In vivo Testing of Functional Properties of Three Selected Probiotic Strains

Abstract: Lactobacillus acidophilus M92, Lactobacillus plantarum L4 and Enterococcus faecium L3 were previously selected as probiotic strains on the base of in vitro selection criteria. To investigate functional properties of these three probiotic strains in vivo, Swiss albino mice were used as animal model. Survival, competition, adhesion and colonization were monitored in the gastrointestinal tract, as well as the immunomodulating capability of L. acidophilus M92, L. plantarum L4 and E. faecium L3. During the feeding … Show more

“…Another essential property for the probiotic activity of a functional starter culture is the competition with pathogens (29) One of the selection criteria for probiotic strains is the ability to adhere to the intestinal tract of the host. Good adhesion means that a probiotic strain will exert its properties be er (1,2). In this respect, our L. lactis ssp.…”

“…If the number of enterococci recovered had been decreased, greater Lactobacillus strain diversity may have been revealed. Rif r marking to recover introduced Lactobacillus strains from the indigenous GIT microbiota has been successfully used in chickens (23,43), ducks (16), pigs (22,39), mice (19,41), and humans (20,45), so a Rif r background was unexpected in this study. Rif MIC levels within several Lactobacillus and Pediococcus species have been reported to range between Յ0.016 and 4 g ml Ϫ1 (12,13).…”
