(1) In our study, we have employed the γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), organic acid contents, total phenol content, anthocyanins content, DPPH, oxygen radical absorbance capacity, superoxide dismutase activity assay, and cytotoxicity assay to assess the functional properties of fermented CPSP milk by different lactic acid bacteria. (2) Our results have revealed that the fermented CPSP milk samples possess high GABA concentrations, organic acid contents, anthocyanins contents, and antioxidant activity. This will provide potential opportunity to develop different functional food products from fermented CPSP milk. (3) The potential health benefit of fermented CPSP milk makes the further application of CPSP in health food highly worthwhile.
Aim: The objectives of our study is to determinate the antibiotic susceptibility of this organism to different antibiotics to determine the discriminatory power of the molecular typing methods. Methods and Results: In this study, 50 Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae isolates from Scomber australasicus and Rachycentron canadum were collected in Taiwan and their resistance to 15 different antimicrobial agents was determined. In addition, random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and pulsed-field gel electrolysis (PFGE) were performed to study the epidemiology and clonal relationship of P. damselae subsp. damselae. The results showed that the 50 isolates generated 25 typeable profiles with multidrug resistance to 3-7 antimicrobials. The results also indicate that the RAPD and PFGE methods have high discriminatory power for molecular subtyping. Conclusion: Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae isolates from fish to examine for multidrug resistance to antimicrobials. RAPD and PFGE methods revealed the high discriminatory power for molecular subtyping and provided information that could be used for risk assessment of P. damselae subsp. damselae infections. Significance and Impact of the Study: These results may help in epidemiological investigations of P. damselae subsp. damselae and may be useful in controlling or treating P. damselae subsp. damselae infections in aquaculture and clinical therapy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
