Ingestion of milks fermented by Lactobacillus strains showing probiotic properties is an important tool to maintain gastrointestinal health. In this study, Lactobacillus rhamnosus D1 and Lactobacillus plantarum B7, isolated from Brazilian artisanal cheese, were used as starters for the functional fermented milks to assess their probiotic properties in a gnotobiotic animal model. Male germ-free Swiss mice received a single oral dose of milk fermented by each sample, and were challenged with Salmonella Typhimurium five days afterwards. Milk fermented by both Lactobacillus strains maintained counts above 108 cfu/ml during cold storage. Lactobacillus strains colonised the gut of the germ-free-mice, maintaining their antagonistic effect. This colonisation led to a protective effect against Salmonella challenge, as demonstrated by reduced pathogen translocation and histological lesions, when compared to control group, especially for Lactobacillus rhamnosus D1. Additionally, mRNA expression of inflammatory (interferon gamma, interleukin (IL)-6, tumour necrosis factor alpha) and anti-inflammatory (transforming growth factor β1) cytokines was augmented in animals previously colonised and then challenged, when compared to other experimental groups. Lactobacillus plantarum B7 colonisation also promoted higher expression of IL-17, showing a proper maturation of colonised germ-free-mice immune system. IL-5 was stimulated by both strains’ colonisation and not by S. Typhimurium challenge.

Autophagy is a highly conserved and fundamental cellular process to maintain cellular homeostasis through recycling of defective organelles or proteins. In a response to intracellular pathogens, autophagy further acts as an innate immune response mechanism to eliminate pathogens. This review will discuss recent findings on autophagy as a reaction to intracellular pathogens, such as Salmonella typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Staphylococcus aureus, and pathogenic Escherichia coli. Interestingly, while some of these bacteria have developed methods to use autophagy for their own benefit within the cell, others have developed fascinating mechanisms to evade recognition, to subvert the autophagic pathway, or to escape from autophagy.

La investigación tuvo como objetivos aislar e identificar bacterias lácticas (BAL), evaluar la capacidad probiótica in vitro e in vivo de bacterias lácticas aisladas de chicha de molle, para ello se muestreó chichas de molle elaboradas artesanalmente de las provincias de Huanta y Huamanga, aislando 55 cepas BAL e identificando a Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus maltaromicus y Leuconostoc mesenteroides en base a la coloración Gram, producción de gas, gluconato y fermentación de azúcares. Para evaluar la capacidad probiótica in vitro se realizaron pruebas de antagonismo entre BAL con cuatro microorganismos patógenos (Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Salmonella typhimurium ATCC 14028, Staphylococus aureus ATCC 25923 y Candida albicans ATCC 90028), mostrándose que 14 de las 55 cepas BAL producen sustancias inhibitorias de amplio espectro; asimismo, se evaluó la capacidad de tolerancia a condiciones gastrointestinales de cepas BAL, realizando ensayos a diferentes pHs , diferentes concentraciones de sales biliares y extracto gástrico artificial, resultando 25 cepas BAL con capacidad de tolerancia gastrointestinal y se seleccionaron cuatro cepas con mayor diámetro de halos de inhibición y cepas tolerantes a condiciones gastrointestinales siendo las cepas: BL-1 (Lactobacillus plantarum), BL-26 (Lactobacillus maltaromicus), BL-27 (Lactobacillus plantarum) y BL-53 (Lactobacillus maltaromicus), a las cuales se evaluaron la capacidad probiótica in vivo en 20 ratas para luego realizar recuento de BAL en el intestino a los 21 días, encontrándose en el grupo de estudio con BAL a 60x1019 UFC/ mL, mientras en el tratamiento con BAL más yacón a 25x1024 UFC/mL y los tratamientos de yacón y control a 50x1014 UFC/mL de BAL obteniéndose una de ganancia de peso en ratas en el grupo de estudio de BAL más yacón de 46 g, mientras con bacterias lácticas se tuvo 24 g y 16 g en el grupo control y extracto de yacón. En consecuencia esta investigación demuestra que la toma diaria de bebidas fermentadas tradicionales favorece el incremento de Lactobacillus en la microbiota intestinal.

Initial Contamination

Various fermentation schedules and finishing temperatures used in the summer sausage industry were investigated for their ability to eliminate Salmonella newport or Salmonella typhimurium inoculated into raw ingredients during the formulation phase of production. Summer sausage was produced with and without the aid of a starter culture. Use of the starter culture, a Lactobacillus plantarum strain, provided for a more rapid fermentation and subsequent decrease in pH. Elimination of Salmonella was dependent upon the initial contamination level, serotype involved, rate of fermentation and processing temperature.
