title: Probiotic properties and adsorption ofEnterococcus faecalisPSCT3-7 to vermiculite.
abstract: The probiotic properties ofEnterococcus(E.)faecalisPSCT3-7, a new strain isolated from the intestines of pigs fed dietary fiber containing 50% sawdust, were investigated.E. faecalisPSCT3-7 tolerated a pH range of 3 to 8 and 0.3% bile salts, and it inhibited the growth ofSalmonellaTyphimurium in a concentration-dependent manner. In addition,E. faecalisshowed resistance to several antibacterial agents. Vermiculite, a nutrient and microbial carrier, increased the bile tolerance of the strain. Scanning electron microscope images revealed good adsorption ofE. faecalisPSCT3-7 onto vermiculite.E. faecalisPSCT3-7 represents a potential probiotic candidate to administer with vermiculite to swine.
