Campylobacter can enter a viable but non-culturable (VBNC) state to evade various stresses, and this state is undetectable using traditional microbiological culturing techniques. These VBNC bacterial cells retain metabolism and demonstrate pathogenic

Synergy between Probiotic Lactobacillus casei and Milk to Maintain Barrier Integrity of Intestinal Epithelial Cells

We hypothesized that Lactobacillus casei BL23 and milk work synergistically to prevent damage to epithelial barrier integrity induced by pro-inflammatory cytokines. To test this, barrier disruption was induced in polarized Caco-2 monolayers by sequen

Clostridium sordellii is a lethal pathogen for both animals and humans. Severe capillary leakage, toxic shock syndrome, and an extreme leukemoid reaction (LR), are hallmark features of C. sordellii infections and contribute to its high mortality rate

We investigated the Lactobacillus plantarum bacteriocin plantaricin EF (PlnEF) system for its contributions to L. plantarum mediated benefits in a mouse model of diet-induced obesity. C57BL/6J mice on a high-fat diet (HFD) were administered a rifampi

Publikováno v: Beneficial microbes. 9(2)

Plantaricin EF (PlnEF) is a class IIb bacteriocin produced by Lactobacillus plantarum. We compared L. plantarum NCIMB8826 and LM0419, a plnEFI deletion mutant of that strain lacking plnEF and the gene for the cognate immunity protein plnI, in a 2,4,6
