The presence of large amounts of probiotic bacteria in a sample may interfere with the detection of undesirable microorganisms. To illustrate this, infant formula with various strains of probiotic bacteria and the corresponding probiotic culture powders and premixes were artificially contaminated with low levels of Salmonella. Recovery of Salmonella was generally very poor when the conventional...

Effects of casein hydrolysates by papain on acidification of the yogurts and growth of probiotic bacteria during yogurt fermentation have been investigated. The viability of probiotic bacteria and texture characteristics of the yogurts during storage at 4 °C have been evaluated. The hydrolysates strongly decreased the fermentation and coagulation time of the yogurts. The post-fermentation acidi...

nowadays, people tend to consume functional foods for the treatment and prevention of diseases. production growth of functional foods obliged scientists to research about production, distribution and preservation conditions of these products. use of probiotic microorganisms in soy-based products may have advantages of both probiotics and soy on the human health. the probiotic soy-based ice-crea...

aim :  the aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro inhibitory effect of probiotic e.coli nissle 1917 (ecn) strain against pathogenic bacteria isolated from patients with diarrhea. background : probiotics are viable microorganisms that are shown to have beneficial effects on human health. ecn is a typical example of probiotics; however, there are few reports of it being administered fo...

abstract: yoghurt is a popular healthy food, consumed by many people. the popularity of this product made it possible to use it as a base in order to produce probiotic preparations. prebiotics are used for better growth and survival of probiotic bacteria as well as to improve organoleptic, rheological and technological properties of probiotic yoghurt. the aim of this research was to study physi...

BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) therapies are modestly successful and associated with significant side effects. Thus, the investigation of novel approaches to prevent colitis is important. Probiotic bacteria can produce immunoregulatory metabolites in vitro such as conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a polyunsaturated fatty acid with potent anti-inflammatory effects. This study aimed to...

conclusions this study revealed the presence of bacteriocin-producing bacteria and probiotic bacteria in camel milk from the golestan province of iran. results a total of 64 isolates were analyzed based on biochemical tests and morphological characteristics. the most frequently isolated lab was enterococci. weissella, leuconostoc, lactobacilli and pediococci were less frequently found. based on...

Noroviruses (NoVs) are the main etiologic agents of acute epidemic gastroenteritis and probiotic bacteria have been reported to exert a positive effect on viral diarrhea. The protruding (P) domain from NoVs VP1 capsid protein has the ability to assemble into the so-called P-particles, which retain the binding ability to host receptors. We purified the P-domains from NoVs genotypes GI.1 and GII....

BACKGROUND "Probiotic" bacteria are effective in treating some inflammatory bowel diseases. However which bacteria confer benefit and mechanisms of action remain poorly defined. Dendritic cells, which are pivotal in early bacterial recognition, tolerance induction, and shaping of T cell responses, may be central in mediating the effects of these bacteria. AIMS To assess effects of different p...
