Project description:In order to understand the appropriate use of potentially beneficial Gram positive microbes through their introduction in the gut microbiome, it is necessary to understand the influence of individual bacteria on the host response system at a cellular level. In the present study we showed that lipopolysaccharide (LPS), flagellated Gram negative bacteria, potentially beneficial Gram positive bacteria and yeast interact differently with human intestinal enterocytes (IEC) with a custom-designed expression microarray evaluating 17 specific host-response pathways. Only, LPS and flagellated Gram negative bacteria induced inflammatory response, while a subset of Gram positive microbes had anti-inflammatory potential. The main outcome from the study was the differential regulation of the central MAPK signaling pathway by these Gram positive microbes versus commensal/pathogenic Gram negative bacteria. The microarray was efficient to highlight the impact of individual bacteria on IEC response, but q-RT-PCR validation demonstrated some underestimation for down regulated genes by the microarray. This Immune Array will allow us to better understand the mechanisms underlying pathogen-induced host immune responses, aid in the selection potentially probiotic microbes and perhaps select biomarkers for future clinical studies. In this study, human immune response was assessed by stimulating HT-29 intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) with different microorganisms (or LPS) individually. For each of the 12 different treatments, between 4 and 8 biological replicates were performed, analyzed with dye-swaps and hybridized against control or untreated cells. Genes that were showing a 1.3 mRNA transcript abundance fold change and a P-value below 0.05 were considered to be differentially expressed.

Project description:The objective of this study was to determine if transferable antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes are present in commercial animal probiotics. DNA was extracted from 50 probiotics, tested for the presence of bacterial DNA, and analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the presence of 8 transferrable AMR genes, including tetracycline, erythromycin, aminoglycoside, sulfonamide, and trimethoprim. Samples that were positive by PCR were confirmed by genome sequencing. Forty-seven (94%) products contained bacterial DNA. Of these, 97% contained at least 1 AMR gene, and 82% contained 2 or more. These results indicate that further evaluation of the risk for transmission of these AMR genes may be warranted.

Project description:Food animal production systems have become more consolidated and integrated, producing large, concentrated animal populations and significant amounts of fecal waste. Increasing use of manure and litter as a more "natural" and affordable source of fertilizer may be contributing to contamination of fruits and vegetables with foodborne pathogens. In addition, human and animal manure have been identified as a significant source of antibiotic resistance genes thereby serving as a disseminator of resistance to soil and waterways. Therefore, identifying methods to remediate human and animal waste is critical in developing strategies to improve food safety and minimize the dissemination of antibiotic resistant bacteria. In this study, we sought to determine whether withdrawing antibiotic growth promoters or using alternatives to antibiotics would reduce the abundance of antibiotic resistance genes or prevalence of pathogens in poultry litter. Terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) paired with high throughput sequencing was used to evaluate the bacterial community composition of litter from broiler chickens that were treated with streptogramin growth-promoting antibiotics, probiotics, or prebiotics. The prevalence of resistance genes and pathogens was determined from sequencing results or PCR screens of litter community DNA. Streptogramin antibiotic usage did not elicit statistically significant differences in Shannon diversity indices or correlation coefficients among the flocks. However, T-RFLP revealed that there were inter-farm differences in the litter composition that was independent of antibiotic usage. The litter from all farms, regardless of antibiotic usage, contained streptogramin resistance genes (vatA, vatB, and vatE), macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B resistance genes (ermA and ermB), the tetracycline resistance gene tetM and class 1 integrons. There was inter-farm variability in the distribution of vatA and vatE with no statistically significant differences with regards to usage. Bacterial diversity was higher in litter when probiotics or prebiotics were administered to flocks but as the litter aged, diversity decreased. No statistically significant differences were detected in the abundance of class 1 integrons where 3%-5% of the community was estimated to harbor a copy. Abundance of pathogenic Clostridium species increased in aging litter despite the treatment while the abundance of tetracycline-resistant coliforms was unaffected by treatment. However some treatments decreased the prevalence of Salmonella. These findings suggest that withdrawing antibiotics or administering alternatives to antibiotics can change the litter bacterial community and reduce the prevalence of some pathogenic bacteria, but may not immediately impact the prevalence of antibiotic resistance.

Project description:In this study, lactic acid bacteria were isolated from 21 top-selling probiotic products on Korean market and their antimicrobial resistance were analyzed. A total 152 strains were claimed to be contained in these products and 70 isolates belonging to three genera (Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, and Lactococcus) were obtained from these products. RAPD-PCR showed diversity among isolates of the same species except for two isolates of Lacticaibacillus rhamnosus from two different products. The agar dilution method and the broth dilution method produced different MICs for several antimicrobials. With the agar dilution method, five isolates (three isolates of Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis, one isolate of B. breve, one isolate of B. longum) were susceptible to all nine antimicrobials and 15 isolates were multi-drug resistant. With the broth microdilution method, only two isolates (one isolate of B. breve and one isolate of B. longum) were susceptible while 16 isolates were multi-drug resistant. In this study, only two AMR genes were detected: 1) lnu(A) in one isolate of clindamycin-susceptible and lincomycin-resistant Limosilactobacillus reuteri; and 2) tet(W) in one tetracycline-susceptible isolate of B. longum B1-1 and two tetracycline-susceptible isolates and three tetracycline resistant isolates of B. animalis subsp. lactis. Transfer of these two genes via conjugation with a filter mating technique was not observed. These results suggest a need to monitor antimicrobial resistance in newly registered probiotics as well as probiotics with a long history of use.
