The present study evaluates the probiotic properties of three Lactobacillus plantarum strains MJM60319, MJM60298, and MJM60399 possessing antimicrobial activity against animal enteric pathogens. The three strains did not show bioamine production, mucinolytic and hemolytic activity and were susceptible to common antibiotics. The L. plantarum strains survived well in the simulated orogastrointestinal transit condition and showed adherence to Caco-2 cells in vitro. The L. plantarum strains showed strong antimicrobial activity against enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, Shiga toxin-producing E. coli, Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium, Choleraesuis and Gallinarum compared to the commercial probiotic strain Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG. The mechanism of antimicrobial activity of the L. plantarum strains appeared to be by the production of lactic acid. Furthermore, the L. plantarum strains tolerated freeze-drying and maintained higher viability in the presence of cryoprotectants than without cryoprotectants. Finally, the three L. plantarum strains tolerated NaCl up to 8% and maintained >60% growth. These characteristics of the three L. plantarum strains indicate that they could be applied as animal probiotic after appropriate in vivo studies.  相似文献

Gut microbiota remains a prominent source for a diverse range of potential probiotics. In this context, the current study explored the rectal region of experimental Wistar rat for the isolation of potent probiotic. Sixteen lactic acid bacteria (LAB), from rectal swab of Wistar rats, were subjected to evaluation of probiotic properties. Among all, AG5 was found unique with consistent probiotic properties and was further identified as Enterococcus faecalis AG5 (NCBI accession number KT248537) using 16S rDNA sequencing, followed by BLAST analysis. Since the Enterococci strains inhibit various food-borne pathogens efficiently while proving itself as a safe probiotic candidate, the study further evaluated the safety of the strain AG5 using primer specific PCR amplification which revealed the existence of gene encoding gelE, asa1, efaA, ace, vanA, and vanB and negative for cylA, hyl, and esp respectively. SEM analysis confirmed the adherence ability of AG5 to HCT 116 cells. Adherence was found to be non-colonial and scattered manner. Furthermore, the strain demonstrated a significant survivability during simulated gastrointestinal transit. Taken together, the E. faecalis AG5 was found potential probiotic candidate with future implication in both food and health industry.  相似文献

In this study, 23 Debaryomyces hansenii strains, isolated from cheese and fish gut, were investigated in vitro for potential probiotic properties i.e. (1) survival under in vitro GI (gastrointestinal) conditions with different oxygen levels, (2) adhesion to Caco-2 intestinal epithelial cells and mucin, and (3) modulation of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine secretion by human monocyte-derived dendritic cells. As references two commercially available probiotic Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii (S. boulardii) strains were included in the study. Our results demonstrate that the different D. hansenii yeast strains had very diverse properties which could potentially lead to different probiotic effects. One strain of D. hansenii (DI 09) was capable of surviving GI stress conditions, although not to the same degree as the S. boulardii strains. This DI 09 strain, however, adhered more strongly to Caco-2 cells and mucin than the S. boulardii strains. Additionally, two D. hansenii strains (DI 10 and DI 15) elicited a higher IL-10/IL-12 ratio than the S. boulardii strains, indicating a higher anti-inflammatory effects on human dendritic cells. Finally, one strain of D. hansenii (DI 02) was evaluated as the best probiotic candidate because of its outstanding ability to survive the GI stresses, to adhere to Caco-2 cells and mucin and to induce a high IL-10/IL-12 ratio. In conclusion, this study shows that strains of D. hansenii may offer promising probiotic traits relevant for further study.  相似文献

Traditionally, probiotics are linked to the good health of the intestine and most clinical studies focus on that field. Evidence of oral probiotic use for ear and oral cavity disease prevention with impact on human health is limited. This work reviews existing studies and literature on Streptococcus salivarius K12 as an oral probiotic and effects of S. salivarius K12 on human ear and oral cavity human health. The studies were accessed via database searches: MEDLINE, PubMed, and Elsevier. The search included/focused on/encompassed publications from 2003 to 2016 with keywords related to K12 Streptococcus salivarius, bacteriocin-like inhibitory substances (BLIS) K12, probiotic K12 salivarius, and K12 probiotic health effects. Only a small amount of studies was identified: the total of 68 studies was identified, 35 of which were relevant after screening, and 9 were included in the final analysis. Very little literature is available about the association/correlation between/connection/interrelation of S. salivarius K12 with/and human ear and oral cavity health. S. salivarius K12 may have a role in reducing the occurrence and/or severity of secretory otitis media (SOM) and also in prevention of streptococcal and viral pharyngotonsillitis in children. Research highlights that S. salivarius K12 has shown promising results in treatment of halitosis, but data are still deficient. Further studies need to be initiated to improve understanding of the association of oral probiotic S. salivarius K12 with human ear and oral cavity health.  相似文献

Several studies have demonstrated a diversity of bacterial species in human milk, even in aseptically collected samples. The present study evaluated potential probiotic bacteria isolated from human milk and associated maternal variables. Milk samples were collected from 47 healthy women and cultured on selective and universal agar media under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Bacterial isolates were counted and identified by Biotyper Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization–Time of Flight mass spectrometry and then tested for probiotic properties. Total bacteria in human milk ranged from 1.5 to 4.0 log10 CFU/mL. The higher bacterial counts were found in colostrum (mean = 3.9 log10 CFU/mL, 95% CI 3.14–4.22, p = 0.00001). The most abundant species was Staphylococcus epidermidis (n = 76). The potential probiotic candidates were Lactobacillus gasseri (n = 4), Bifidobacterium breve (n = 1), and Streptococcus salivarius (n = 4). Despite the small sample size, L. gasseri was isolated only in breast milk from mothers classified into a normal weight range and after a vaginally delivered partum. No potential probiotics showed antagonism against pathogens, but all of them agglutinated different pathogens. Nine bacterial isolates belonging to the species L. gasseri, B. breve, and S. salivarius were selected as potential probiotics. The present study confirms the presence in breast milk of a bacterial microbiota that could be the source of potential probiotic candidates to be used in the formula of simulated maternal milk.  相似文献

Lactuca indica L. (Compositae) has been used as a folk medicine for the treatment of intestinal disorders. Phytochemical constituents of L. indica were investigated, and their antioxidant and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities thoroughly studied. A phytochemical investigation of the aerial parts of L. indica resulted in the isolation and identification of eight phenolic compounds. The structures of the compounds were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic evidence as apigenin, luteolin, isoquercitrin, chlorogenic acid, protocatechuic acid, p-hydroxymethyl benzoic acid, trans-cinnamic acid, and p-coumaric acid. Luteolin, isoquercitrin, chlorogenic acid, and p-hydroxymethyl benzoic acid showed antioxidant activities with IC50 values in the range of 35.5–52.5 μM. In addition, apigenin and luteolin showed α-glucosidase inhibition activities with IC50 values of 96.4 and 100.7 μM, respectively. These findings strongly suggest that L. indica is a potential source of natural antioxidants and/or anti-diabetic agents in pharmaceutical and health functional foods.  相似文献

To identify and investigate the role of surface layer proteins (SLPs) on the probiotic properties of Lactobacillus strains, SLPs were extracted from Lactobacillus bulgaricus fb04, L. rhamnosus fb06, L. gasseri fb07, and L. acidophilus NCFM by 5 mol/L lithium chloride. The molecular masses of the four SLPs were approximately 45–47 kDa as analyzed by SDS-PAGE. Hydrophobic amino acids were the main components of the four SLPs. The secondary structure content of the four SLPs showed extensive variability among different strains. After the SLPs were removed from the cell surface, the autoaggregation ability, coaggregation ability, and gastrointestinal tolerability of the four lactobacilli were significantly reduced as compared with the intact cells (P?<?0.05). When exposed to bile salt stress, L. rhamnosus fb06, L. gasseri fb07, and L. acidophilus NCFM expressed more SLPs as determined by Bradford method. In conclusion, the four lactobacilli all possessed functional SLPs, which had positive contributions to the probiotic properties of the four Lactobacillus strains. This research could reveal the biological contributions of SLPs from Lactobacillus strains and offer a theoretical basis for the application of lactobacilli and their SLPs in food and pharmaceutical industries.  相似文献

The essential oil (EO) obtained from the fresh and dried leaves of Cinnamomum tamala was analysed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. EO from fresh leaves showed the presence of 21 compounds, whereas, EO from the dried leaves of C. tamala showed the presence of 20 compounds. In vitro assays namely scavenging ability against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, reducing power and chelating ability on Fe2+ ions were used to determine the antioxidant potential of EO of C. tamala. With regard to antifungal activity, EO from dried leaves was more effective against Alternaria alternata and Curvularia lunata than the EO from fresh leaves. Similarly, EO from C. tamala leaves also showed potent antibacterial activity against two Gram negative and two Gram positive bacteria namely, Bacillus subtilis, Micrococcus luteus, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Furthermore, bioactive molecule from C. tamala EO having antifungal and antioxidant activity was isolated and characterized using bioautography, preparative thin layer chromatography and GC/MS analysis and was determined as eugenol. Its minimum inhibitory amount against A. alternata and C. lunata was determined using bioautography assay and was found to be 9.5 and 8.2 µg respectively.  相似文献

The objective of the present studies was systematic development of floating-bioadhesive gastroretentive tablets of cefuroxime axetil employing rational blend of hydrophilic polymers for attaining controlled release drug delivery. As per the QbD-based approach, the patient-centric target product profile and quality attributes of tablet were earmarked, and preliminary studies were conducted for screening the suitability of type of polymers, polymer ratio, granulation technique, and granulation time for formulation of tablets. A face-centered cubic design (FCCD) was employed for optimization of the critical material attributes, i.e., concentration of release controlling polymers, PEO 303 and HPMC K100 LV CR, and evaluating in vitro buoyancy, drug release, and ex vivo mucoadhesion strength. The optimized formulation was embarked upon through numerical optimization, which yield excellent floatation characteristic with drug release control (i.e., T 60%?>?6 h) and bioadhesion strength. Drug-excipient compatibility studies through FTIR and P-XRD revealed the absence of any interaction between the drug and polymers. In vivo evaluation of the gastroretentive characteristics through X-ray imaging and in vivo pharmacokinetic studies in rabbits revealed significant extension in the rate of drug absorption (i.e., T max, K a, and MRT) from the optimized tablet formulation as compared to the marketed formulation. Successful establishment of various levels of in vitro/in vivo correlations (IVIVC) substantiated high degree of prognostic ability of in vitro dissolution conditions in predicting the in vivo performance. In a nutshell, the studies demonstrate successful development of the once-a-day gastroretentive formulations of cefuroxime axetil with controlled drug release profile and improved compliance.  相似文献

In this paper, we characterized a differentially expressed receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase XCRK, which confers resistance to bacterial leaf streak (BLS). We analyzed the tissue expression of XCRK and showed that XCRK was widely expressed in multiple rice (Oryza sativa) organs, including internodes, roots, leaves and flowers. In addition, the expression of XCRK was significantly induced by ABA, salt and H2O2 treatments, suggesting its function in these pathways. The XCRK-overexpressing transgenic seedlings exhibited higher tolerance to Xanthomonas oryzae pv.oryzicola (Xoc) compared with the wild-type seedlings. Furthermore, XCRK-overexpressing seedlings showed stronger antioxidant capacity with reduced MDA and H2O2 content and higher antioxidant enzyme activities. It has been hypothesized that the enhanced Xoc tolerance was attributed to the improved expression of resistance-responsive factors positively regulated by XCRK. In accordance with this, the expression of resistance and oxidation-related genes Wrky77, Wrky13, PAL1, PR5, Fe-SOD and SodCc2 were up-regulated by the overexpression of XCRK, which might contribute collectively to the increased Xoc tolerance. Overall, overexpression of XCRK could enhance the antioxidant capacity and Xoc tolerance in rice.  相似文献

Optimization of a lyophilized fast-disintegrating tablet (LFDT) formulation containing naratriptan hydrochloride, an antimigraine drug, was the foremost objective of the study, aiming in achieving fast headache pain relief. The Design-Expert® v10 software was used to generate formulations using D-optimal mixture design with four components: gelatin (X1), hydrolyzed gelatin (X2), glycine (X3), and mannitol (X4) of total solid material (TSM) w/w. The effect of the relative proportion of each component was determined on friability (Y1), hardness (Y2), and in vitro disintegration time (Y3), which was then applied for formulation optimization. In addition, their effect on tablet porosity was determined via scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Drug-excipient interaction was evaluated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). A comparative dissolution study against the conventional tablets was studied. Accelerated stability study was carried out in (Al/Al) and (Al/PVC) blister packs. An in vivo pharmacokinetic study was carried out to compare the optimized formulation and the conventional tablets. The optimized formulation’s responses were 0.30%, 3.4 kg, and 6.12 s for Y1, Y2, and Y3, respectively. No drug-excipient interaction was specified via DSC. The optimized formulation exhibited porous structure as determined via SEM. Dissolution study demonstrated complete dissolution within 1.5 min. Study indicated stability for 78 months in (Al/Al) blister packs. In vivo pharmacokinetic study demonstrated that Cmax, AUClast, and AUCinf were significantly higher for the developed formulation. As well, the Tmax was 1 h earlier than that of convenient tablet. An LFDT would achieve a faster onset of action for naratriptan compared to other formulations.  相似文献

The objective of this study comprises of developing novel co-spray dried rifampicin phospholipid lipospheres (SDRPL) to investigate its influence on rifampicin solubility and oral bioavailability. Solid-state techniques were employed to characterize the liposphere formulation. SDRPL solubility was determined in distilled water. BACTEC 460TB System was employed to evaluate SDRPL antimycobacterial activity. The oral bioavailability of the lipospheres was evaluated in Sprague Dawley rats. Lipospheres exhibited amorphous, smooth spherical morphology with a significant increase (p?<?0.001) in solubility of SDRPL (2:1), 350.9?±?23 versus 105.1?±?12 μg/ml and SDRPL (1:1) 306.4?±?20 versus 105.1?±?12 μg/ml in comparison to rifampicin (RMP). SDRPL exhibited enhanced activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, H37Rv strain, with over twofolds less minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) than the free drug. Lipospheres exhibited higher peak plasma concentration (109.92?±?25 versus 54.31?±?18 μg/ml), faster T max (two versus four hours), and enhanced area under the curve (AUC0–∞) (406.92?±?18 versus 147.72?±?15 μg h/L) in comparison to pure RMP. Thus, SDRPL represents a promising carrier system exhibiting enhanced antimycobacterial activity and oral bioavailability of rifampicin.  相似文献

The objective of this study was to prepare and evaluate terbutaline sulphate (TBS) bi-layer tablets for once-daily administration. The bi-layer tablets consisted of an immediate-release layer and a sustained-release layer containing 5 and 10 mg TBS, respectively. The sustained-release layer was developed by using Compritol®888 ATO, Precirol® ATO 5, stearic acid, and tristearin, separately, as slowly eroding lipid matrices. A full 4?×?22 factorial design was employed for optimization of the sustained-release layer and to explore the effect of lipid type (X 1), drug–lipid ratio (X 2), and filler type (X 3) on the percentage drug released at 8, 12, and 24 h (Y 1, Y 2, and Y 3) as dependent variables. Sixteen TBS sustained-release matrices (F1–F16) were prepared by melt solid dispersion method. None of the prepared matrices achieved the targeted release profile. However, F2 that showed a relatively promising drug release was subjected to trial and error optimization for the filler composition to develop two optimized matrices (F17 and F18). F18 which consisted of drug–Compritol®888 ATO at ratio (1:6 w/w) and Avicel PH 101/dibasic calcium phosphate mixture of 2:1 (w/w) was selected as sustained-release layer. TBS bi-layer tablets were evaluated for their physical properties, in vitro drug release, effect of storage on drug content, and in vivo performance in rabbits. The bi-layer tablets showed acceptable physical properties and release characteristics. In vivo absorption in rabbits revealed initial high TBS plasma levels followed by sustained levels over 24 h compared to immediate-release tablets.  相似文献

Three hundred and sixty presumptive lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from pregnant sows, newborn, suckling, and weaned piglets were preliminarily screened for anti-Salmonella activity. Fifty-eight isolates consisting of Lactobacillus reuteri (n = 32), Lactobacillus salivarius (n = 10), Lactobacillus mucosae (n = 8), Lactobacillus johnsonii (n = 5), and Lactobacillus crispatus (n = 3) were selected and further characterized for probiotic properties including production of antimicrobial substances, acid and bile tolerance, and cell adherence to Caco-2 cells. Eight isolates including Lact. johnsonii LJ202 and Lact. reuteri LR108 were identified as potential probiotics. LJ202 was selected for further use in co-culture studies of two-bacterial and multiple-bacterial species to examine its inhibitory activity against Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis DMST7106 (SE7106). Co-culture of LJ202 and SE7106 showed that LJ202 could completely inhibit the growth of SE7106 in 10 h of co-culture. In co-culture of multiple-bacterial species, culturable fecal bacteria from pig feces were used as representative of multiple-bacterial species. The study was performed to examine whether interactions among multiple-bacterial species would influence antagonistic activity of LJ202 against SE7106 and fecal coliform bacteria. Co-culture of SE7106 with different combinations of fecal bacteria and probiotic (LJ202 and LR108) or non-probiotic (Lact. mucosae LM303) strains revealed that the growth of SE7106 was completely inhibited either in the presence or in the absence of probiotic strains. Intriguingly, LJ202 exhibited notable inhibitory activity against fecal coliform bacteria while LR108 did not. Taken together, the results of co-culture studies suggested that LJ202 is a good probiotic candidate for further study its inhibitory effects against pathogen infections in pigs.  相似文献

The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of three eco-friendly control agents, either singly or in a pairwise combination, for the control of the tomato leafminer, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lep: Gelechiidae). They include the naturally derived pesticide spinosad, a commercially available formulation of Bacillus thuringiensis var. Kurstaki (Bt), and a native population of Trichogramma brassicae Bezdenko (Hym: Trichogrammatidae). Tomato plants containing the T. absoluta were treated with one of the seven following treatments in a greenhouse: (1) a single release of T. brassicae against the eggs; (2) two applications of Bt (2 kg ha?1); (3) and (4) one application of spinosad at two rates (60 and 120 g a.i. ha?1); (5) T. brassicae release?+?Bt spray; (6) T. brassicae release?+?spinosad spray; and (7) spinosad spray?+?Bt spray. The highest mortality rate was recorded for the spinosad?+?Bt (88.33?±?1.43%) and T. brassicae?+?spinosad (78.33?±?3.74%) combinations, respectively; while the lowest mortality rate was obtained through the single application of T. brassicae (31.67?±?4.84%). Based on our results, the Bt and spinosad seem to be suitable candidates for combination with other biological and cultural techniques towards an integrated management of the tomato leafminer.  相似文献

Bacterial species of Bacillus, Lactobacillus, and Bifidobacterium in the intestinal tract have been used as probiotics. Selections for probiotic candidates by the culture-based approaches are time-consuming and labor-consuming. The aim of this study was to develop a new method based on sequencing strategies to select the probiotic Bacillus, Lactobacillus, and Bifidobacterium. The Illumina-based sequencing strategies with different specific primers for Bacillus, Clostridium, and Bifidobacterium were applied to analyze diversity of the genera in goat feces. The average number of different Bacillus, Clostridium, and Bifidobacterium OTUs (operational taxonomic units) at the 97% similarity level ranged from 1922 to 63172. The coverage index values of Bacillus, Clostridium, and Bifidobacterium calculated from the bacterial OTUs were 0.89, 0.99, and 1.00, respectively. The most genera of Bacillus (37.9%), Clostridium (53%), and Bifidobacterium (99%) were detected in goat feces by the Illumina-based sequencing with the specific primers of the genera, respectively. Higher phylogenetic resolutions of the genera in goat feces were successfully established. The results suggest that the selection for probiotic Bacillus, Clostridium, and Bifidobacterium based on the Illumina sequencing with their specific primers is reliable and feasible, and the core Bacillus, Clostridium, and Bifidobacterium species of healthy goats possess the potentials as probiotic microbial consortia.  相似文献

Nine wild Lactobacillus strains, namely Lactobacillus plantarum 53, Lactobacillus fermentum 56, L. fermentum 60, Lactobacillus paracasei 106, L. fermentum 250, L. fermentum 263, L. fermentum 139, L. fermentum 141, and L. fermentum 296, isolated from fruit processing by-products were evaluated in vitro for a series of safety, physiological functionality, and technological properties that could enable their use as probiotics. Considering the safety aspects, the resistance to antibiotics varied among the examined strains, and none of the strains presented hemolytic and mucinolytic activity. Regarding the physiological functionality properties, none of the strains were able to deconjugate bile salts; all of them presented low to moderate cell hydrophobicity and were able to autoaggregate, coaggregate with Listeria monocytogenes and Escherichia coli, and antagonize pathogenic bacteria. Exposure to pH 2 sharply decreased the survival of the examined strains after 1- or 2-h exposure; variable decreases were noted after 3-h exposure to pH 3. Overall, exposure to pH 5 and to bile salts (0.15, 0.3, and 1%) did not decrease the strains’ survival. Examined strains presented better ability to survive from the exposure to simulated gastrointestinal conditions in laboratorial media and milk than in grape juice. Considering the technological properties, all the strains were positive for proteolytic activity and EPS and diacetyl production, and most of them had good tolerance to 1–4% NaCl. These results indicate that wild Lactobacillus strains isolated from fruit processing by-products could present performance compatible with probiotic properties and technological features that enable the development of probiotic foods with distinct characteristics.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Lactobacillus rhamnosus IMC 501® and Lactobacillus paracasei IMC 502® on oxidative stress in athletes during a four-week period of intense physical activity. Two groups of twelve subjects each were selected for this analysis. The first group consumed a daily dose of a mixture of the two probiotic strains (1:1 L. rhamnosus IMC 501® and L. paracasei IMC 502®; ~109 cells/day) for 4 weeks. The second group (control) did not consume any supplements during the 4 weeks. Blood samples collected immediately before and after the supplementation were analyzed, and plasma levels of reactive oxygen metabolites and biological antioxidant potential were determined. Faeces were also collected and analyzed before and at the end of the probiotic supplementation. Antioxidative activity and oxidative stress resistance of the two strains were determined in vitro. Results demonstrated that intense physical activity induced oxidative stress and that probiotic supplementation increased plasma antioxidant levels, thus neutralizing reactive oxygen species. The two strains, L. rhamnosus IMC 501® and L. paracasei IMC 502®, exert strong antioxidant activity. Athletes and all those exposed to oxidative stress may benefit from the ability of these probiotics to increase antioxidant levels and neutralize the effects of reactive oxygen species.  相似文献
