Assessment of lactic acid bacteria isolated from the chicken digestive tract for potential use as poultry probiotics

Abstract: Objective: The use of probiotics as an alternative to antibiotics in animal feed has received considerable attention in recent decades. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have remarkable functional properties promoting host health and are major microorganisms for probiotic purposes. The aim of this study was to characterize LAB strains of the chicken digestive tract and to determine their functional properties for further use as potential probiotics in poultry.Methods: A total of 2,000 colonies were isolated from the … Show more

“…Nevertheless, the bacteriocin production by LAB is highly affected by several factors, including temperature, pH, and incubation time. It was also reported that the optimum secretion of bacteriocin is when the pH ranges between 5.0 and 6.0 [91]. In the present study, all the tested strains showed antibacterial activity against the target pathogens, most probably due to the organic acids secreted in their CFSs.…”

“…Cell surface proteins are produced by most LABs to help them bind to intestinal epithelial cells and activate immunoregulation to protect against pathogens [ 78 ]. By adhering to the host intestine, probiotics can inhibit pathogen colonization by preventing pathogens from interacting with specific receptors on host cells or by inhibiting their anchorage through steric interactions.…”

“…The acid tolerance test was conducted according to the method described by Sirisopapong et al [34], albeit with some modifications. Briefly, the final pH of the MRS broth was adjusted to 1.5, 2.5, and 3.5 using 0.1 mol/L HCl, respectively.…”
