ABSTRACT:
The strain of micro-organismLactobacillus fermentumME-3 is a novel anti-microbial and anti-oxidative probiotic. It has a high anti-microbial effect onEscherichia coli, Shigella sonnei, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhimurium,and moderate activity againstHelicobacter pyloristrains. The strain of micro-organism possesses Mn-superoxide dismutase and both its lysates and intact cells have high anti-oxidative activity, increasing the glutathione red-ox ratio in blood sera and able to capture toxic hydroxyl radicals. The strain of micro-organism could be used as a probiotic for the production of functional food (yoghurt, cheese) and non-comestibles (tablets, capsules) for the prophylaxis of intestinal and uroinfections, both for the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases, caused by prolonged oxidative stress.
