Novel tolerant probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum Probio-38 that can suppresses the growth of pathogenic microorganisms and TGE with swine infectious gastroenteritis (TGE) coronavirus and harmful microbial inhibitory activity P robio-3 8 coronavirus}

Figure 1 shows the 16S rRNA gene sequence of the strain Lactobacillus plantarum Probio-38 (KCCM-10329) of the present invention.

The present invention relates to a novel Lactobacillus plantarum Probio-38 having a transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE) coronavirus and harmful microbial inhibitory activity, and more particularly, to a probiotic containing the same. Lactobacillus plantarum Probio-38, a novel microorganism isolated from the stomach of a pig, resistant to the growth of swine infectious gastroenteritis (TGE) coronavirus and harmful microorganisms while having acid, bile acid and antibiotic resistance. The present invention relates to a probiotic active agent containing and a method for preventing and treating livestock diarrhea disease using the same.

TGE, an important infectious gastroenteritis that occurs at domestic and overseas pig breeding sites, is a type of diarrheal disease that kills 80-90% of mammal pigs and more than 20% of piglets. It is a disease that inhibits growth by losing appetite in growing pigs and adult pigs. These diseases are caused by coronaviruses that live in pig farms and the natural environment, and the damage is further increased due to secondary infection by E. coli. Swine infectious gastroenteritis diarrhea is a viral disease, so antibiotics do not provide a therapeutic effect against coronavirus and only antimicrobial effects can be expected. However, the global trend to avoid the abuse of antibiotics and the problem that the transfer of residual antibiotics in meat to the human body has occurred, the need for antibiotic replacement is urgently required. In addition, although vaccines are used to prevent infection of porcine infectious gastroenteritis (TGE) coronavirus, there is a problem that side effects may occur due to the use of vaccines.

Various microorganisms exist in the intestine of the human body and the animal, forming a microbial flora in the intestine. Such microorganisms include beneficial microorganisms, such as lactic acid bacteria, which are known to be useful for host animals, and conversely, microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Staphylococcus, etc., which have direct or potential harmful effects on the host. In the case of the human body and animals, when the intestinal microbial flora is destroyed by an increase in stress, infection of harmful bacteria, and changes in the external environment, the growth of harmful microorganisms causes a rapid growth of the host animal and worsens the health of the host animal. These changes can progress from diarrhea to even mortality, in which antibiotics are administered for therapeutic purposes, and the antibiotics used remain in the host rather than completely excreted in vitro. You will become resistant and you will not be able to treat them effectively. In addition, in the case of livestock, the restrictions on the remaining amount of antibiotics such as meat, milk, eggs, etc. are becoming stricter, and the use and abuse of antibiotics has been raised as a problem to be improved.

As an alternative, there is a growing interest in probiotics, probiotics. Probiotics, a probiotic, are prepared by separating beneficial microorganisms that live in the intestine of humans or animals. Aerobic bacteria, anaerobic bacteria, lactic acid bacteria and yeasts are used, but lactic acid bacteria are used as the main strains. These lactic acid bacteria have traditionally been used in a variety of food fermentation and processing processes, and their stability has long been recognized and the US FDA has included some of them on the General Recognized as Safe (GRAS) list. Therefore, probiotic probiotics using lactic acid bacteria can not cause side effects that can occur due to antibiotic abuse, suppress the abnormal fermentation of harmful gut bacteria, maintain a stable intestinal flora and reduce diseases due to infection of harmful microorganisms. In addition, continuous administration of probiotic can increase feed efficiency and increase weight by maintaining health. For effective use as a probiotic it is very important to have acid and bile acid resistance as well as inhibitory activity against harmful microorganisms. After the probiotic is administered to the animal, it meets gastric juice, which is a strong acid, until it reaches the intestine, followed by bile acids.

Since these gastric juices and bile acids generally kill or deactivate bacteria, the bioactive agents administered must have the properties to withstand gastric juices and bile acids in order to reach the intestines and function properly.

To date, various types of lactic acid bacteria have been published as probiotic probiotics, and bioactive agents identified as Lactobacillus plantarum , which have the properties of acid and bile acid resistance and suppress harmful microorganisms, have also been reported (Handbook of Probiotics / Yuan-Kun Lee ... [et al.] .John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 1999, pp. 4-6).

The present inventors have attempted to search for new probiotic agents that can more effectively inhibit harmful microorganisms than existing probiotic agents, have acid and bile acid resistance, and particularly inhibit the growth of swine infectious gastroenteritis (TGE) coronavirus. As a result, we have anaerobicly isolated and identified strains that have excellent inhibitory activity against harmful microorganisms, acid and bile acid resistance, and can effectively inhibit the growth of swine infectious gastroenteritis (TGE) coronavirus from the stomach of pigs. The present invention was completed by confirming that the strain is Lactobacillus plantarum .

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide novel microorganisms that are harmless to humans and animals and are excellent in acid and bile resistance.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a probiotic-containing composition capable of inhibiting coronaviruses and harmful microorganisms in the intestine by administering to livestock as a replacement for existing antibiotics, or by using as a medicine, feed additives, animal drugs, and the like.                         

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a method for inhibiting coronavirus or preventing and / or treating a disease caused by the virus using the isolated microorganism.
