Summary: | Lactic acid bacteria are the well acknowledged probiotics that can cure a variety of diseases. In this study, we observed the in vivo potentials of
Pediococcus
to treat hyperglycemia, hypercholesterolemia and gastrointestinal infections. A total of 77
Lactobacillus
were isolated from the milk of 10 cows and 10 goats, four of those strains inhibited both carbohydrates-hydrolyzing enzymes, α-glucosidase, and α-amylase. They all showed antagonistic effects on pathogenic
E. coli
and
S.
Typhimurium which were confirmed by performing pathogen challenge test and visualizing on Electron microscopy. 16S rRNA gene sequence identified that all four strains belong to
Pediococcu
s genus which were further distinguished as
Pediococcus acidilactici
by
phe
S gene sequence. Whole genome sequence analysis revealed their non-pathogenic properties for human and the presence of probiotic genes responsible for stress resistance, immunomodulation, adhesion, metal and drug resistance. In vivo trial with diabetes-induced mice ascertained that all
Pediococcus acidilactici
had significant potentials to reduce elevated glucose and low-density lipoprotein level in blood. Interestingly, two out of four strains were significantly more effective (p < 0.0001 each) than metformin in reducing the blood glucose level. This in vivo study demonstrated that
Pediococcus acidilactici
might be a promising probiotic to prevent hyperglycemia, hypercholesterolemia and gastrointestinal infections. |
