---|---|
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 hirae |
Enterococcus hirae; RS1 should be stored at -80°C in a cryoprotectant such as glycerol. For shorter periods, it can be maintained at 4°C on agar plates. Proper labeling and regular viability checks are necessary to ensure the culture remains viable for long-term use.
Enterococcus hirae; RS1 is widely used in studying gut microbiota, antimicrobial resistance, and probiotics. It serves as a model organism for understanding host-microbe interactions and the development of novel therapeutic approaches for gastrointestinal diseases.
To assess the antimicrobial resistance profile of Enterococcus hirae; RS1, researchers typically use methods such as disk diffusion, broth microdilution, and PCR-based detection of resistance genes. These methods help identify resistance patterns and guide the development of targeted antimicrobial therapies.
Isolation of Enterococcus hirae; RS1 involves plating samples on selective media such as Enterococcosel agar, followed by incubation under appropriate conditions. Identification can be confirmed through biochemical tests, Gram staining, and molecular techniques like PCR and sequencing of 16S rRNA genes.
Genetic manipulation of Enterococcus hirae; RS1 can be achieved through transformation techniques such as electroporation or conjugation. Plasmid vectors and CRISPR-Cas systems are commonly used to introduce or edit genes, enabling the study of gene function and metabolic pathways.
