PROBIOTIC PROPERTIES of PEDIOCOCCUS.Pdf CHAPTER ONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY Diarrhoea is a gastrointestinal tract (GIT) disorder which accounts for global deaths of nearly 1.5 million children under five years of age. It is the second most common cause of child death worldwide after pneumonia. Over half of the deaths are estimated to occur in five countries: India (386,600); Nigeria (194,000); Democratic Republic of Congo (89,900); Afghanistan (82,100); and Ethiopia (73,700) (Unicef, 2015). The most common cause of diarrhoea is an infection of the intestines due to a bacterium, virus, parasite or fungus, a condition known as gastroenteritis (Ciccarelli et al., 2013). These infections are often acquired from food or water that had been contaminated directly from another person who was infected with enteropathogens (WHO, 2013). Gastroenteritis is usually an acute and life threatening disease, resulting from loss of fluid and electrolytes particularly sodium ion (Na +) and water from the body, which requires specific anti-infective therapy (Nwachukwu et al., 2013). Enteric bacteria comprised of Salmonella species, Shigella species, Proteus species, Klebsiella species, E. coli , Pseudomonas species, Vibrio cholerae and S. aureus which are major aetiologic agents of enteric infections (Ballal and Shivananda, 2002). Enteric infections are caused by two major bacterial mechanisms including mucosal invasion and secretion of toxins (Omojate et al., 2014), are associated with Symptoms such as anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort and sometimes lactose intolerance (Lin et al., 1998). Treatment and prevention of infectious gastroenteritis are not limited to antibiotics therapy since indiscriminate use fosters the emergence of drug-resistant organisms. Consequently, the European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition and the European Society of Paediatric Infectious Diseases guidelines made a strong recommendation for the use of probiotics for the management of acute gastroenteritis (Ciccarelli et al., 2013). Probiotics are microbial food supplements that prevent pathogens from proliferation in the intestinal tract on the surface structures, aid maximum feed utilization, improve water quality and enhance the immune system of the host (Nwogu et al., 2011). Probiotics are adjuncts in health promoting food for humans and also used as therapeutic, prophylactic and growth supplements in animal production and human health (Isolauri, 2001; Amund, 2016). More importantly, the emergence of antibiotic resistance in enteric pathogenic bacteria has facilitated the prophylactic and therapeutic uses of probiotics. Consequently, probiotics should be considered as alternatives to antibiotics. 1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Enteropathogenic bacteria, which have been implicated in gastrointestinal diseases, are of global public health concern because of the significant morbidity and mortality especially in low and middle income countries, like Nigeria, where they place tremendous burdens on fragile healthcare systems. The major concern is the emergence of antibiotic resistant strains of enteric pathogens due to the widespread use of antibiotics. Consequently, alternative preventive and treatment measures for gastro intestinal disorders are required. Probiotics have been proven to be more effective in the management of acute gastroenteritis with no reported side effects. Probiotics are strain specific and not readily available in low income countries like Nigeria. Dependence on foreign probiotics is a challenge hence the need for isolation of indigenous strains for use. 1.3 AIM AND OBJECTIVES The overall aim of the study is to isolate potential probiotic lactic acid bacteria from fermented sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor ) gruel and beverage. 2 1.4 SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES OF STUDY The specific objectives of this research are to: Isolate and identify putative beneficial bacteria from fermented sorghum product; Examine the isolates for anti-enteropathogenic probiotic properties; Characterize and genetically identify selected isolate(s); Investigate and characterize the basis of antibacterial activity of identified isolate(s). 1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY Lactic acid fermentation is very important in food processing in the low and medium income countries, thus has the potential for use as a measure of disease control. In order to meet the increasing demand for viable food, lactic acid fermentation is expected to play an important role in preserving fresh vegetables, cereals, fruits and other food items for feeding humanity in developing countries of the world. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) which have been reported as probiotic strains play a major role in fermentation, enhancing nutritive values of fermented products in addition to acidifying the products which prevents the growth of some spoilage and pathogenic organisms. However, probiotic properties are strain-specific . This study will provide indigenous LAB for local use as probiotics, alternative means of treatment and prevention of gastrointestinal disorders such as diarrhoea in low income countries including Nigeria. The prospective probiotic LAB isolates should be non-resstant to antibiotics since enteric LAB have been reported to demonstrate capability to transfer antibiotic resistance gene to unrelated enteric bacteria, which is factor contributing to pathogenesis. In addition, this research will reduce dependence on imported probiotics and antibiotics in the management and prevention of diarrhoea in Nigeria thereby saving cost. The study may, however, be a source of revenue from the export of this indigenous probiotics. 3 1.6 OPERATIONAL DEFINITION OF TERMS Antibacterial: substance which inhibits growth of bacteria.

Probiotics have been suggested to protect against infectious diseases by several strain-dependent mechanisms (Foligne et al., 2010) including secretion of antipathogen substances, competitive exclusion of pathogens, maintenance of mucosal integrity, and stimulation of systemic or mucosal immune responses (Howarth and Wang,

  • Why Are Weissella Spp. Not Used As Commercial Starter Cultures for Food Fermentation?
    Review Why Are Weissella spp. Not Used as Commercial Starter Cultures for Food Fermentation? Amandine Fessard and Fabienne Remize * UMR C-95 QualiSud, Université de La Réunion, CIRAD, Université Montpellier, Montpellier SupAgro, Université d’Avignon et des Pays de Vaucluse, F-97490 Sainte Clotilde, France; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +26-269-220-0785 Received: 25 June 2017; Accepted: 14 July 2017; Published: 3 August 2017 Abstract: Among other fermentation processes, lactic acid fermentation is a valuable process which enhances the safety, nutritional and sensory properties of food. The use of starters is recommended compared to spontaneous fermentation, from a safety point of view but also to ensure a better control of product functional and sensory properties. Starters are used for dairy products, sourdough, wine, meat, sauerkraut and homemade foods and beverages from dairy or vegetal origin. Among lactic acid bacteria, Lactobacillus, Lactococcus, Leuconostoc, Streptococcus and Pediococcus are the majors genera used as starters whereas Weissella is not. Weissella spp. are frequently isolated from spontaneous fermented foods and participate to the characteristics of the fermented product. They possess a large set of functional and technological properties, which can enhance safety, nutritional and sensory characteristics of food. Particularly, Weissella cibaria and Weissella confusa have been described as high producers of exo-polysaccharides, which exhibit texturizing properties. Numerous bacteriocins have been purified from Weissella hellenica strains and may be used as bio-preservative. Some Weissella strains are able to decarboxylate polymeric phenolic compounds resulting in a better bioavailability. Other Weissella strains showed resistance to low pH and bile salts and were isolated from healthy human feces, suggesting their potential as probiotics.

However, growth conditions and conservation methods may reduce the viability and antimicrobial activity of lactic acid bacteria. This study evaluated the effects of fermentation substrate, lyophilization (freeze-drying) and refrigeration on the viability and antimicrobial activity of Weissella confusa strain and its metabolites against pathogens responsible for bovine mastitis. W. confusa strain was grown in MRS broth and milk supplemented with yeast extract and glucose (MYEG). The collected fractions were preserved by lyophilization or under refrigeration at 4ºC. Every seven days, the viability of W. confusa strain and the stability of its metabolites were evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus agalactiae by disc diffusion assays. In both fermentation substrates, the combination of lyophilized strain and metabolites retained antimicrobial activity against the two pathogens for 42 days. Also, W. confusa strain retained adequate viability and antimicrobial activity when grown in MYEG and stored under refrigeration conditions.

LAB isolates were identified by partial sequencing the 23 16S rRNA gene as belonging to the species Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus brevis and 24 mainly Weissella confusa. At the end of a characterization process, 2 L. paracasei and 2 W. 25 confusa isolates were selected, and their resistance to a simulated gastrointestinal digestion and 26 their ability to adhere to eukaryotic cell lines was assessed.
