The Synbiotic Effect of Probiotics and Dried Spirulina platensis or Phycocyanin on Biofilm Formation by Salmonella Typhimurium and Staphylococcus aureus
This study aimed to evaluate the synbiotic effect of probiotics and dried Spirulina platensis or phycocyanin on autoaggregation, coaggregation, and the inhibition of biofilm formation by Salmonella Typhimurium and Staphylococcus aureus on 96-well microtiter plates and Human colon carcinoma cells-116 surfaces. The results showed that the probiotics strains cultured in the presence of S. platensis exhibited the highest autoaggregation values, ranging between 68.5 and 74.2% after 24 h. All probiotic strains with or without S. platensis and phycocyanin showed coaggregation abilities with S. Typhimurium and S. aureus. Interestingly, significant effect of S. platensis and phycocyanin supplementation was observed on the inhibition of the biofilm formation by the selected pathogens during the competition, exclusion, and displacement on abiotic and biotic surfaces.
