Bioprotective cultures and bacteriocins as food preservatives.

Food preservation technologies face the challenge of extending product shelf life applying different factors to prevent the microbiological spoilage of food and inhibit/inactivate food borne pathogens maintaining or even enhancing its quality. One such preservation strategy is the application of bacteriocins or bacteriocin-producer cultures as a kind of food biopreservation. Bacteriocins are ribosomally synthesized small polypeptide molecules that exert antagonistic activity against closely related and unrelated bacteria without harming the producing strain by specific immunity proteins.

A multi-strain probiotic promoted recovery of puppies from gastroenteritis in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study.

Bioprotective Lactic Acid Bacteria and Lactic Acid as a Sustainable Strategy to Combat O157:H7 in Meat.

Human infection by Enterohemorrhagic (EHEC) constitutes a serious threat to public health and a major concern for the meat industry. Presently, consumers require safer/healthier foods with minimal chemical additives, highlighting the need for sustainable solutions to limit and prevent risks. This work evaluated the ability of two antagonistic lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains, CRL681 and CRL35, and their combination in order to inhibit EHEC in beef (ground and vacuum sealed meat discs) at 8 °C during 72 h.

Flavonoids and Phenylethylamides Are Pivotal Factors Affecting the Antimicrobial Properties of Stingless Bee Honey.

Despite the recent approval of stingless bee honey to the Argentine Food Code, there are still many gaps in information. Likely, the main reason for this is that multiple ecological and chemical factors influence their production and antimicrobial properties. This work combined metabolomic, microbiological, and physicochemical analyses to characterize the honey offrom Northeastern Argentina.

Administration of probiotic lactic acid bacteria to modulate fecal microbiome in feedlot cattle.

Modulation of animal gut microbiota is a prominent function of probiotics to improve the health and performance of livestock. In this study, a large-scale survey to evaluate the effect of lactic acid bacteria probiotics on shaping the fecal bacterial community structure of feedlot cattle during three experimental periods of the fattening cycle (163 days) was performed. A commercial feedlot located in northwestern Argentina was enrolled with cattle fed mixed rations (forage and increasing grain diet) and a convenience-experimental design was conducted.

Postinfarction Ventricular Septal Rupture: Identification of the Failure Mechanism of a Percutaneous Closure Procedure.

Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is a rare but highly lethal (∼60%) mechanical complication of myocardial infarction (MI). Although surgical repair has been the gold standard to correct the structural anomaly, percutaneous closure of the defect may represent a valuable therapeutic alternative, with the advantage of immediate shunt reduction to prevent further hemodynamic deterioration in patients with prohibitive surgical risk. Nonetheless, catheter-based VSR closure has faced certain drawbacks that have hampered its application.

Inhibition of a spoilage exopolysaccharide producer by bioprotective extracts from Lactobacillus acidophilus CRL641 and Latilactobacillus curvatus CRL705 in vacuum-packaged refrigerated meat discs.

The effect of bioprotective extracts (BEs) from Lactobacillus acidophilus CRL641 (BE-1) and Latilactobacillus curvatus CRL705 (BE-2) against the exopolysaccharide producer Latilactobacillus sakei CRL1407 in vacuum-packaged meat discs at 4 °C was evaluated. Lat. sakei CRL1407 was able to grow in control samples from 2.

Bioprotective extracts from Lactobacillus acidophilus CRL641 and Latilactobacillus curvatus CRL705 inhibit a spoilage exopolysaccharide producer in a refrigerated meat system.

The effect of bioprotective extracts (BEs) from Latilactobacillus curvatus CRL705 and Lactobacillus acidophilus CRL641 against Latilactobacillus sakei CRL1407 was evaluated in a refrigerated meat model system under vacuum and aerobic conditions at 4 and 10 °C. As shown by culturing, the BE-1 from L. acidophilus completely inhibited the spoilage strain, while that from Lat.

Proteomic Analysis of FBUNT During Biofilm Formation at 10°C in Response to Lactocin AL705.

is one of the major food-related pathogens and is able to survive and multiply under different stress conditions. Its persistence in industrial premises and foods is partially due to its ability to form biofilm. Thus, as a natural strategy to overcome biofilm formation, the treatment with lactocin AL705 using a sublethal dose (20AU/ml) was explored.

Hydrolysis of raw fish proteins extracts by strains isolated from Argentinean freshwater fish.

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from freshwater fish (hatcheries and captures) from Paraná river (Argentina) were analyzed by using culture-dependent approaches. The species belonging to (.) , .

The Ability of Riboflavin-Overproducing Strains to Survive Under Gastrointestinal Conditions.

Riboflavin, vitamin B2, is essential for humans and has to be obtained from the diet. Some lactic acid bacteria (LAB) produce this vitamin, and they can be used for fortification of foods. This could be an alternative to supplementation with chemically synthesized vitamin, to palliate riboflavin deficiencies in specific groups of people.

Evaluation of the Immunomodulatory Ability of Lactic Acid Bacteria Isolated from Feedlot Cattle Against Mastitis Using a Bovine Mammary Epithelial Cells In Vitro Assay.

Bovine mastitis, the inflammation of the mammary gland, affects the quality and quantity of milk yield. Mastitis control relies on single or multiple combinations of antibiotic therapy. Due to increasing antibiotic resistance in pathogens, the intramammary infusion of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) has been considered as a potential alternative to antibiotics for treating and preventing bovine mastitis through the improvement of the host immunity.

Modulation of Toll-like receptor-mediated innate immunity in bovine intestinal epithelial cells by lactic acid bacteria isolated from feedlot cattle.

The ability of lactobacilli isolated from feedlot cattle environment to differentially modulate the innate immune response triggered by Toll-like receptors (TLRs) activation in bovine intestinal epithelial (BIE) cells was evaluated. BIE cells were stimulated with CRL2069, CRL2074, CRL2085 or CRL2084 and challenged with heat-stable pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) from enterotoxigenic (ETEC) to induce the activation of TLR4 or with polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly(I:C)) to activate TLR3. Type I interferons, cytokines, chemokines and negative regulators of TLR signalling were studied by RT-PCR.

Biodiversity and technological-functional potential of lactic acid bacteria isolated from spontaneously fermented chia sourdough.

Chia, is a gluten-free, rich in proteins, oilseed that is "on trend" as an alternative ingredient in food production, adding nutritional value. As a reservoir of natural biodiversity, lactic acid bacteria development, during spontaneous chia flour fermentation (sourdough) for 10 days, were investigated by culturing and high throughput sequencing (HTS). Culture-dependent analysis showed a rapid increase in total LAB numbers from the second day of sourdough refreshment.

Physiological and proteomic response of Escherichia coli O157:H7 to a bioprotective lactic acid bacterium in a meat environment.

Mechanistically Inspired Kinetic Approach to Describe Interactions During Co-Culture Growth of Carnobacterium maltaromaticum and Listeria monocytogenes.

Lactic acid bacteria and Listeria monocytogenes are psychotropic organisms that can grow and compete in food such as lightly preserved fishery products. Predictive microbiology is nowadays one of the leading tools to assess the behavior of bacteria in food and to predict food spoilage. Mathematical models can be used to predict the growth, inactivation or growth probability of bacteria.
