The aim of the present study was to evaluate the safety of the probiotic strain Bacillus toyonensis BCT-7112T (active ingredient of Toyocerin) in relation to the enterotoxins haemolysin BL (Hbl) and the non-haemolytic enterotoxin (Nhe) by performing a quantitative reverse transcription (RT) real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and a Western blot assay. The expression levels of the enterotoxin genes hblA, hblD, nheA, nheB and nheC, determined by means of RT real-time PCR in B. toyonensis, were lower than those in B. cereus reference strains. No expression of hblC was detected. The Western blot assays of native and 25-fold concentrated supernatants from B. toyonensis, using monoclonal antibodies directed against the Hbl component L1 and the Nhe component NheB, showed weak bands. The NheC component was not detected in the native supernatant, but weakly in the 25-fold concentrated supernatant. According to the results of the present study, the enterotoxin expression and protein levels of B. toyonensis BCT-7112T were absent or clearly lower compared to the B. cereus reference strains. Thus, their ability to form functional enterotoxins can also be considered to be lower or unlikely compared to the B. cereus reference strains. This experimental approach can be implemented when studying the health and safety as well as harmlessness of probiotic microorganisms. |
