Lactobacillus paracasei DUP 13076 demonstrates antagonistic effects against the foodborne pathogens Salmonella enterica serovars Enteritidis, Typhimurium, and Heidelberg in coculture and in vitro experiments. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Lactobacillus paracasei DUP 13076, which has a circular chromosome of 3,048,314 bp and a G+C content of 46.3%.

The primary structures of the 16S rRNA genes of the type strains of Lactobacillus casei and related taxa were determined by PCR DNA-sequencing methods. The sequences of Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus zeae, Lactobacillus paracasei, and Lactobacillus rhamnosus were different. The Knuc values ranged from 0.0040 to 0.0126. On the basis of the Knuc values and the levels of DNA-DNA relatedness am...

Benzoic acid is occasionally used as a raw material supplement in food products and is sometimes generated during the fermentation process. In this study, the production of naturally occurring yogurt preservatives was investigated for various starter cultures and incubation temperatures, and considered food regulations. Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus delbru...

INTRODUCTION Antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) is common and frequently more severe in hospitalized elderly adults. It can lead to increased use of healthcare resources. We estimated the cost-effectiveness of a fermented milk (FM) with probiotic in preventing AAD and in particular Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD). METHODS Clinical effectiveness data and cost information wer...

the objective of this study ware to investigate the effects of different doses of origanum vulgare on the growth of lactobacillus casei and lactobacillus paracasei (separated from iranian dairy products) in milk produced at one step. the product was then examined in terms of ph, acidity and microbe counting during incubator setting period. in the milk samples with lactobacillus casei, the contr...

A total of 109 lactic acid bacteria isolated from infant faeces were identified by partial 16S rRNA, cpn60 and/or pheS sequencing. Lactobacillus was the most prevalent genus, representing 48% of the isolates followed by Enterococcus (38%). Lactobacillus gasseri (21%) and Enterococcus faecalis (38%) were the main species detected. A further selection of potential probiotic starter cultures for f...

Objective. To investigate the effects of Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM / Bifidobacterium lactis BL-04 / fructooligosaccharide and Lactobacillus plantarum LP01/ Lactobacillus paracasei LPC00 / fructo-oligosaccharide preparations in the routine clinical management of seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR) and perennial allergic rhinitis (PAR), respectively. Materials and Methods. Seventy-six and fifty...

Probiotics have been described as a potential strategy to control opportunistic infections due to their ability to stimulate the immune system. Using the non-vertebrate model host Galleria mellonella, we evaluated whether clinical isolates of Lactobacillus spp. are able to provide protection against Candida albicans infection. Among different strains of Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus rh...

The Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food Safety (VKM) has appointed an ad hoc-group of experts to answer a request from the Authority regarding benefit and risk assessment Lactobacillus paracasei ssp. F19 (F19) in processed cerealbased baby foods intended small children 1-3 years. This is based on literature provided by notifier as well that found MEDLINE search.
