Adhesion abilities of dairy Lactobacillus plantarum strains showing an aggregation phenotype
Abstract
Bacterial aggregation phenotype and cell surface hydrophobicity of dairy Lactobacillus plantarum strains were screened in order to assess a correlation with their adhesion and pathogen competitive exclusion abilities. Lactobacilli strains showing an aggregation phenotype, L. plantarum IFPL33, IFPL81, IFPL150, IFPL156 and IFPL162, also exhibited the highest percentages of autoaggregation (>50%) at 24h. In addition, autoaggregation abilities of the lactobacilli were highly correlated with their percentages of co-aggregation with all the pathogens tested, although co-aggregation properties were pathogen specific. Nevertheless, none of the autoaggregation and co-aggregation abilities correlated with the affinity to xylene (hydrophobicity) and the ability of adhesion to Caco-2 cells. Furthermore, these properties are not fully correlated with the ability of the lactobacilli strains for inhibiting pathogen adhesion. Aggregation abilities and cell surface hydrophobicity may not be the only components responsible for adhesion but some of the criteria to bear in mind of a complex mechanism that enables microorganisms to interact with the host and exert its beneficial effect. Further research is needed to identify remaining attributes related to adhesion and pathogen exclusion properties of potential probiotic strains.

Auto-aggregation ability correlates positively with adherence to human epithelial cell lines and the ability to co-aggregate with Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus and pathogenic Escherichia coli.
“Auto-aggregation ability correlates positively with adherence to human epithelial cell lines and the ability to co-aggregate with Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus and pathogenic Escherichia coli [8, 12–16].”

Auto-aggregation is associated with enhanced colonization, inhibition of pathogenic infections and immunomodulation of the intestinal mucosa.
“Auto-aggregation is a desired property for probiotics which is associated with enhanced colonization, inhibition of pathogenic infections and immunomodulation of the intestinal mucosa [12, 13, 28, 43, 44].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
