Abstract EN
The aim of this study was to investigate enterococci as lactic acid bacteria and as part of Firmicutes phylum.
We focused on the virulence factor, biofilm formation, and antibiotic resistance and also on lactic acid production and enterocin gene detection.
Intestinal samples were taken from 50 healthy trout (3 Salmo trutta and 47 Salmo gairdneri) collected in April 2007, 2010, and 2015 from different locations at the Bukovec water reservoir and the Čierny Váh River in Slovakia.
Twenty pure colonies were identified using the matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry identification system based on protein fingerprints, and then seven identified strains were also phenotyped.
Based on the identification methods used, the identified enterococci (7) belong taxonomically to four different enterococcal species: Enterococcus durans, E.
faecium, E.
mundtii, and E.
thailandicus.
They were hemolysis, DNase, and gelatinase negative with acceptable enzymatic activity.
They did not form biofilm and were mostly susceptible to antibiotics.
All strains produced lactic acid amounting to 1.78 ± 0.33 mmol/l on average and possessed the gene for enterocin A production.
This is the first study reporting more detailed properties of enterococci from trout in Slovakian wild water sources, and it produces new possibilities for studying microbiota in trout.
