Objective To explore the antagonistic ability of probiotic D-19 fermentation broth against pathogenic Entero-coccus,evaluate its antagonistic stability from multiple aspects,and provide a theoretical basis for exploring its potential probiotic properties and medical applications as microecologics.Methods Kirby-Bauer method was used to explore the antagonistic ability of probiotic D-19 fermentation broth against Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium.The fer-mentation conditions of it were optimized and the antagonistic stability was observed from viewpoints of physicochemical factors and preservation conditions.The antibacterial mechanism of probiotic D-19 was studied through biofilm formation experiments.Results The fermentation broth of probiotic D-19 and the supernatant of sterile bodies could inhibit the growth of E.faecalis and E.faecium,while the bacterial bodies themselves had no significant antibacterial effect.Under the optimized conditions of 1%inoculation in the culture medium,initial pH 7,and 24 hours of cultivation at 37 ℃,the fer-mentation broth of probiotic D-19 showed strong antagonistic ability against the two Enterococcus,with inhibition zone diameter of(24.70±0.71)mm and(22.57±0.43)mm against E.faecalis and E.faecium,respectively.At 40-50 ℃,there was no significant change in the ability of probiotic D-19 fermentation broth to antagonize E.faecalis and E.faecium.As the temperature and treatment time increased,its antagonism gradually decreased until finally lost.Similarly,probiotic D-19 fermentation broth exhibited stable antagonistic ability at pH 5-8.If the pH falls below or exceeds this range,it will gradually lose its antagonistic ability to E.faecalis and E.faecium;When the storage temperature was-20 ℃ and m=5,the antibacterial zone diameter of probiotic D-19 fermentation broth against E.faecalis and E.faecium decreased to(7.56±8.20)mm and(5.64±0.32)mm,respectively;When stored at a temperature of 4 ℃ and d=75,the size of inhibition zone against E.faecalis and E.faecium decreased to(10.02±0.91)mm and(6.62±0.55)mm,respectively;When the stor-age temperature was 25 ℃ and d=1 5,the size of inhibition zone against E.faecalis and E.faecium decreased to(8.26±0.42)mm and(5.99±0.35)mm,respectively.Co-cultivation of probiotic D-19 fermentation broth and two Enterococcus could significantly inhibit the formation of Enterococcus biofilm.Conclusion Probiotic D-19 fermentation broth has strong ant-agonistic ability against E.faecalis and E.faecium under optimal fermentation conditions,and the main antibacterial active ingredient is sterile supernatant.The sterile supernatant has certain acid-base stability and thermal stability,and can main-tain stable antagonistic ability in pH 5-8 and 40-50 ℃ environments.It is sensitive to strong acids,strong alkali and high heat.It can maintain antagonistic activity for 1-5 months under-20 ℃ conditions and not suitable for long-term storage at room temperature or 4 ℃.
