Objectives: The aims of the present study were to compare the effect of co-incubation, pre-incubation and supernatant of sixteen probiotic strains on prevention of enteroinvasive E. coli adhesion. Materials and Methods: Probiotic strains were added to Caco-2 cells followed by E. coli in pre-incubation assay. Tested strains and enteroinvasive E. coli were added to cell lines at the same time in co-incubation assay. Finally, enteroinvasive E. coli was treated with bacteria free supernatant of test strains then added to cell line in treatment with bacteria free supernatant assay. Results: This study showed that the most effective assays in prevention of pathogen adherence were treatment with bacteria free supernatant and pre-incubation respectively. Conclusions: The effect of probiotic bacteria by-products on pathogen exclusion may be of more importance in protecting the host. Therefore, gut colonization or at least persistent presence of probiotics may be helpful in infection prevention.

Background Prevention of adverse microbial colonisation is supposed to be the most important beneficial effect of the gut microflora. Probiotic bacteria can change the intestinal normal flora from a potentially harmful microflora towards a beneficial composition (1, 2). Adhesion, competitive exclusion capacity, immunomodulation, and prevention of gastrointestinal epithelium from infection are important criteria for selection of probiotic bacteria (3-5). The effectiveness of probiotics on pathogen inhibition has been reported in vitro and in vivo (4). Co-incubation of probiotics and pathogens decreased the number of ureolytic pathogen and completely inhibited its urease activity (6). Pre-incubation of human intestinal cell lines, HT29 and Caco-2, with Lactobacillus acidophilus reduced adhesion and invasion of enteroinvasive E. coli to the cell lines, whereas co-incubation of probiotic and pathogen had less significant preventative effects (7). Pre-incubation of Bifidobacterium strains were effective on pathogens exclusion from human intestinal mucus (8). The bactericidal activity and adhesion prevention of bacteria free supernatant (bfs) of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) against Helicobacter pylori was reported by Lin and co-workers (9). The potential mechanisms by which probiotics can exert their beneficial effects were reported limiting the access of harmful bacteria to host mucosal surfaces, by steric hindrance and altering the response of the host to microbial attack (10). The alteration of the microenvironment or interference of probiotic bacteria with the signaling cascades triggered by the pathogen, are important as well (11). For investigation of the mechanisms by which probiotic can inhibit pathogen adhesion, different methods and cell lines has been used. However, there are no comparisons between different methods on pathogen adhesion Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education: Probiotics are a group of microorganisms that beneficially affect the host. Adhesion, competitive exclusion capacity, immunomodulation, and prevention of gastrointestinal epithelium from infection are important criteria for selection of probiotic bacteria. For investigation of the mechanisms by which probiotic can inhibit pathogen adhesion, different methods and cell lines has been used. However, there are no comparisons between different methods on pathogen adhesion prevention. In the present study, the effect of probiotic bacteria on Enter invasive E. coli (EIEC) adhesion was evaluated to find the most preventive underlying mechanism of these strains against EIEC.

Objectives In the present study, the effect of sixteen putative probiotic bacteria on enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC) adhesion was evaluated to find the most preventive underlying mechanism of these strains against EIEC. 3. Materials and Methods 3.1. Bacterial Strains, Cultivation Conditions and Preparation Eleven adhesive strains were isolated either from pharmaceutical or dairy products and identified using biochemical and molecular methods. Methods of probiotic isolation, identification and adherence were used according to Haeri et al. (12). Lactobacilli strains were L. acidophilus isolated from advanced acidophilus plus Solgar Ltd. (named 1C2), Quest Digestive Aids Quest Vitamines Ltd. (2C1), Multibionta Seven Seas Ltd. (4C1) and Health Aid acidophilus Pharmadas Ltd. (5C1), L. Plantarum isolated from children chewy Acidophilus/ Chewy Bears and friends American Health Ltd. (6C3), L. Brevis Betta buy low fat fruit flavour yoghurt Morrison’s (1D2), L. Sanfrancisco Low fat natural yoghurt Morrison’s (2D3), L. Casei (Shirota) Yakult fermented drink (6D2) and three bifidobacterium spps isolated from Active Danone France (7D1), Vitality yogurt Müller (8D1) and Probiotic low fat yogurt Tesco (9D1). Five type strains purchased from NCIMB were Lactobacillus acidophilus (L. acidophilusT) NCIMB 701748, Lactobacillus casei rhamnosus (L. rhamnosusT) NCIMB 8010, Lactobacillus casei subspecies casei (L. casei T) NCIMB 11970, Bifidobacterium bifidum (B. bifidumT) NCIMB 702715 and Bifidobacterium longum (B. longumT) NCIMB 702259. Lactobacilli strains were cultivated on MRS broth at 37 °C on air for 24 hours. Bifidobacteria were cultivated on TPY broth at 37 °C anaerobically using Genbox for 24 hours. E. coli G24 enteroinvasive (EIEC) with localised pattern of adherence kindly donated by Dr. J. Fletcher from teaching collection of University of Bradford, UK. Pathogen strains were cultured on LB broth at 37 °C on air for 24 hours. All test strains were centrifuged, washed twice with PBS and resuspend on culture medium at density of 1×107/ ml before each assay. 3.2. Cell Line Culture Caco-2 cells (CB No: 02D052) were bought at passage number 7 from ECCAC, grown in Minimum Essential Medium (Sigma M 2279), Foetal calf serum (Lablech 4-101500) 10%, Non-essential amino acid solution (Sigma M 7145) 1%, L-Glutamine (GIBCO 25030-024) 1% and penicilInt J Entric Pathog. 2014;1(2) lin 10,000 unit/ml & streptomycin 10,000 µg/ml (GIBCO 15140-122) 1% (all concentrations are v/v). After second passage from thawed cells, Caco-2 cells were sub-cultured at a density of 5 × 103 cells / ml into 12-well plates (Corning / Costar 3513) plus 2 ml cell culture medium, with a coverslip (16 mm diameter, BDH, 406/89/22) at the bottom of each well and incubated at 37 °C / 5% CO2. The cell culture medium was replaced every other day. Cells were ready for use after reaching the confluecy, between days 13 - 21 after cultivation. A total of at least 100 tissue culture cells in the fields at the corners (not near the edge of the coverslip) and center of a coverslip were used to count the number of adherent pathogen and putative probiotic bacteria. These values were used for further analysis. Wells with either only pathogen, only test strain, only Caco-2 cells or no bacteria-no cell line, acted as controls and the number of adherent bacteria per 100 tissue culture cells was recorded. All experiments were carried out in duplicate on three separate occasions. 3.3. Prevention of Pathogen Adherence by Probiotics 3.3.1. Co-incubation Assay In this assay potential probiotics and the pathogen, EIEC E. coli G24, were added to the tissue culture monolayer simultaneously to provide a competitive adherence assay. One hundred micro liters of each of the two prepared bacterial strains, contained 1×106 colony forming unit (cfu), were resuspended in 1800 micro liters tissue culture medium without antibiotics, then added simultaneously to the cell monolayers and incubated at 37 °C in 5% CO2 for 3 hours. Wells with either only pathogen acted as controls. All experiments were carried out in duplicate on three separate occasions. The media and unattached bacteria were aspirated and the coverslips were washed, fixed, and stained using a standard Gram stain method (13). The stained coverslips were removed from the wells, dehydrated and then allowed to dry. The side of the coverslip with the attached cells was mounted on a light microscope slide using Histomount (VWR 362622L) (14). 3.3.2. Pre-incubation Assay To study the effect of probiotic bacteria already adherent to the tissue culture cells on the prevention of pathogen adherence, lactobacilli or bifidobacteria were incubated with the tissue culture cells, before pathogen was added. Cells lines were prepared as described previously. The medium was removed and cells were washed twice with PBS. Then 150 µl of overnight culture of potential probiotics, prepared as described previously, were added to each well and incubated at 37 °C in 5 % CO2. After 3 hours the well content was aspirated and 37 Ghaderian SMH et al. cells were washed twice with PBS then 2 ml standard cell culture media was added. One hundred and fifty microliters of overnight culture of E. coli G24 contained 1×106 cfu was prepared as before, added to each well and incubated for a further 3 hrs at 37 °C in 5 % CO2 after which coverslips were prepared for analysis. 3.4. Treatment of Pathogen with bfs To evaluate the effect of bacteria free supernatant from lactobacilli and bifidobacteria on adherence of E. coli G24, 15 ml of an overnight culture of lactobacilli or bifidobacteria in MRS contained 1×109 cfu, was centrifuged at 8000g for 30 min. The supernatant was filter sterilized using a 0.2-µm pore-size filters (SARSTED 83.1826.001). Then 150 µl of E. coli G24 (EIEC) was added to each sterile supernatant and incubated at 37 °C in a shaking incubator (Gallenkamp Orbital Incubator, England) for 2 hours. The bacteria were then harvested by centrifugation (8000 g / 15 min), washed 3 times with PBS, and aliquots used for either a viability check or added to T84 cells or Caco-2 cell monolayers. Cell lines were then incubated at 37 °C in 5 % CO2 for 3 hours and coverslips were prepared and analyzed. EIEC with no treatment acted as control. The viability of E. coli was checked after incubation of E. coli with bfs of all test strains by preparation of decimal dilutions and plating out of 0.1 ml of each dilution. The colonies formed in each plate were counted visually after overnight incubation. 3.5. Statistical Analysis To test if there is any difference in the level of adherence of pathogen when it is co-incubated with probiotic or if the probiotic is present beforehand, results were analyzed using the unpaired Student’s t test. In this statistical analysis, the difference between the mean number of probiotic and pathogen adherent to the both assays were compared. Thus the effect of co-incubation or pre-incubation on the number of probiotic or pathogen cells attached to the cell line was evaluated. All results were reported as mean ± SEM and a value of P < 0.05 was considered as significant. All experiments were carried out in duplicate on three separate occasions. All experiments were carried out in duplicate on three separate occasions. cubation or pre-incubation assays. The results showed that after 3 hours of co-incubation the number of E. coli attached was significantly reduced compared to the control with all strains except 5 out of 16 strains (Figure 1 A). These strains were 2C1 (L. acidophilus), 7D1 (Bifidobacterium sp.), 8D1 (Bifidobacterium sp.) and 9D1 (Bifidobacterium sp.) and L. CaseiT (Table 1). In the pre-incubation assay format, the number of E. coli attached to Caco-2 cells was significantly reduced with all strains compared to the control except 3 out of 16 strains (Figure 1 B). These strains were 5C1 (L. Acidophilus), L. acidophilus T , B. Longum T (Table 1). The number of adhering pathogen significantly decreased after treatment of E. coli G24 with bacteria free supernatant of all test strains. Incubation of E. coli G24 with bacteria free supernatant of test strain for 2 hours at 37 °C resulted in a significant decrease in adherence of pathogen. Isolates 5C1 (L. acidophilus) and 6C3 (L. plantarum) gave less inhibitory effects compared to other isolate (Table 1). All results are mean of six experiments. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM, 4.2. Comparison of Co-Incubation and Pre-Incubation Methods The isolates 2C1 (L. acidophilus), 7D1 (Bifidobacterium sp.), 8D1 (Bifidobacterium sp.), 9D1 (Bifidobacterium sp.) and L. casei decreased the number of pathogen cells adhering in the pre-incubation but not co-incubation assay (Table 2). 7 out of 16 strains, the number of adherent E. coli to the cell lines after pre incubation was significantly less than after co-incubation (Table 2). Co-incubation and pre-incubation had much reduced response compared to treatment of E. coli with culture supernatant on pathogen adherence prevention. Figure 1. Adhesion of Enteroinvasive E. Coli Attached to Caco-2 Cells, in the Co-incubation 4. Results 4.1. Prevention of Pathogen Adherence When reading slides it was noted that pathogen attached either on different sites on one cell, in different cells or at the same place as probiotic bacteria. Precise observation around the slide did not show any particular pattern of co-adherence. Lactobacilli or bifidobacteria were not able to exclude pathogen completely in co-in38 (A) and pre-incubation (B) assays of 5C1 (L. acidophilus), observed using light microscopy (x100 magnification), after Gram staining, (E.coli: gram negative, light red rod and L. acidophilus: Gram positive, dark purple rod).

All test strains had better adherence with the pre-incubation method when they had opportunity to adhere in the absence of a pathogen compared to the co-incubation method (Table 3). Table 3.

Discussion An important aspect of the function of probiotic bacteria is the protection of the host gastrointestinal micro-environment from invading pathogens (15). It is believed that the gastrointestinal microflora in vivo provides protection for the host against colonization by pathogenic bacteria (15, 16). The methodology used in the present study helps us to distinguish between the effects of substances in the culture media or effects due to live bacteria. For evaluation of test strains on pathogen adherence to the cell lines, we used light microscopy of stained cell sheets and counted the number of bacteria adherent to 100 cells of the cell line. The microscopic method was used previously by others (17, 18). Lee et al. (19) indicated that the direct microscopic counting and radioactive label measurement gave comparable results. This method allows the differentiation of the different bacterial types on the cell culture surface without the risk of radiolabel usage. Counting is time consuming and may not be as accurate as radiolabeling methods. The present study showed that bacteria free 40 95 ± 15b 70 ± 15b 39 ± 7a 25 ± 8a supernatant of all isolates either prevent completely or considerably decreased the adherence of E. coli to Caco-2 cells. The methodology used in this work and the results were similar to that of other authors (20). This antibacterial effect could be due to bacteriocin-like substances, but exhibiting much broader activity and produced by a range of species of lactobacilli. Also we cannot exclude the effect of low pH, production of organic acids and hydrogen peroxide (21-23). So it is possible that use of probiotic strains as starter cultures for fermented foods may subsequently prevent pathogen adherence to the host cells. Pre-incubation was more effective than co-incubation in prevention of pathogen adherence, where co-incubation was not effective in prevention of pathogen adherence, pre-incubation assay was effective in that. The exceptions were type strains L. acidophilus and B. longum. The adherence of these strains to the Caco-2 cells were poor, so, in the final part of the assay there were few of that type strains but high numbers of pathogen. The effect of co-incubation and pre-incubation is in agreement with other authors' results (3). Comparison of the number of adhered probiotic to the cell line, in the presence or absent of pathogen was not noted by other authors. In the present work we enumerInt J Entric Pathog. 2014;1(2) Ghaderian SMH et al. ated the adherent probiotic strains after co-incubation assays and compared them with the number of adherent bacteria when added alone. Statistical analysis of results showed that the values for test strains were mainly higher for pre-incubation than co-incubation assay. In the other words, pathogen may exclude or compete with probiotics for adhering. One possible reason is put forward by Lee et al. (19). They co-incubated L. casei Shirota and L. rhamnosus GG with E. coli TG and observed that these lactobacilli were excluded when incubated together by E. coli adhering to cells. They explained this effect by the theory that the turnover of some bacteria adhering to cells is more rapid compared to others and any detached strain were readily replaced by surrounding E. coli in the culture medium (14). This observation is in agreement with in vitro, human and animal studies where lactobacilli are gradually replaced by enterobacteria after the intake of lactobacilli was discontinued (24, 25). So it can be hypothesized that administration of probiotics with infected food may be less effective than if the gut has previously been colonized with probiotics. The method described here was investigated as an in vitro model whilst the gut is a very complicated ecosystem and the effectiveness of an isolate will be affected by bacterial interactions, host immunity and diet and antibiotics. Luyer et al. investigated two probiotic strains of L. rhamnosus and L. fermentum in vitro and in vivo. Both strains were able to inhibit the adherence of E. coli to the Caco-2 cell line and in rat, they reported that there is a correlation between in vivo and in vitro study (26). In conclusion, using probiotic bacteria to colonize gut with adhering probiotics or at least persistence presence of probiotics before probable infection may be helpful in infection prevention. The effectiveness of probiotics may depend upon the actual pathogen ingested. To investigate the true effectiveness of an isolate, in vivo assays are necessary, but this work enables selection of strains with well-defined properties for specific use.
