Oral infections caused by microorganisms have led to increased risk of oral health problems such as Dental Caries (DC), periodontitis and Oral Candidiasis (OC). Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans are the primary organisms responsible for DC and OC, respectively. The goal of the presented study was to investigate the potential of probiotics to prevent and treat DC and OC. An in vitro assa...

INTRODUCTION Ogi is a popular fermented cereal gruel consumed mainly in the western part of Nigeria. Traditionally, uncooked Ogi is normally administered to diarrhoea patients to reduce the frequency of stooling. This study was therefore undertaken to identify, quantify and determine the antimicrobial properties of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from Ogi. METHODS The Ogi samples (Yellow,...

Most bacterial strains, which have been studied so far for their probiotic functions, are extensively used by manufacturers in developed countries. In our work, we sought to study a mix (called BSL) comprising three strains belonging to Lactobacillus fermentum, L. paraplantarum and L. salivarius, that were isolated from a traditional African pearl millet based fermented slurry. Our objective wa...

Clostridium perfringens is the causative pathogen of avian necrotic enteritis. Lactobacillus spp. are well-characterized probiotics with anti-microbial and immune-modulatory activities. In the present study, we investigated the effects of L. acidophilus and L. fermentum on the growth, α-toxin production and inflammatory responses of C. perfringens. In in vitro culture experiments, both lactobac...

Intestinal colonization is beneficial to the role of probiotics, and prebiotics can promote adhesion probiotics in intestine. This study optimized combination complex that could improve growth ability Limosilactobacillus fermentum (L. fermentum) DALI02 Caco-2 cells vitro determined effect its quantity time immunocompromised rat model. The results showed all five (fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), ...

Cell growth and lactose consumption profile of five Lactobacillus Strains: bulgaricus, casei, lactis, delbrueckii and fermentum has been investigated. Experiments of cell growth and substrate utilization were conducted in batch submerged culture of whey with added lactose and some other growth factors. Fitness assessment of experimental data on the cell growth and lactose consumption by Monod k...

Interactions occurring between Saccharomyces cerevisiae and two thermostable α-amylase producing strains (Bacillus amyloliquefaciens 04BBA15 and Lactobacillus fermentum 04BBA19) were analyzed by comparing their growth patterns obtained in isolation with those obtained in mixture. The difference between the patterns was assessed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) in order to measure how much the...

Lactobacilli are thought to be beneficial for human health, with lactobacilli-associated infections being confined to immune-compromised individuals. However, Lactobacillus fermentum AGR1487 negatively affects barrier integrity in vitro so we hypothesized that it caused a pro-inflammatory response in the host. We compared germ-free rats inoculated with AGR1487 to those inoculated with another L...

The aim of this study was to determine the dual effect of Maillard reaction and fermentation on the preventive cardiovascular effects of milk proteins. Maillard reaction products (MRP) were prepared from the reaction between milk proteins, such as whey protein concentrates (WPC) and sodium caseinate (SC), and lactose. The hydrolysates of MRP were obtained from fermentation by lactic acid bacter...

this study was carried out to examine aflatoxin b1 (afb1) removal ability of four strains of lactic acidbacteria (lab). three indigenous (lactobacillus rhamnosus tmu094, lactobacillus fermentum tmu121and pedioccus pentosaceus tmu457) and a non-indigenous (labacillus rhamnosus ptcc1637) isolateswere studied. the strains were incubated with (afb1) at different time. the toxin residual in the supe...
