Abstract
Several works were shown the effect in vitro of lactic acid bacteria on pathogenic
strains responsible for human gastroenteritis. This work aims to seek strains of lactic
acid bacteria could inhibit in vitro the growth of pathogenic bacteria involved in
gastroenteritis and analyze organic acids responsible of this inhibition. Interactions in

pathogenic bacteria (E. coli and S. typhi). The best inhibition zones of E.coli are found
Received 11May 2017, with Lp (diameter = 10 mm) and St*+ Lb*+ Bl (diameter = 10 mm). For S.typhi, the
Revised 25 July 2017, combinations St3 + Lb1+ Bl and St2 + Lp +Bl have the major inhibitory effect
Accepted 28 July 2017 (diameters of 8 mm and 7 mm, respectively). HPLC method confirmed the presence of
lactic acid in bacterial cultures used in this study.
Keywords: HPLC; lactic acid bacteria; Salmonella typhi; Escherichia coli; organic acids.
2. Experimental
Lactic acid bacteria:
Streptococcus thermophilus (St1, St2, St3) and Lactobacillus bulgaricus (Lb1, Lb2, Lb3) isolated from raw
cow's milk and identified in the laboratory lactologie, Department of Food Science, University of Chlef.
Streptococcus thermophilus (St *), Lactobacillus acidophilus (Lb *), Bifidobacterium longum (Bl) and
Bifidobacterium adolescentis (Ba); isolated from stools of children and identified in Molecular Biology
laboratory, University of Bejaia.
Lactobacillus paracasei1 (LP) isolated from cow's milk and identified in laboratory lactologie, University
Pamplona - Navara Spain.
Both strains are kept frozen at-18ºC in reconstituted milk. A few microliters of bacteria is transplanting in 10 ml of
milk. The incubation is done at:
45oC for strains Streptococcus thermophilus; Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Lactobacillus acidophilus [5];
37oC for Bifidobacterium adolescentis and Bifidobacterium longum [6];
30oC for Lactobaccilus paracasei 1 [6].
After 72h , 1ml of each tube was raised aseptically in 9 ml of MRS broth for Lb.ac, 9 ml of M17 (Terzaghi and
Sandine) broth for Sc.tr , then incubated for 3h. The streptococci was counted in M17 agar [7], the lactobacilli in MRS
(De Man, Rogosa and Sharpe) agar [7] and the bifidobacteria in MRS(De Man, Rogosa and Sharpe) agar cysteine [8]
. The cultures was mixed by using combinations with Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus,
Pathogens bacteria:
Two very common bacterial pathogens in Ain Defla were isolated of stools samples in Hektoen agar: Escherichia coli
responsible of diarrhea children and Salmonella typhi of typhoid fever [10]. After culture at 37oC for 24 h, E. coli
colonies are flat, dry, and yellow with salmon center; Salmonella colonies are green with a black center.
Quantitative analysis:
In bacterial cultures we detect only the lactic acid. According to the results (Tab.4), we can record a quantities of
lactic acid secreted by Lp (0.069 g / L), St*+ Lb*+ Bl (0.075 g / L), St3 + Lb1+ BL (0.070 g / L) and St2 + Lp+ BL
(0.077 g / L).
4. Conclusion
The interaction of lactic acid bacteria that have given the best microbial loads after counting and isolated pathogenic
bacteria showed inhibitions in pure and mixed cultures. Lactobacillus bulgaricus 2, Bifidobacterium longum and
Lactobacillus bulgaricus 1, St2 + Lp, St3 + Lb1, St1 + Lb3, St* + Lb3, St1 + Lb1 and St* + Lb* gave high levels of
bacteria among all pure and mixed cultures of lactic acid bacteria enumerated. The addition of bifidobacteria to six
best combinations, counting from mixed cultures, gave higher bacterial loads with Bifidobacterium longum. The
cultures L. paracasei 1 (Lp) and St*+ Lb*+ Bl have a significant inhibitory effect of Escherichia coli. For Salmonella
typhi, the results of interactions showed the best zones of inhibition with St3 + Lb1+ Bl and St2 + Lp + Bl. The
qualitative and quantitative analysis of organic acids by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was
confirmed the presence of lactic acid in supernatants cultures and it may be alone or in combination with other
substances responsible in the inhibition of E. coli and S. typhi.
