Abstract

To screen candidate strains of probiotics for infants, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains were isolated from breast milk and infant feces and screened according to bile salt tolerance.Then the strains were explored by investigating acid tolerance, simulated gastrointestinal fluid tolerance, adhesion ability, bacteriostatic ability, hemolytic ability, amine production ability, and antibiotic resistance.A total of 131 strains of LAB were isolated, among which four strains showed better bile salt tolerance.The survival rates of all these four strains were higher than 45% under 0.1% bile salt, and all these strains belonged to Lactobacillus plantarum.The survival rates of these strains were higher than 50% under pH 2.5 simulated gastric juice.The survival rate of M664 under simulated gastrointestinal fluid was 49.32%.The adhesion rate of digested M678 cells to Caco-2 cells was 10.98%.The diameters of the bacteriostatic circle of the four strains to the six spoilage bacteria and pathogens were all larger than 16 mm.In addition, these strains did not produce biological amines and were sensitive to most antibiotics.Overall, L.plantarum strains obtained in this study were different from Lactobacillus isolated from breast milk and infant feces from Western dietary pattern countries.L.plantarum M664 had better gastrointestinal environmental tolerance, and L.plantarum M678 had better antibacterial ability and cell adhesion ability.These two strains showed better probiotic potential and safety and were excellent candidate strains of probiotics for Chinese infants.
