Abstract


The objectives of this investigation were (i) to isolate bacteria from various foods (dairy products, fruits, and vegetables) and evaluate their probiotic potential and (ii) to select, identify, and characterize the bacterial strain(s) with the highest probiotic potential. From 14 food samples, 117 bacterial strains were isolated; however, only 42 (T1 to T42) had the correct characteristics (gram positive, coccoid, and bacilliform) and were catalase and oxidase negative to be considered presumptive lactic acid bacteria (LAB). The antagonistic activity of the 42 strains was evaluated against Escherichia coli (O157:H7E09), Listeria monocytogenes (ATCC 19115), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), and Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium (ATCC 14028). The nine strains with the highest antagonistic activity were recovered from the following foods: pulque (T1), sprouted beans (T26), Ranchero cheese (T30, T31, T32, T33, T35, and T36), and Tenate cheese (T40). The inhibition zones on culture and sensitivity plates were 17.0 1.2 to 19.3 2.8 mm in diameter. Based on the antagonistic activity against pathogenic bacteria and resistance to low pH and bile salts, strain T40 had the highest probiotic potential. A 16S rRNA technique was used to identify strain T40 as Lacticaseibacillus paracasei (renamed from Lactobacillus paracasei in April 2020). This strain had no resistance to ampicillin, gentamicin, erythromycin, and tetracycline. The antagonistic activity was evaluated in situ (fresh cheese) against pathogenic bacteria, supporting the probiotic potential of L. paracasei. Isolates of this LAB recovered from Tenate cheese had characteristics of a probiotic microorganism with high potential for use in food technology.
