The aim of the study was to use lactic acid bacteria (LAB), as probiotic, to treat growth and adhesion property of Proteus mirabilis isolated from patients suffering from urinary tract infection (UTI). For this purpose, one P. mirabilis isolate (P.M.9) was selected out of 9 isolates obtained from 150 urine specimens. Due to its resistance to 11 antibiotics tested, this isolate was treated with three-fold concentrated filtrates of two lactobacillus isolates (as probiotic). Results after treatment, showed that the filtrates exhibited significant inhibitory effect against the pathogenic P.M.9 and its adhesion property especially when only an average of 3-10 bacteria /cell were adhered to each epithelial cell compared to 44-55 bacteria/cell.

Fermented Dairy

With rapidly ageing populations, the world is experiencing unsustainable healthcare from chronic diseases such as metabolic, cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, and cancer disorders. Healthy diet and lifestyle might contribute to prevent these diseases and potentially enhance health outcomes in patients during and after therapy. Fermented dairy foods (FDFs) found their origin concurrently with human civilization for increasing milk shelf-life and enhancing sensorial attributes. Although the probiotic concept has been developed more recently, FDFs, such as milks and yoghurt, have been unconsciously associated with health-promoting effects since ancient times. These health benefits rely not only on the occurrence of fermentation-associated live microbes (mainly lactic acid bacteria; LAB), but also on the pro-health molecules (PHMs) mostly derived from microbial conversion of food compounds. Therefore, there is a renaissance of interest toward traditional fermented food as a reservoir of novel microbes producing PHMs, and “hyperfoods” can be tailored to deliver these healthy molecules to humans. In FDFs, the main PHMs are bioactive peptides (BPs) released from milk proteins by microbial proteolysis. BPs display a pattern of biofunctions such as anti-hypertensive, antioxidant, immuno-modulatory, and anti-microbial activities. Here, we summarized the BPs most frequently encountered in dairy food and their biological activities; we reviewed the main studies exploring the potential of dairy microbiota to release BPs; and delineated the main effectors of the proteolytic LAB systems responsible for BPs release.
