A simple technique to detect Klebsiella biofilm-forming-strains. Inhibitory potential of Lactobacillus fermentum CRL 1058 whole cells and products

چکیده
Klebsiella is one of the pathogens able to form biofilm and then to produce Catheter Associated Infections (CAI). The capability to form biofilm can be considered as a virulence factor. Lactobacilli are included into the potential protective microorganisms to be used for bacteriotherapy to prevent CAI and Urinary tract Infections (UTI). The aim of this work was to isolate Klebsiella strains from CAI and UTI, and to set up a simple technique to detect the biofilm-forming strains in polystyrene microplates by using a spectrophometric assay. Also, to study the kinetics of biofilm formation, supported by standard microbiological assays. Lactobacillus fermentum CRL 1058 whole cells, acid and neutralized supernatants were tested for their inhibitory potential against one biofilm-forming Klebsiella pneumoniae subsp pneumoniae strain selected. The results show that the microplate technique is easy to perform, allows the rapid screening of many strains, and also that lactobacilli whole cells and the acid supernatant inhibit in higher degree that the neutralized supernatant to the biofilm produced by Klebsiella

Biofilm Formation and Antibacterial Properties of Lactobacillus Isolated from Indigenous Dairy Products
Background: The health benefits of probiotic bacteria are not unknown to anyone. On the other hand, indigenous dairy sources are a potential source of native probiotics. This study aimed to describe the inhibitory activity of Cell-Free Supernatant (CFS), planktonic cells, and biofilm form of Lactobacillus strains isolated from native dairy sources on food pathogens. Methods: Antibacterial acti...

Lactobacilli play a protective role against pathogens in the urogenital tract by a combination of multiple mechanisms, not fully understood until now. The purpose of the present paper was to study whether live, heat killed or sonnicated cells of Lactobacillus fermentum are able to protect against the challenge of uropathogenic Escherichia coli in the urinary tract of mice as experimental model....

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are gram positive and non- spore forming bacteria that can produce some special substances for growth inhibition of pathogenic, non-pathogenic and food spoilage bacteria. The aim of this study was to determine the inhibitory effects of Lactobacillus acidophilus PTCC1643 (DSM 20079) and Lactobacillus plantarum PTCC 1058 (ATCC 8014) cultural supernatants against urinary...

BACKGROUND: Staphylococcal foodborne intoxication is the most common cause of foodborne illnesses by Staphylococcus aureus strains and most are caused by the enterotoxins of S. aureus. Staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) is the most frequently responsible for staphylococcal food poisoning outbreaks. From a food safety and human health point of view, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) may provide a promi...
