Probiotic Pathogen Displacement Analysis

The goal of this tests, at ProbionalytiX Labs, is to evaluate how probiotics outcompete pathogenic microbes for adhesion sites and nutrients on gut epithelial cells, thereby reducing pathogen colonisation. The method employs an in vitro epithelial cell adhesion assay using gut epithelial cell lines.

The methods employed provide robust quantitative and qualitative insights into the ability of probiotics to outcompete pathogens, supporting their use in health-promoting applications.

Probiotic Strain Screening:
- Evaluate the competitive adhesion abilities of different probiotic strains to select the most effective ones for functional foods or supplements.
Pathogen Inhibition Validation:
- Test the efficacy of probiotic strains in reducing the adhesion of specific pathogens like E. coli or Salmonella.
Formulation Optimization:
- Compare multi-strain probiotic formulations to determine synergistic or antagonistic effects in competitive exclusion.
Gut Health Product Development:
- Validate probiotics intended for preventing pathogen colonisation in human or animal gut health products.
