  2. Abstract

  3. Objectives: The ability of a probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus strain (Lcr35) to adhere to cervical and vaginal cells and to affectthe viability of two main vaginosis-associated pathogens, Prevotellabivia, Gardnerellavaginalis, as well as Candida albicans wasinvestigated

  4. Introduction

  5. Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most frequent vaginalinfectious disorder in women ofchildbearing age withprevalences ranging from 10% to 50% • The cause of BVremains poorly understood, and no specific infectious agentshave been identified. However, the disorder is characterizedby modifications of the genital tract microflora, includinga reduction in or absence oflactobacillus colonizationand overgrowth of several anaerobic bacteria

  6. Different mechanisms arepotentially involved in the activity of Lactobacilli againstpathogens, including the competitive exclusion of genitourinarypathogens from receptors present on the surface of theepithelial cells. Under healthy conditions, cervicovaginal cellsare constantly exposed to the normal vaginal microbiota. • The recommended treatment regimens for vaginal infectionsare oral or intravaginal antibiotics but theseconventional treatments are associated with frequent recurrences.

  7. Lactobacillican restore ecological balance in the vagina by controllingthe infectivity of pathogenic microbes • L. acidophilus and L. rhamnosus speciesthese probioticsrepresent an effective and safemethod for treating womenwith BV can be drawn.

  8. The behavior of the probiotics in thevaginal tract is likely to be strain specific and therefore, it isimportant to determine the characteristics of the strain tobe used as a therapeutic agent • The purposeof this study was to determine the in vitro adherence ofa well characterized L. rhamnosusprobiotic strain,Lcr35,and itsability to inhibit growth of threevaginosisassociatedpathogens.

  9. We used immortalized morphologicallyand functionally distinct epithelial cell lines fromnormal endocervix, ectocervix, and vagina to characterizeLcr35 epithelial interactions pertinent to the lower femalegenital tract and determined its antimicrobial activity againstPrevotella bivia, Gardnerella vaginalis, and Candida albicansin coculture experiments.

  10. MATERIALS AND METHODS

  11. Adhesion assay region • vagina (VK2/E6E7 ATCC-CRL-2616),ectocervix • (Ect1/E6E7 ATCC-CRL-2614), • endocervix(End1/E6E7 ATCC-CRL-2615)

  12. material 1.keratinocyte serumfree 2.medium (Gifco BRL 17005-042) 3.human recombinant EGF (0.1 ng/mL), bovine pituitary 4.extract (0.05 mg/mL) 5.calcium chloride (0.4mM)

  13. step 1.Adhesion of the Lcr35 was assayed by seeding celllines in 24-well tissue culture plates at 2.5 × 105 epithelialcells/well and allowing them to grow to complete confluence(105 cells/well). 2. gentle washing of the cell monolayer,the adhesion capacity of Lcr35 was determined by adding105multiplicity of infection (MOI,1), 106 (MOI, 10), and107 (MOI, 100)bacteriafrom an overnight culture in deMan, Rogosa

  14. 3.Sharpe (MRS) agar medium. Bacterial cellswere previously washed in phosphate buffered saline andresuspended in the cell culture medium 4. Adhesion wasmonitored after 1 and 3 hours of incubation carried out at37◦C under 5% CO2

  15. 5.The monolayers were washed three times with 1 mL of Dulbecco's phosphate buffered saline, detached by addition of 0.1% TritonX-100 solution and the number of viable bacteria determined by plating serial dilutions of the suspensions onto MRS agar plates. 6. qualitative analysis, the cell monolayers and the bacteria were methanol fixed and stained by addition of a 10% Giemsa solution.

  16. Growth inhibition ofvaginosis-associated pathogens

  17. The effect of Lcr35 on the growth of threepathogens • Candida albicans ATCC10231 2. Prevotellabivia ATCC29303 3. Gardnerellavaginalis ATCC14018

  18. Coculture assays(Prevotella and Gardnerella) • Sabouraud broth(Candida) or brain 2. brain heart infusion supplemented with yeast extract (1%) 3.maltose (0.1%) 4. glucose (0.1%) 5. horse serum (10%)

  19. RESULTS

  20. Adhesion of Lcr35 to cervical and vaginal cells

  21. The ability of Lcr35 to adhere to vaginal and cervical cells Adherence of L. rhamnosus Lcr35 to vaginal, ecto-and endocervical cells. Epithelial cells were incubated with three different bacterial inocula and incubated for 1 hour

  22. Microscopical observations of Giemsa-stained preparation showed typical chains of Lcr35 randomly dispersed on the cell surface Giemsa-stains from adherence assays performed for the Experiment (a)Vaginal (b)Ectocervical cells

  23. Growth inhibition of vaginosis-associated pathogens

  24. The antagonist effect of Lcr35 against three main pathogens, P. bivia, G. vaginalis, and C. albicans,was assessed incoculture assays and compared with the growth ability of each pathogen in the same culture medium(Figure 3).

  25. Effect of Lcr35 on the viability of Prevotellabivia (a), Gardnerellavaginalis (b), and Candida albicans (c) as a function of the time of coculture Lcr35 at 37◦C for 24 hours and the colony forming unit mL−1 was determined after 4, 8, and 24 hours of incubation by plating onto appropriate media

  26. When the viable bacteria in the mixed suspension were counted over a longer period of time, bactericidal activity was detected between 8 and 24 hours of incubation for all pathogens with the Prevotella strain being the most susceptible (4-log10 units decrease in the number of viable cells).

  27. DISCUSSION

  28. 1.Lactobacillus species in the female urogenital system act as a barrier to infection and contribute to the control of the vaginalmicrobiota by competing with othermicroorganisms for adherence to epithelial cells, displacing pathogen biofilm, and/or inhibiting the growth of potential pathogens 2. We can thus speculate that adhesion assays performed with this material reproduce more faithfully the in vivo situation than experiments performed with any cell line derived from human carcinoma of the lower genital tract mucosa. Using these cell lines, we observed specific adhesion of an L.Adhesion occurred even at a low MOI (1:1) and within less than 1 hour of contact, which corresponds to a highly dynamic process.

  29. 3. strains of Lactobacilli were able to disrupt G. vaginalis preformed biofilms .It would therefore be interesting to test the biofilm activity of Lcr35 against G. vaginalis and to determine if the sessile form of Lcr35 also exhibits antibacterial activity against G. vaginalis in mixed biofilm assays. 4. The antagonist activity of Lcr35 was not limited to bacterial pathogens since the strain was also able to reduce the viability of C. albicans, which is the species most often associated with candidiasis,By interfering with Candida overgrowth in the patients' intestinal or vaginal tract, Lactobacilli could provide colonization resistance and maintain low numbers of yeasts, especially when administered together with antibiotics.

  30. 5. Petricevic and Witt recently showed in a clinical study that topical administration of Lcr35 enhances the restoration of the vaginal flora after antibiotic treatment of BV. Thus, it might be an excellent candidate for use as a prophylactic agent, taken orally or applied topically.

  31. CONCLUSION

  32. Lactobacilli may be of prophylactic value in preventing or curing genitourinary system infections in women, rhamnosus Lcr35 would be a good candidate as a protective agent against both bacterial vaginosis and Candida vaginitis since it was able to adhere to vaginal and cervical cells and to antagonist the growth of vaginosis-associated pathogens. Clinical studies are now required to assess the in vivo efficacy of such a therapy
