Introduction | Enterococcus are lactic acid bacteria; LAB comprising both pathogenic and commensal microorganisms ubiquitous in environment even as gut symbionts. They are extensively studied as potential candidate probiotics. Several number of Enterococcus strains have been reported to produce antimicrobial compounds including bacteriocins. Bacteriocin production have be applied to preservation of a wide range of food products and is now being considered as a probiotic trait. Besides, bacteriocins are considered as promising alternative to fight emerging antimicrobial resistance. Enterococcus probiotics can be used in treatment and/or prevention of certain human and animal diseases such as alleviation of irritable bowel syndrome symptoms and antibiotic-induced diarrhea and prevention of different functional and chronic intestinal diseases. Moreover, some Enterococcus exhibit anticarcinogenic, hypocholesterolemic, as well as immune regulation effects. |
Alternative Names | Enterococcus faecium; 20671 |
Enterococcus faecium; 20671 is used to study the composition and function of gut microbiota. Researchers can analyze its interactions with other microorganisms and its impact on gut health and disease states, providing insights into microbiome dynamics.
Before use, Enterococcus faecium; 20671 should be thawed from its frozen state and cultured under anaerobic conditions in an appropriate medium. Ensuring the culture reaches the exponential growth phase is critical for consistent experimental results.
Detection methods include selective plating on differential media, PCR-based techniques for identifying strain-specific genetic markers, and flow cytometry for quantifying bacterial populations in mixed samples.
Enterococcus faecium; 20671 can be used to study fermentation processes by analyzing its growth kinetics, metabolic by-products, and effects on the fermentation environment. This is particularly relevant in food and pharmaceutical biotechnology.
Researchers use Enterococcus faecium; 20671 to investigate how probiotics interact with host cells, influence gut barrier integrity, and modulate local and systemic immune responses, providing insights into therapeutic applications.
