Evaluation of the antibacterial activity of Weissella confusa K3 cell-free supernatant against extended-spectrum βeta lactamase (ESBL) producing uropathogenic Escherichia coli U60

Different strategies have been approved for controlling extended-spectrum βeta lactamase (ESBL) producing uropathogenic bacteria. The antibacterial activity of Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) is an effective strategy due to its probiotic characteristics and beneficial effects on human health. The antibio...

description Different strategies have been approved for controlling extended-spectrum βeta lactamase (ESBL) producing uropathogenic bacteria. The antibacterial activity of Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) is an effective strategy due to its probiotic characteristics and beneficial effects on human health. The antibiotic susceptibility test, disk diffusion method, and double disc synergy test indicated that five enteric uropathogenic isolates were ESBL producers during the present study. They recorded diameters of inhibition zones as ≤ 18, ≤ 8, ≤ 19, and ≤ 8 mm against cefotaxime (CTX), ceftazidime (CAZ), aztreonam (ATM), and ceftriaxone (CRO). Genotypically, blaTEM genes are the most common, with (100 %) occurrence in all the five enteric tested uropathogens, followed by blaSHV and blaCTX genes (60 %). In addition, out of 10 LAB isolates from dairy products, the CFS of isolate no. K3 had high antibacterial activity against the tested ESBLs, especially no. U60, with a MIC of 600 µl. Additionally, the MIC and sub-MIC of K3 CFS inhibited the production of antibiotic-resistant bla TEM genes of U60. Analyzing the 16S rRNA sequence confirmed that the most potent ESBL-producing bacteria (U60) and LAB (K3) isolates were identified as Escherichia coli U60.1 and Weissella confuse K3 with accession numbers MW173246 and MW173299.1, respectively, in GenBank.
