sp. bacterial strain isolated from calves.
