Abstract EN
The use of intestinal probiotic bacteria is very common in the food industry and has been the focus of the majority of research in this field.
Yet in recent years, research on extraintestinal microorganisms has greatly increased due to their well-known potential as probiotics.
Thus, we studied a strain of Lactobacillus fermentum (TCUESC01) extracted from fermenting cocoa.
First, we examined the impact of pH on the growth of this strain and studied its survival under conditions similar to those of the human gastrointestinal tract.
L.
fermentum TCUESC01 demonstrated resistance to conditions mimicking the human stomach and intestines and grew well between pH 5 and pH 7.
Next, we subjected L.
fermentum TCUESC01 to storage at 4°C in a milk solution and found that it survived well for 28 days.
Lastly, we measured the susceptibility of this strain to numerous antibiotics and its tendency to autoaggregate.
L.
fermentum TCUESC01 showed significant autoaggregation, as well as susceptibility to the majority of antibiotics tested.
Overall, our findings support the potential use of this extraintestinal bacterium as a dietary probiotic.
