Abstract

In the present study, twenty-seven (27) lactobacilli strains, isolated from the vagina of healthy Italian women of reproductive age, were screened for probiotic properties. The strains were evaluated for antagonistic activity against pathogens, adhesion abilities, and potential to displace and/or inhibit the adhesion of previously adhered pathogens as a primary strain selection criterion. Overall, all the tested lactobacilli inhibited at least three pathogens, and the majority of them exhibited antimicrobial activity against Enterobacter cloacae DSM 30054, Pseudomonas aeruginosa DSM 3227, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa DSM 1117. The complete neutralization of antimicrobial activity after cell-free supernatant (CFS) neutralization suggested a pivotal role for lactic acid or other organic acids secreted by the lactobacilli. The strains showed variability in their adhesion levels, but all tested strains adhered to both human colonic epithelial cells (HT-29) and vaginal cells (VK2/E6E7) with adhesion percentages exceeding 1%. The ability to displace or inhibit pathogens was dependent on the pathogen and the lactobacilli strain; the pathogen displacement levels ranged from 9 to 82%, while pathogen exclusion levels varied from 1 to 99%. In conclusion, this study demonstrates the protective effect of vaginal lactobacilli against pathogens and confirms the suitability of the vaginal microbiota as a source of potential probiotic strains. The selected lactobacilli hold promise for the formulation of supplements to enhance genitourinary tract health.

摘要

在本研究中,从意大利健康育龄妇女阴道中分离出27株乳酸杆菌菌株,并对其益生菌特性进行了筛选。作为主要的菌株选择标准,对这些菌株的抗病原体拮抗活性、黏附能力以及取代和/或抑制先前黏附病原体黏附的潜力进行了评估。总体而言,所有测试的乳酸杆菌至少抑制三种病原体,其中大多数对阴沟肠杆菌DSM 30054、铜绿假单胞菌DSM 3227和铜绿假单胞菌DSM 1117表现出抗菌活性。无细胞上清液(CFS)中和后抗菌活性完全中和,表明乳酸杆菌分泌的乳酸或其他有机酸起关键作用。这些菌株的黏附水平存在差异,但所有测试菌株均能黏附于人结肠上皮细胞(HT-29)和阴道细胞(VK2/E6E7),黏附百分比超过1%。取代或抑制病原体的能力取决于病原体和乳酸杆菌菌株;病原体取代水平在9%至82%之间,而病原体排除水平在1%至99%之间。总之,本研究证明了阴道乳酸杆菌对病原体的保护作用,并证实了阴道微生物群作为潜在益生菌菌株来源的适用性。所选的乳酸杆菌有望用于配制补充剂,以促进泌尿生殖道健康。
