Abstract
This study investigated the synergistic effects of ε-poly- L -lysine (ε-PL) and lysozyme against P. aeruginosa and L. monocytogenes biofilms. Single-culture biofilms of two bacteria were formed on silicone rubber (SR), stainless steel (SS), and beef surfaces and then treated with lysozyme (0.05–5 mg/mL) and ε-PL at minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 1 to 4 separately or in combination. On the SR surface, P. aeruginosa biofilm was reduced by 1.4 and 1.9 log CFU/cm2 within 2 h when treated with lysozyme (5 mg/mL) and ε-PL (4 MIC), respectively, but this reduction increased significantly to 4.1 log CFU/cm2 (P < 0.05) with the combined treatment. On beef surface, P. aeruginosa and L. monocytogenes biofilm was reduced by 4.2–5.0, and 3.3–4.2 log CFU/g when lysozyme was combined with 1, 2, and 4 MIC of ε-PL at 25 °C, respectively. Compared to 5 mg/mL lysozyme alone, the combined treatment with 1, 2, and 4 MIC of ε-PL on beef surface achieved additional reduction against P. aeruginosa biofilm of 0.5, 0.8, and 0.7 log CFU/g, respectively, at 25 °C. In addition, 0.25 mg/mL lysozyme and 0.5 MIC of ε-PL significantly (P < 0.05) suppressed the quorum-sensing (agrA) and virulence-associated (hlyA and prfA) genes of L. monocytogenes.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Meat Science is to serve as a suitable platform for the dissemination of interdisciplinary and international knowledge on all factors influencing the properties of meat. While the journal primarily focuses on the flesh of mammals, contributions related to poultry will be considered if they enhance the overall understanding of the relationship between muscle nature and meat quality post mortem. Additionally, papers on large birds (e.g., emus, ostriches) as well as wild-captured mammals and crocodiles will be welcomed.
