Eugenol in combination with lactic acid bacteria attenuates virulence and in invertebrate model Free

Abstract

is a human enteric pathogen that causes severe foodborne illness in high-risk populations. Crossing the intestinal barrier is the first critical step for infection. Therefore, reducing colonization and invasion of intestinal epithelium and production of virulence factors could potentially control listeriosis in humans. This study investigated the efficacy of sub-inhibitory concentration (SIC) of the plant-derived antimicrobial eugenol, either alone, or in combination with five lactic acid bacteria (LAB), namely (NRRL-B41410), (B-14172), (B-1840), (B-4496) and subspecies (B-633) in reducing adhesion to and invasion of human intestinal epithelial cells (Caco-2). Additionally, the effect of the aforementioned treatments on listeriolysin production, epithelial E-cadherin binding and expression of virulence genes was investigated. Moreover, the efficacy of eugenol-LAB treatments in reducing virulence in the invertebrate model was studied. Eugenol and LAB, either alone or in combination, significantly reduced adhesion to and invasion of intestinal cells (< 0.05). Moreover, eugenol-LAB treatments decreased haemolysin production, E-cadherin binding and virulence gene expression (< 0.05). In addition, the eugenol-LAB treatments significantly enhanced the survival rates of infected with lethal doses of (< 0.05). The results highlight the antilisterial effect of eugenol either alone or in combination with LAB, and justify further investigations in a mammalian model.
