Abstract
Inflammation-related diseases are major causes of mortality and disability worldwide. This study aimed to identify and investigate probiotic bacteria that could be present in Al-Asfar Lake in Al-Ahsa City, Saudi Arabia to prevent the inflammatory responses of carrageenan-induced paw edema. In total, seven active strains were isolated, and three isolates (ASF-1, ASF-2, and ASF-3) exhibited a positive Gram stain and viable growth at 20% NaCl salinity; they also lacked catalase and hemolytic activities and had high levels of cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH). They also demonstrated potent antibacterial activity against Salmonella typhi and Staphylococcus aureus. These results revealed that ASF-2 had probiotic qualities, and it was selected for further research. ASF-2 demonstrated significant anti-inflammatory effects in an experimental model of carrageenan-induced paw edema; the experimental model showed decreased levels of pro-inflammatory markers, such as interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 17 (IL-17), and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), and an increased level of an anti-inflammatory marker (interferon gamma (IFN-γ)). Animals in the control group saw a 45% decrease in edema when compared to mice in the carrageenan group. When comparing tissue damage and infiltration in the ASF-2-treated and non-treated mice, the histological examination of the sub-planar tissues of the hind leg revealed that the inflamed tissues had healed. The 16S rRNA sequencing method was utilized to establish that ASF-2 is, in fact, Enterococcus lactis with a 99.2% sequence similarity. These findings shed further light on ASF-2's potential as a biocompatible anti-inflammatory medication.

Development of a microencapsulated probiotic containing Pediococcus acidilactici WU222001 against avian pathogenic Escherichia coli. Vet World 2023; 16:1131-1140. [PMID: 37576777 PMCID: PMC10420709 DOI: 10.14202/vetworld.2023.1131-1140] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2023] [Accepted: 04/19/2023] [Indexed: 08/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Background and Aim Probiotics are beneficial microorganisms for humans and animals. In this study, we developed a microencapsulated probiotic with antibacterial activity against avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC). Materials and Methods Alignment of the 16S rRNA sequences of the isolate WU222001 with those deposited in GenBank revealed that the isolate was Pediococcus acidilactici with 99.6% homology. This bacterium was characterized as a probiotic based on its tolerance toward in vitro gastrointestinal tract (GIT) conditions, hydrophobicity, and auto-aggregation. The antibacterial activity of the probiotic's culture supernatant against APEC was investigated using a broth microdilution assay. Pediococcus acidilactici was microencapsulated using sodium alginate and agar with diameters ranging from 47 to 61 μm. Then, physicochemical characteristics and stability of the microcapsules were determined. Results The isolate was characterized as a probiotic based on its resistance to low pH, bile salts, and pancreatin, with relative values of 79.2%, 70.95%, and 90.64%, respectively. Furthermore, the bacterium exhibited 79.56% auto-aggregation and 55.25% hydrophobicity at 24 h. The probiotic's culture supernatant exhibited strong antibacterial activity against clinical APEC isolates with minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration of 12.5% and 25% v/v, respectively. Microencapsulation-enhanced bacterial viability in GIT compared to free cells. Moreover, 89.65% of the encapsulated cells were released into the simulated intestinal fluid within 4 h. The viable count in microcapsules was 63.19% after 3 months of storage at 4°C. Conclusion The results indicated that the culture supernatant of P. acidilactici inhibited the growth of APEC. In addition, microencapsulation extends the viability of P. acidilactici under harsh conditions, indicating its potential application in the feed production.

Sangyod rice bran extract enhances Lacticaseibacillus paracasei growth during the exponential phase and antibacterial activity of L. paracasei supernatant against zoonotic and foodborne pathogens. Vet World 2022; 15:2466-2474. [DOI: 10.14202/vetworld.2022.2466-2474] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2022] [Accepted: 09/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and Aim: Prebiotics are a group of nutrients or compounds that are degraded by the gut microbiota, including Lacticaseibacillus paracasei. The probiotic plays an important role in adhesion to the gut and is able to produce antimicrobial substances to inhibit pathogens. This study aimed to investigate the effects of Sangyod rice bran extract on the growth promotion of L. paracasei. Furthermore, antibacterial activity of the extract and L. paracasei supernatants cultured in De Man, Rogosa and Sharpe (MRS) medium plus the extract against zoonotic and foodborne pathogens was investigated.
Materials and Methods: Antibacterial activity of the crude extract and the oil from Sangyod rice bran against the pathogens, including Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Avian pathogenic E. coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was investigated using broth microdilution assay. The effects of the crude extract and the oil on the growth and adhesion of L. paracasei were further determined. The antibacterial activity of L. paracasei supernatant cultured in the medium supplemented with the extract and the oil against the pathogens was determined by agar well diffusion assay, followed by the broth microdilution assay. Finally, the chemical constituents and antioxidant activity of the crude extract and the oil from Sangyod rice bran were investigated.
Results: The crude extract and the oil from Sangyod rice bran enhanced L. paracasei growth during the exponential phase. Furthermore, the crude extract at 0.25 mg/mL significantly enhanced the adhesion of L. paracasei to the surface compared with the control. Both minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) values of the crude extract against B. cereus and S. aureus were 0.5 and 1.0 mg/mL, respectively. All pathogens were sensitive to the supernatant of L. paracasei with similar MIC and MBC ranging from 12.5% v/v to 50% v/v. However, the MIC and MBC values of L. paracasei supernatant grown in MRS medium plus the crude extract and oil were not significantly different compared to the supernatant obtained from MRS alone. The crude extract had free radical scavenging activities with IC50 values at 0.61 mg/mL.
Conclusion: The results suggested the potential benefits of the crude extract from Sangyod rice bran for inducing the growth and the adhesion of L. paracasei and inhibiting zoonotic and foodborne pathogens.
