The objective of this study was to isolate and characterize the probiotic lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from Palmyra palm sugar, which can produce antimicrobial compounds against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a new zoonotic and food-borne pathogens.
Materials and Methods: Twenty-six LAB isolates were isolated from 30 Palmyra palm sugar samples. Three selected LAB were further characterized as probiotics. In addition, the antibacterial and anti-biofilm-forming activities of the probiotics' culture supernatants against MRSA and food-borne pathogens were investigated. Finally, the selected probiotics were identified by aligning 16S rRNA sequences.
Results: The three confirmed probiotics, WU 0904, WU 2302, and WU 2503, showed strong antibacterial activities against S. aureus, MRSA, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Listeria monocytogenes, as measured by a broth microdilution assay. Among the LAB isolates, 82.22-86.58%, 91.83-96.06%, and 64.35-74.93% exhibited resistance to low pH, pancreatin treatment, and bile salts, respectively. It was found that 59.46% and 83.33% auto-aggregation was observed in 2 and 24 h, respectively. Moreover, 50.25-57.24% adhesion was detected after the incubation of the bacterial cells to Caco-2 cells. . Biofilm inhibition (82.81-87.24%) was detected after the treatment of MRSA with the culture supernatants, when compared with that to the control. By the alignment of 16S rRNA sequences, the isolate WU 2302 was identified as Lacticaseibacillus spp. with 98.82% homology when compared to the GenBank database.
Conclusion: This study indicates that isolated probiotics can produce antimicrobial compounds against MRSA and food-borne pathogens. The obtained results strongly suggest that these probiotics are promising candidates for pharmaceutical products.
