AB  - Introduction: Exopolysaccharides (EPS) are carbohydrate polymers with important biological activities such 
as immunomodulatory, antioxidative and antitumor (1). How EPS affect the gut microbiota, which plays an 
important role in maintaining homeostasis in the organism, is poorly understood to date. Therefore, the aim 
of this study was to investigate how EPS-AN8, derived from Lactiplantibacillus plantarum BGAN8, affects part 
of the gut microbiota in the duodenum of healthy Dark Agouti rats (DA).
Materials and Methods: EPS-AN8 was administered to male DA at low (0.1 mg/mL) and high (1 mg/mL) 
dose over a 15-day period. Total duodenal DNA was isolated and PCR amplicon for 16SrRNA was sequenced 
on Illumina NovaSeq paired-end platform. Furthermore, we tracked key parameters of oxidative stress and 
inflammation in duodenal homogenates.
Results: The higher dose of EPS-AN8 resulted in an increased Shannon's diversity index. The most 
significant differences were observed in the increased relative abundance of the genera Ruminococcus, 
Dubosiella, Enterohabdus, and Adlercreutzia. At the same time, we demonstrated that neither dosage caused 
negative side effects such as inflammation and oxidative stress.
Conclusion: Considering the existing trend to market foods with additional health benefits, our results 
suggest that EPS-AN8 could be a good candidate for functional food supplementation.

AB  - Кадмијум је глобално присутан токсични метал који изазива бројне штетне ефекте у организму и заузима седмо место на листи приоритетних супстанци од којих је неопходно пронаћи оптималне начине заштите. Наше пређашње студије су показале да егзополисахарид изолован из соја Lactiplantibacillus plantarum BGAN8 (EPS-AN8) показује висок афинитет за везивање јона кадмијума у воденом раствору и остварује значајан ниво in vitro заштите Caco-2 ћелија од његових токсичних ефеката. Имајући у виду да је за општу популацију најзаступљенији унос кадмијума исхраном, у овој студији је праћен паралелни ефекат уноса кадмијума (кроз воду) и EPS-AN8 (кроз храну) у DA пацовима. Након 30 дана третмана, утврђено је да је унос EPS-AN8 допринео сниженом нивоу депонованог метала у бубрезима, јетри и крви, а повећаном садржају у фекалном материјалу. Такође, микрографије дуоденума, бубрега и јетре су указале на ниже степене кадмијумом индукованих оштећења. Праћењем активности ензима који учествују у антиоксидативној заштити (CAT, GST), терминалних производа липидне пероксидације (MDA) и продукције проинфламаторних цитокина (IL-1β, TNFα, IFN-γ) у хомогенатима дуоденума, утврђен је нижи ниво оксидативног стреса и инфламације, што представља додатни показатељ заштите коју остварује EPS-AN8. С обзиром да орални унос кадмијума доводи до значајних промена у цревној микробиоти, изоловали смо тоталну DNK из дуоденума и секвенцирали 16S rDNK ампликон на Illumina NovaSeq платформи. Примећено је да унос EPS-AN8 ублажава појаву промена у релативној заступљености бактеријских родова и врста карактерисичних за излагање кадмијуму, попут пораста броја опортунистичких патогених бактерија и смањења бројности лактобацила.

AB  - Cadmium (Cd) is a highly toxic metal that is distributed worldwide. Exposure to it is correlated with a vast number of diseases and organism malfunctions. Exopolysaccharides (EPS) derived from Lactiplantibacillus plantarum BGAN8, EPS-AN8, previously showed great potential for the in vitro protection of intestinal cells from this metal. Here, we investigated the potential of food supplemented with EPS-AN8 to protect rats from the hazardous effects of Cd exposure. After thirty days of exposure to lower (5 ppm) and higher (50 ppm)-Cd doses, the administration of EPS-AN8 led to decreased Cd content in the kidneys, liver, and blood compared to only Cd-treated groups, whereas the fecal Cd content was strongly enriched. In addition, EPS-AN8 reversed Cd-provoked effects on the most significant parameters of oxidative stress (MDA, CAT, GST, and GSH) and inflammation (IL-1β, TNF-α, and IFN-γ) in the duodenum. Moreover, micrographs of the duodenum were in line with these findings. As the gut microbiota has an important role in maintaining homeostasis, we used 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and investigated the effects of Cd and EPS-AN8 on one part of the microbiota presented in the duodenum. Although Cd decreased the growth of lactobacilli and mostly favored the blooming of opportunistic pathogen bacteria, parallel intake of EPS-AN8 reversed those changes. Therefore, our results imply that EPS-AN8 might be extremely noteworthy in combatting this toxic environmental pollutant.

AB  - Since the realization that the lungs are not sterile but are normally inhabited by various bacterial species, studies have been conducted to define healthy lung microbiota and to investigate whether it changes during lung diseases, infections, and inflammation. Using next-generation sequencing, we investigated bacterial microbiota from whole lungs in two rat strains (previously shown to differ in gut microbiota composition) in a healthy state and during pulmonary infection caused by the opportunistic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus. No differences in alpha diversity indices and microbial composition between DA and AO rats before infection were noted. Fungal infection caused dysbiosis in both rat strains, characterized by increased alpha diversity indices and unchanged beta diversity. The relative abundance of genera and species was increased in DA but decreased in AO rats during infection. Changes in lung microbiota coincided with inflammation (in both rat strains) and oxidative stress (in DA rats). Disparate response of lung microbiota in DA and AO rats to pulmonary fungal infection might render these two rat strains differentially susceptible to a subsequent inflammatory insult.

AB  - In this study, for the first time, the comprehensive analysis of antiproliferative and antioxidant activities of ramson, followed by the analysis of its associated microbiota and health-promoting effects of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), was performed. Ramson (Allium ursinum) is recognized as a medicinal plant with a long history of use in traditional medicine due to its antimicrobial and antioxidant activity. In this study the influence of in vitro gastrointestinal digestion on the cytotoxic activity of A. ursinum extracts against human malignant cell lines was demonstrated. Seven sulfur compounds, the degradation products of thiosulfinates, including diallyl disulfide were shown to inhibit proliferation of malignant cells by inducing accumulation within G2/M phase as well as to induce apoptosis through activation of caspase-3 and mitochondrial signaling pathway. Further, the A. ursinum microbiota, particularly LAB with potential probiotic effects, was analyzed by culture-dependent method and culture-independent method [denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE)]. The obtained results revealed that the most abundant genera were Streptococcus, Lactobacillus, and Bacillus. The Lactobacillus genus was mainly represented by L. fermentum. The pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) analysis revealed the presence of two PFGE pulsotypes. The probiotic potential of the strain L. fermentum BGSR163 belonging to PFGE pulsotype 1 and the strain L. fermentum BGSR227 belonging to the PFGE pulsotype 2 was characterized. The results revealed that both strains are safe for human use, successfully survive the simulated gastrointestinal conditions, have potential to transiently colonize the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and have a protective immunomodulatory effect, inducing the production of proinflammatory cytokine IL17 and regulatory cytokine IL10, while decreasing the production of proinflammatory cytokine IFN-gamma. In conclusion, the results of this study suggest that consumption of A. ursinum might have health-promoting properties, including anticancer effects, while L. fermentum strains isolated from A. ursinum leaves could be used as probiotics for human consumption.

AB  - Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system. The aim of this work was to study the probiotic effect of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-producer Lactobacillus brevis BGZLS10-17 on experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an experimental animal MS model. Clinical EAE symptoms were monitored in Dark Agouti (DA) rats treated with L. brevis BGZLS10-17 strain, or supernatant obtained from 48 h culture of L. brevis BGZLS10-17 cultivated in growth medium with or without GABA precursor monosodium glutamate (MSG). The results revealed that oral administration of L. brevis BGZLS10-17 alleviates the symptoms of EAE in DA rats. Namely, treatment with BGZLS10-17 and the supernatant of the strain cultivated in medium with MSG delayed the onset, shortened the duration, and reduced the intensity of the disease in the period when the EAE symptoms in controls were most pronounced. The probiotic treated animals were completely recovered after forty days, unlike the control animals. The results indicate that supplementation with live strain or with supernatant containing GABA produced by L. brevis BGZLS10-17 could alleviate the EAE symptoms. However, the use of L. brevis BGZLS10-17 in functional food as probiotic for autoimmune diseases should be tested in clinical trials.

AB  - Bosnian sudzuk is a dry fermented sausage produced in a rural household near the town of Visoko in central Bosnia and Herzegovina. This kind of sausage was manufactured only from beef and spices in a traditional way without the addition of a starter cultures. To identify lactic acid bacteria (LAB), a total number of 160 LAB strains were isolated from five samples of Bosnian sudzuk collected over 28 days of fermentation. Preliminary identification by phenotypic tests and 16S rDNA sequencing were performed for all 160 of the LAB isolates. Identification of LAB strains from traditionally produced Bosnian sausage at the species level revealed the presence of six genera: Lactococcus sp., Enterococcus sp., Leuconostoc sp., Lactobacillus sp., Pediococcus sp. and Weissella sp.. Among the 15 distinct species identified, the species Lactobacillus plantarum, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Lactococcus lactis, Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus durans were present throughout the entire process of fermentation. Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactococcus lactis prevailed, with 21.8%, 19.3% and 13.1%, respectively, of total LAB strains during the entire fermentation process. Significant negative correlations (r = 0.892 and r = 0.829, respectively) between the presence of Weissella sp. and Lactobacillus sp., and between the presence of Weissella sp. and Lactococcus sp. were recorded. Lactobacillus plantarum, Enterococcus durans and Leuconostoc mesenteroides were the best producers of aromogenic compounds while 32.3% of Lactobacillus plantarum and 28.6% of Leuconostoc mesenteroides were produced exopolysaccharides.

AB  - Enterococci represent the most controversial group of dairy bacteria. They are found to be the main constituent of many traditional Mediterranean dairy products and contribute to their characteristic taste and flavor. On the other hand, during the last 50 years antibiotic resistant enterococci have emerged as leading causes of nosocomial infections worldwide. The aim of this study was to determine the diversity, technological properties, antibiotic susceptibility and virulence traits of 636 enterococci previously isolated from 55 artisan dairy products from 12 locations in the Western Balkan countries (WBC) of Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. All strains were identified both by microbiological and molecular methods. The predominant species was Enterococcus durans, followed by Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium. Over 44% of the isolates were resistant to ciprofloxacin and erythromycin, while 26.2% of the isolates were multi resistant to three or more antibiotics belonging to different families. 185 isolates (29.1%) were susceptible to all 13 of the antibiotics tested. The antibiotic-susceptible isolates were further tested for possible virulence genes and the production of biogenic amines. Finally, five enterococci isolates were found to be antibiotic susceptible with good technological characteristics and without virulence traits or the ability to produce biogenic amines, making them possible candidates for biotechnological application as starter cultures in the dairy industry.

AB  - Bakterije mlečne kiseline (BMK) imaju veliku primenu u prehrambenoj industriji, posebno u proizvodnji fermentisanih mlečnih proizvoda i mesa. Najviše izučavana vrsta u okviru BMK je Lactococcus lactis. Sojevi koji pripadaju vrsti L. lactis su od izuzetnog značaja u proizvodnji fermentisanih mlečnih proizvoda poput kiselog mleka, maslaca, svežih sireva i nekih vrsta polutvrdih sireva. Iako se generalno laktokoke smatraju bezbednim mikroorganizmima, istraživanja ukazuju da mogu biti rezervoari gena za rezistenciju na antibiotike, koji se horizontalnim transferom mogu preneti na druge bakterijske vrste, uključujući i patogene. Pokazano je da se u membrani bakterija vrste L. lactis nalaze efluksne pumpe koje obezbeđuju rezistenciju na strukturno različite supstrate (eng. multidrug resistance transporters-MDR). Analizom genoma L. lactis detektovano je prisustvo 40 potencijalnih gena koji kodiraju MDR transportere, od čega su do danas svega četiri funkcionalno okarakterisana: LmrA, LmrP, LmrCD i CmbT. LmrA je prvi uopšte opisan primarni transporter kod prokariota. LmrCD obezbeđuje rezistenciju na holat koji ulazi u sastav žuči, što je značajno za preživljavanje laktokoka koje se primenjuju kao probiotici u digestivnom traktu ljudi i životinja. LmrP je sekundarni transporter i obezbeđuje rezistenciju na neke linkozamide, makrolide, streptogramine I tetracikline. CmbT je poslednji okarakterisan MDR transporter kod L. lactis i doprinosi rezistenciji na linkomicin, sulfonamidne antibiotike, sulfametoksazol i sulfadiazin, aminoglikozidni antibiotik streptomicin, aminonukleozidni antibiotik puromicin i semisintetski antibiotik rifampicin. Kako lanac hrane predstavlja važan put prenosa gena za rezistenciju u okviru ljudske i životinjske populacije, neophodno je intenzivno izučavanje mehanizama rezistencije kod laktokoka i drugih BMK namenjenih za upotrebu u prehrambenoj industriji.
AB  - Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are widely used in the food industry, especially in the pro­duction of fermented dairy products and meat. The most studied species among LAB is Lactococcus lactis. L. lactis strains are of great importance in the production of fermented dairy products such as yogurt, butter, fresh cheese and some kind of semi-hard cheese. Although L. lactis acquired the 'Generally Regarded As Safe' (GRAS) status, many investigations indicated that lactococci may act as reservoirs of antibiotic resistance genes, which could be transferred to other bacterial species in human gastrointestinal tract includ­ing pathogens. The genome analysis of L. lactis indicated the presence of at least 40 putative drug transporter genes, and only four multidrug resistance (MDR) transporters are functional­ly characterized: LmrA, LmrP, LmrCD i CmbT. LmrA is the first described MDR transport­er in prokaryotes. LmrCD is responsible for resistance to cholate, which is an integral part of human bile and LmrCD is important for intestinal survival of lactococci that are used as probiotics. Secondary multidrug transporter LmrP confers resistance to lincosamides, mac­rolides, streptogramins and tetracyclines. CmbT protein has an effect on the host cell re­sistance to lincomycin, sulfadiazine, streptomycin, rifampicin, puromycin and sulfametox­azole. Since the food chain is an important way of transmitting resistance genes in human and animal population, it is of great importance to study the mechanisms of resistance in lactococci and other LAB, intended for the food industry.

abstract = "Bakterije mlečne kiseline (BMK) imaju veliku primenu u prehrambenoj industriji, posebno u proizvodnji fermentisanih mlečnih proizvoda i mesa. Najviše izučavana vrsta u okviru BMK je Lactococcus lactis. Sojevi koji pripadaju vrsti L. lactis su od izuzetnog značaja u proizvodnji fermentisanih mlečnih proizvoda poput kiselog mleka, maslaca, svežih sireva i nekih vrsta polutvrdih sireva. Iako se generalno laktokoke smatraju bezbednim mikroorganizmima, istraživanja ukazuju da mogu biti rezervoari gena za rezistenciju na antibiotike, koji se horizontalnim transferom mogu preneti na druge bakterijske vrste, uključujući i patogene. Pokazano je da se u membrani bakterija vrste L. lactis nalaze efluksne pumpe koje obezbeđuju rezistenciju na strukturno različite supstrate (eng. multidrug resistance transporters-MDR). Analizom genoma L. lactis detektovano je prisustvo 40 potencijalnih gena koji kodiraju MDR transportere, od čega su do danas svega četiri funkcionalno okarakterisana: LmrA, LmrP, LmrCD i CmbT. LmrA je prvi uopšte opisan primarni transporter kod prokariota. LmrCD obezbeđuje rezistenciju na holat koji ulazi u sastav žuči, što je značajno za preživljavanje laktokoka koje se primenjuju kao probiotici u digestivnom traktu ljudi i životinja. LmrP je sekundarni transporter i obezbeđuje rezistenciju na neke linkozamide, makrolide, streptogramine I tetracikline. CmbT je poslednji okarakterisan MDR transporter kod L. lactis i doprinosi rezistenciji na linkomicin, sulfonamidne antibiotike, sulfametoksazol i sulfadiazin, aminoglikozidni antibiotik streptomicin, aminonukleozidni antibiotik puromicin i semisintetski antibiotik rifampicin. Kako lanac hrane predstavlja važan put prenosa gena za rezistenciju u okviru ljudske i životinjske populacije, neophodno je intenzivno izučavanje mehanizama rezistencije kod laktokoka i drugih BMK namenjenih za upotrebu u prehrambenoj industriji., Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are widely used in the food industry, especially in the pro­duction of fermented dairy products and meat.
