Evaluation of probiotic potential of autochthonous lactobacilli strains isolated from Zabuli yellow kashk, an Iranian dairy product

Abstract

Aims:The aim of this study was to evaluate the probiotic potential and anti-biofilm activity of five lactobacilli strains which isolated and identified from an Iranian product. Methods and Results:Five lactobacilli strains, which were isolated from Zabuli yellow kashk, were evaluated for the presence of probiotic properties, such as resistance to low pH, resistance to simulated gastrointestinal conditions, bile salt tolerance, hydrophobicity, and auto-and co-aggregation. In addition, antimicrobial susceptibility, adherence to Caco-2 cells (human colon cancer cell line), anti-adhesion activity, ability against biofilm formation and biofilm degradation of mentioned strains against Pseudomonas aeruginosa PTCC 1707 were assessed. All the strains tested showed acceptable characteristics, but Lactiplantibacillus plantarum TW57-4 appeared of particular interest. Some probiotic properties of this strain were similar and in some cases higher than the commercial probiotic strain Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG (standard sample). Cholesterol assimilation and radical-scavenging activity of Lpb. plantarum TW57-4 were 70.2% and 62.3%, respectively. The adhesion degree of Lpb. plantarum TW57-4 was 10.6%. Applying competition and inhibition assay, this strain showed 55.3% and 62.3% of competition and inhibition activity in adhesion of P. aeruginosa PTCC 1707 to the intestinal cells, respectively. Conclusions: According to the obtained results, it can be concluded that Lpb. plantarum TW57-4 strain can be used as a promising candidate for in-vivo studies with the aim of developing new probiotic starter cultures. Significance and Impact of the Study:The present study furthers our understanding of lactobacilli strains behaviour after consumption to establish their beneficial effects.

The Effect of Plasma-Activated Water Combined with Rosemary Extract (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) on the Physicochemical Properties of Frankfurter Sausage during Storage

“…To determine significant differences between the mean values, Duncan's test was conducted at a significance level of p < 0.05. The experiments were independently conducted three times [20].…”

Investigating the Antagonistic Effect of Indigenous Probiotics on Carbapenem‐Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa Strains

“…Infections in nosocomial settings are frequently brought on by Pseudomonas aeruginosa [ 5 , 6 ]. The ability of P. aeruginosa to acquire and spread resistance both vertically and horizontally in the hospital environment and its propensity to persist on both animate and inanimate things around the patient, including antiseptic solutions, are all attributed to its metabolic inventiveness [ 7 ]. Multi-drug-resistant (MDR) bacteria are on the rise and posing a serious health risk to people all over the world [ 8 ].…”
