Probiotic properties of Lactobacillus isolates originating from porcine intestine and feces

Isolation and characterization of Lactobacillus salivarius MTC 1026 as a potential probiotic

“…In fact, fi nding L. salivarius in human feces is not surprising but the important point is discovering its probiotic property. L. salivarius is found growing naturally in the oral cavities (Busarcevic et al, 2008;Koll et al, 2008), intestines (Ryan et al, 2008), vagina (Juarez et al, 2002;Kilic et al, 2005;Vera et al, 2009), and feces of animals (Nemcova et al, 1997;Robredo and Torres, 2000) such as calves, chickens, pigs (Lahteinen et al, 2010;Yun et al, 2009) and humans (Maldonado et al, 2009). In addition, it was also found in the breast milk of mothers (Maldonado et al, 2010;Martin et al, 2006).…”

Genome Sequence of Lactobacillus amylovorus GRL1112

“…amylovorus strain GRL1112 was originally isolated from porcine feces and found to be an abundant colonizer of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) in pigs (11). Being an Slp carrier, GRL1112 also displays a strong adherence to the pig intestinal epithelial cells and has been further studied for its potential probiotic properties (11).…”

Genome Sequence of Lactobacillus amylovorus GRL1118, Isolated from Pig Ileum

“…amylovorus is one of the dominant S-layer-carrying Lactobacillus species in pigs, showing strong adherence to the pig intestinal epithelial cells and being of interest because of its potential probiotic properties (7,13).…”
