title: Screening from pickled vegetables the potential probiotic strains of lactic acid bacteria able to inhibit the Salmonella invasion in mice.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To screen from pickled vegetables the potential probiotic lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains with antagonistic activity against Salmonella invasion in host.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Probiotic properties including acid and bile tolerance as well as inhibition on pathogenic bacteria were used for screening of LAB strains from pickled vegetables. Two strains, i.e Pediococcus pentosaceus MP12 and Lactobacillus plantarum LAP6, were selected and further assayed for their activities against Salmonella invasion in mouse liver and spleen. For these two LAB strains, strain LAP6 was able to adhere to the mouse intestinal epithelium cells.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  In screening of the probiotic strains able to inhibit the Salmonella invasion in host, factors other than the adherence to host intestinal epithelium may contribute some roles.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Probiotic LAB strains with activity against Salmonella invasion in host could be isolated from vegetable origins. These strains may be used for vegetable processing.
