ABSTRACT A cross-sectional study on intestinal microbiota composition was performed 230 healthy subjects at four European locations in France, Germany, Italy, and Sweden. The participants were assigned to two age groups: 20 50 years (mean age, 35 years; n = 85) >60 75 145). set of 14 group- species-specific 16S rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes applied the analysis fecal samples by fluorescence situ hybridization coupled with flow cytometry. Marked country-age interactions observed for...

Probiotic lactobacilli have a great potential to produce antimicrobial compounds that inhibit and control the microbial pathogen growth. The antifungal activities of two probiotic strains, Lactobacillus rhamnosus IMC 501(®) paracasei 502(®) , their 1 : combination, named SYNBIO(®) were studied using four different methods.Using modified streak methods well diffusion method, inhibitory activity probiotics metabolites towards six Gram-positive, nine Gram-negative pathogenic bacterial strains...

The types and methods of use antibiotics in poultry farms Cameroon, residual levels potential microbial resistance were determined. A questionnaire-based survey identified the different used high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was to determine antibiotics. Pathogens isolated, by commercial API kits minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) Oxytetracyclin, tylocip TCN (oxytetracycline, chloramphenicol neomycin) most frequently Antibiotics screened HPLC chloramphenicol, tetracycline...

The functional food industry requires an improvement of probiotic strain stability during storage, especially when they are stored at room temperature. In this study, the viability freeze-dried Lactobacillus rhamnosus IMC 501(®) and paracasei 502(®) using different protective agents (i.e., glycerine, mannitol, sorbitol, inulin, dextrin, Crystalean(®)) was determined compared with semi skimmed milk (SSM) control. No significant differences were observed between tested protectants control...

To test different Lactobacillus strains for their antipathogenic activity towards Candida and adhesion properties the preparation of vaginal ovules douches to be used in candidiasis prevention. Five lactobacilli were tested antimicrobial potential against clinically isolated strains. They also screened ability produce hydrogen peroxide coaggregate with pathogens. Adhesion five HeLa cells presence arcA gene assessed. The vitro experiments demonstrated that all possessed inhibitory action...

Many environmental aspects influence the preservation of a beneficial microbiome in dogs, and gut dysbiosis occurs when imbalances intestinal ecosystem cause functional changes microbial populations. The authors evaluated effects two specific commercial dietary supplements: combination postbiotic prebiotics (Microbiotal cane®) probiotic product (NBF 1®) recommended for counteracting on canine microbiota composition its metabolic activities (production short-chain fatty acids). investigation...

Growing interests in replacing conventional preservatives and antibiotics food pharmaceutical industries have driven the exploration of bacterial metabolites, especially those from strains with generally recognized as safe (GRAS) status, such lactic acid bacteria (LAB). In this study, a supernatant cocktail derived multiple LAB was prepared its bioactivities—antimicrobial, antibiofilm, antioxidant, cytotoxicity, stability—were thoroughly investigated. The cocktail's main components were...
