Abstract

Several LAB species were evaluated and characterized for potential probiotic use. Besides the antimicrobial activity, probiotics showed recently a capacity to prevent and to alleviate inflammatory and chronic diseases. Immunomodulation effect is one of the modes of actions of such probiotics, called immunobiotics, which can be used in several chronic diseases such as Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD). The aim of this study was to isolate, identify and characterize lactobacilli strains from healthy baby's feces in order to select some strains with potential immunobiotic application especially strains which can stimulate anti-inflammatory responses. Forty-two LAB strains were isolated and identified by the MALDI-TOF / MS technique. In addition, strains were subjected to several assessments such as antimicrobial activity, the capacity to form biofilm in polystyrene microplate and immunomodulation activity in a PBMC model. Results showed that the majority of strains (90.4%) were identified as Lactobacillus. However, among these, only 39.4% of lactobacilli strains were not identified at the species level. All isolated lactobacilli strains showed an anti-inflammatory effect. Moreover, 7 strains were considered as good probiotic candi...Continue Reading
