Adhesion Capacity of Weissella cibaria to Bovine Mammary Tissue and the Effect of Bio-Sealant Topical Application on Physicochemical Properties of Milk.

The ability of a probiotic strain (Weissella cibaria) to adhere on tissue and the effect of its topical application in nipples of lactating cows on physicochemical characteristics of milk were evaluated. An ex vivo model was used to demonstrate the adhesion capacity of W. cibaria. Tissue samples were randomly distributed in three different solutions corresponding to three treatments (a nipple bio-sealant formulation, sterile PBS solution and biomass of W. cibaria, sterile PBS solution without microorganism addition). The number of bacteria adhered in tissue was quantified and observed using electron microscopy. Additionally, a bio-sealant prepared with W. cibaria was topically applied to nipples of dairy cows. Milk samples were taken every 7 days for 60 days. Two controls were used. California mastitis test (CMT), somatic cell count, electrical conductivity, pH, density, and acidity were evaluated. The adhesion capacity of W. cibaria strain to epithelial cells of bovine teat tissue samples was demonstrated. When the strain was added as a bio-sealant, the adhesion capacity of W. cibaria was 80.44%. The response variables did not show significant differences among treatments; these results indicate the safety of the topical application of W. cibaria on the bovine mammary gland. In this study, a new safe way of administering probiotic microorganisms in nipples of lactating cows was demonstrated. W. cibaria adheres to the bovine mammary tissue and can be topically applied in nipples of lactating cows without affecting the physicochemical characteristics of milk.

Lactobacillus paracasei probiotic properties and survivability under stress-induced by processing and storage of ice cream bar or ice-lolly

ABSTRACT: Probiotics are live microorganisms which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host. The aim of this study was to identify genotypically lactobacilli strains isolated from newborn stools and selecting strain based on probiotic properties (gastrointestinal tolerance, antibiotic susceptibility, inhibition of pathogen biofilm formation, absence of alfa or gamma-blood hemolysis, and lysozyme sensibility) and technological properties of surviving either in ice cream bar or ice-lolly. Reduction of 1.2log cfu ml-1 of the Lactobacillus paracasei strain was observed after exposure through in vitro gastrointestinal conditions. It inhibited biofilms of Escherichia coli, Salmonella Typhimurium and Candida albicans by mechanisms of competition, exclusion and displacement, and was resistant up to 3000g ml-1 of egg white lysozyme. It presented neither alfa nor gamma-hemolysis or was antibiotic resistant to usual antibiotics for human use. Microbial survivability in ice cream bar or ice-lolly was assessed up to 21 days of storage at -18°C. Viability was maintained in ice cream bar, but there was a reduction of almost 2.0logs in ice-lolly.

RESUMO: Probióticos são microrganismos vivos que, quando administrados em quantidade adequadas, conferem benefícios à saúde do hospedeiro. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi identificar genotipicamente lactobacilos isolados de material fecal de recém-nascidos, assim como selecionar uma cepa com base em suas propriedades probióticas (tolerância às condições gastrointestinais, susceptibilidade à antibióticos, inibição da formação de biofilmes por microrganismos patogênicos, ausência de hemólise alfa ou gama e sensibilidade à lisozima) e tecnológicas de sobrevivência em picolé à base de água ou leite. Houve redução de 1,2log ufc ml-1 do isolado identificado como Lactobacillus paracasei após passagem pelas condições gastrointestinais in vitro. Esta cepa inibiu a formação de biofilmes de Escherichia coli, Salmonella Typhimurium e Candida albicans pelos mecanismos de competição, exclusão e desacoplamento e apresentou resistência até 3000g ml-1 frente a lisozima de ovo. Entre os aspectos de segurança, a cepa não apresentou hemólise alfa ou gama e não foi resistente a antibióticos comumente ministrados em humanos. A sobrevivência microbiana em picolé a base de água ou leite foi analisada ao longo de 21 dias de estocagem a -18°C. Houve manutenção da viabilidade no produto à base de leite, mas naquele à base de água, ocorreu redução de quase 2,0logs.
