Survival of lactococci during passage through mouse digestive tract

Abstract: One of the important properties of probiotics is the ability to survive in the intestine. There have been few studies on the probiotic property of lactococci, since they are formally not considered to be natural inhabitants of the intestine. To evaluate lactococci as probiotic bacteria, we investigated their ability to survive during gastric transit by in vitro and in vivo tests. When exposed to an in vitro simulated gastrointestinal environment, such as low pH and bile, only Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis b… Show more

“…Probiotics are traditionally defined as viable microorganisms that have beneficial effects in the prevention and treatment of specific pathologic conditions when they are ingested (Fuller, 1989;Lee & Salminen, 1995). One of the important properties of probiotics is their ability to survive in the intestine (Kimoto et al, 2003). Several studies have been published in recent years suggesting that probiotics can reinforce the intestinal mucosal barrier against deleterious agents (Fioramonti et al, 2003).…”

“…However, several works showed the possibility of the presence of lactococci in the flora of the human or animal gastrointestinal tract 7,8,23,40 . In a previous study 18 , the ability of a Lactococcus strain to pass through the gastrointestinal tract after administration to mice was examined by using an antibiotic method. Strains N7 and Lb.…”

“…It was reported that a Lactococcus strain administered to mice inhibited harmful intestinal bacteria 7 . Strain N7 that had cholesterolremoving ability had an antimicrobial activity to some intestinal bacteria 16 and had the ability to survive in the intestine 18 . Thus, strain N7 might influence the intestinal microbiota.…”
