Here, we have analysed and explored the genome sequences of three newly isolated bacteria that were recently characterised for their probiotic activities and ability to produce bacteriocins. These strains, isolated from faeces of animals living in captivity at the zoological garden of Lille (France), are Escherichia coli ICVB443, Enterococcus faecalis ICVB501 and Pediococcus pentosaceus ICVB491. Their genomes have been analysed and compared to those of their pathogenic or probiotic counterparts.

- A study evaluated several strains of bacteria, including different E. coli and Enterococcus faecalis strains, for their probiotic potential and safety.
- Except for one E. coli strain, all others formed biofilms, showed sensitivity to most antibiotics, and were not harmful to pig intestinal cells.
- Notably, one strain, P. pentosaceus ICVB491, inhibited the growth of the other strains, while E. coli ICVB443 demonstrated the highest survival rate in a human digestive system model, indicating these strains may work well together as a probiotic consortium in animal studies.
This study aimed at exploring droppings of animals living in captivity in the zoological garden (Zoo) of Lille (France), as novel sources of bacteriocinogenic strains. A collection of 295 bacterial isolates was constituted from droppings of capybara, alpaca, muntjac, zebra, tapir, rhinoceros, binturong, armadillo, saki monkey and cockatoo. Of 295 isolates, 51 exhibited antagonism against a panel of pathogenic target bacteria like Escherichia coli MC4100, Clostridium perfringens DSM 756 and Salmonella enterica subsp.
