ABSTRACT

A total of eight strains of Lactobacillus and two strains of Salmonella were isolated from free-range Malaysian chickens intestine. Evaluation based on in vitro studies included aggregation, co-aggregation, growth with bile salts, tolerance to acidic pH, and inhibitory activity were carried out. The isolated Lactobacillus were Lactobacillus fermentum IA, Lactobacillus fermentum IB, Lactobacillus fermentum IC, Lactobacillus fermentum ID, Lactobacillus salivarius subsp. salicinus IE, Lactobacillus salivarius subsp. salicinus IF, Lactobacillus salivarius subsp. salivarius IG, and Lactobacillus spp. IH. The corresponding isolated Salmonella were Salmonella spp. 3B21 and Salmonella spp. 1A12. The ability of aggregation and also tolerance to pH 2.5 are found in Lactobacillus fermentum ID, Lactobacillus salivarius subsp. salicinus IF, Lactobacillus salivarius subsp. salivarius IG, and Lactobacillus spp. IH. The isolate most resistance to 1% bile salts is Lactobacillus fermentum ID but observed to be weak in inhibitory activity against Salmonella spp. The best co-aggregation and strongest inhibitory activity against Salmonella spp. was observed in Lactobacillus salivarius subsp. salivarius IG. Despite being not so resistant in the presence of bile salts 0.5 and 1% (w/v), the lag time in the presence of bile salts 0.3% (w/v) of Lactobacillus salivarius subsp. salivarius IG and also for Lactobacillus spp. IH are the shortest. Based on good aggregation properties, the best co-aggregation, tolerance to acidic pH 2.5 and bile salts 0.3% (w/v) and strongest inhibitory activity against Salmonella spp., Lactobacillus salivarius subsp. salivarius IG comes out as the best candidate as probiotic for chicken.

ABSTRAK

Sebanyak lapan strain Lactobacillus dan dua strain Salmonella dipencilkan daripada usus ayam kampung Malaysia. Penilaian berdasarkan kajian in vitro seperti ujian agregasi, koagregasi, kerintangan terhadap garam hempedu, kerintangan terhadap pH asid, dan ujian aktiviti perencatan telah dilakukan. Pencilan Lactobacillus tersebut ialah Lactobacillus fermentum IA, Lactobacillus fermentum IB, Lactobacillus fermentum IC, Lactobacillus fermentum ID, Lactobacillus salivarius subsp. salicinus IE, Lactobacillus salivarius subsp. salicinus IF, Lactobacillus salivarius subsp. salivarius IG, dan Lactobacillus spp. IH. Sedangkan pencilan salmonella yang didapatkan ialah Salmonella spp. 3B21 and Salmonella spp. 1A12. Kemampuan agregasi dan juga ketahanan terhadap pH 2.5 dijumpai pada Lactobacillus fermentum ID, Lactobacillus salivarius subsp. salicinus IF, Lactobacillus salivarius subsp. salivarius IG, dan Lactobacillus spp. IH. Pencilan yang paling tahan terhadap garam hempedu 1% ialah Lactobacillus fermentum ID, tetapi Lactobacillus tersebut menunjukkan aktiviti perencatan yang lemah terhadap Salmonella spp. Koagregasi terbaik dan aktiviti perencatan yang paling kuat terhadap Salmonella spp. dijumpai pada Lactobacillus salivarius subsp. salivarius IG. Meskipun tidak begitu tahan di dalam kehadiran garam hempedu 0.5 dan 1% (w/v), masa lag Lactobacillus salivarius subsp. salivarius IG dan juga Lactobacillus spp. IH di dalam kehadiran garam hempedu 0.3% (w/v) adalah yang paling singkat. Berdasarkan ciri-ciri agregasi yang baik, koagregasi yang terbaik, kerintangan terhadap pH 2.5 dan garam hempedu 0.3% (w/v), serta aktiviti perencatan yang paling kuat terhadap Salmonella spp., Lactobacillus salivarius subsp. salivarius IG keluar sebagai calon terbaik probiotik ayam.

Kata kunci: Aktiviti perencatan; ayam kampung Malaysia; Lactobacillus; Salmonella
