Several strains of phages active against Streptococcus thermophilus and species of Lactobacillus were examined with an electron microscope after negative staining with phospho-tungstic acid or uranyl acetate. S. thermophilus bacteriophage exhibited exceptionally long tails (polytails). The width and structure of the polytail was the same as a normal phage tail, 10 nm, but was 2 to 4 times longer, 480–960 nm. Preparations revealed extensive adsorption of S. thermophilus bacteriophage to broken bacterial cell walls. One strain of S. thermophilus phage had a spherical structure at the posterior end of its tail. The bacteriophages of Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Lactobacillus helveticus had a distinct contractile tail sheath, whereas Lactobacillus lactis phage did not.

Lactobacillus Lactis

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are zoonotic, foodborne pathogens of humans. Ruminants, including sheep, are the primary reservoirs of STEC and there is a need to develop intervention strategies to reduce the entry of STEC into the food chain. The initiation of the majority of bacterial, enteric infections involves colonisation of the gut mucosal surface by the pathogen. However, probiotic bacteria can serve to decrease the severity of infection via a number of mechanisms including competition for receptors and nutrients, and/or the synthesis of organic acids and bacteriocins that create an environment unfavourable for pathogen development. The aim of the current study was to determine whether the administration of a probiotic mixture to sheep experimentally infected with a non-O157 STEC strain, carrying stx1, stx2 and eae genes, was able to decrease faecal shedding of the pathogen. The probiotic mixture contained Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus helveticus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus lactis, Streptococcus thermophilus and Enterococcus faecium. The numbers of non-O157 STEC in faecal samples collected from sheep receiving daily doses of the probiotic mixture were significantly lower at the 3rd, 5th and 6th week post-inoculation when compared to the levels recorded in untreated animals. It was concluded that administration of the probiotic mixture reduced faecal shedding of non-O157 STEC in sheep, and holds potential as a pre-harvest intervention method to reduce transmission to humans.

Frozen Yogurt

O leite de cabra é recomendado para pessoas intolerantes ao leite de vaca e/ou portadoras de desordens gastrintestinais. frozen yogurt elaborado a partir de iogurte de leite de cabra foi acrescido de 1% de prebiótico (inulina), 0,25% de cultura starter (Streptococcus thermophilus e Lactobacillus bulgaricus) e 0,25% de cultura probiótica (Bifidobacterium animalis e Lactobacillus acidophilus) para verificar seu potencial probiótico (após sete e 120 dias de armazenamento), sua qualidade físico-química e sua aceitação sensorial. Durante a estocagem, houve redução de células viáveis da flora microbiana, principalmente dos probióticos. Ainda assim, o produto apresenta potencialidade probiótica pela soma de B. animalis e L. acidophilus atingir o mínimo desejável até o fim do armazenamento. Os valores de extrato seco total (26,6±0,2%), proteína (3,0±0,2), gordura (2,6±0,1%), pH (5,5±0,01) e ácido láctico (0,2±0,01%) encontram-se semelhantes aos relatados em outros trabalhos para o mesmo produto. A avaliação sensorial foi realizada por 50 provadores não treinados em teste com escala hedônica de sete níveis e intenção de compra. O produto recebeu bons escores para aparência global, cor, aroma e sabor; já textura e sabor residual obtiveram menores índices de aceitação. Na intenção de compra, 61% dos avaliadores declararam que comprariam o produto, contra 39% que não comprariam. Nessas condições, demonstra-se a viabilidade de elaboração de frozen yogurt de leite caprino acrescido de pre- e probióticos.

Ad Libitum

Male Swiss mice, implanted with Ehrlich ascites tumor cells, were fed each of the following test materials: fresh bovine colostrum, colostrum cultured with Lactobacillus acidophilus, colostrum cultured with Lactobacillus bulgaricus, colostrum cultured with L. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus, milk cultured with L. acidophilus and milk cultured with L. bulgaricus. Fresh colostrum had no significant effect when fed ad libitum for 7 consecutive days after tumor implantation. Colostrum fermented with L. acidophilus, L. bulgaricus or yogurt culture significantly (P< 0.05) inhibited tumor cell proliferation as indicated by a 16 to 40% decrease in cell counts and a 13 to 35% decrease in DNA synthesis. Similar effects were noted for whole milk fermented with either L. acidophilus or L. bulgaricus.
