ABSTRACT

The effect of generally recognised as safe (GRAS) plant metabolites in regulating the growth of human pathogenic and probiotic bacteria and in the formation of biofilm was investigated. Thymol, carvacrol and eugenol showed the strongest antibacterial action against both pathogenic and probiotic microorganisms, at a subinhibitory concentration (SIC) of ≤50 µg ml-1. Genistein, hydroquinone, p-hydroxybenzoic acid and resveratrol also showed antibacterial effects but at a wide concentration range (SIC = 50-1000 µg ml-1). Catechin, gallic acid, protocatechuic acid and cranberry extracts were the most biologically compatible molecules (SIC ≥ 1000 µg ml-1). Regarding the effect on biofilm, it was observed that thymol, carvacrol and eugenol showed antibiofilm activity against all potential pathogenic bacteria tested whilst specifically enhancing probiotic aggregation. Catechin, genistein and cranberry extracts did not inhibit the pathogenic aggregation but they stimulated probiotic biofilm formation, whilst gallic acid, protocateuchic acid, hydroquinone, p-hydroxybenzoic acid and resveratrol did not show opposite effect on biofilm formation between pathogenic and probiotic microorganisms. These results indicate that an appropriate combination of GRAS plant metabolites, which have traditionally been used as dietary constituents due to their health-promoting characteristics, can also be extremely useful in the regulation of bacterial proliferation in the intestinal microbiota. Hence, it is suggested to apply these natural GRAS molecules as dietary supplements in the food industry in order to promote probiotic viability and to prevent or reduce colonisation or proliferation of intestinal pathogens.

ABSTRACT

Se realiza una revisión bibliográfica de la ecografía tridimensional, a objeto de dar a conocer los principios físicos, las eventuales aplicaciones en obstetricia y ginecología, así como las ventajas y desventajas de la técnica. El principio físico es la sumatoria de un conjunto de ecografías convencionales, orientadas en diferentes ejes de corte de una determinada estructura, las que son integradas por un computador, obteniéndose una imagen de volumen, o tridimensional. La limitación del método está en la obtención de las imágenes ecográficas convencionales, en los tres planos espaciales, los cuales deben ser exactamente perpendiculares entre si, para obtener una buena imagen tridimensional. Las aplicaciones abarcan todas las áreas de la medicina, dondo sea posible obtener imágenes, vale decir: cirugía vascular, con el uso de transductores intravasculares; imágenes de lesiones vasculares en cardiología, así como imágenes de tumores en diversos órganos. Se ve un campo promisorio en obstetricia con la evaluación de malformaciones fetales, lo que permite un mejor diagnóstico al poder mover en la pantalla las imágenes obtenidas, para observarlas en diferentes ángulos; además, éstas pueder ser almacenadas, interpretadas y comparadas posteriormente. Al ser una técnica no invasiva se puede utilizar en forma rutinaria en la embarazada
