Abstract

This study evaluated the safety of Lactobacillus johnsonii IDCC 9203 and investigated its anti-inflammatory activity in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 macrophages. Genomic analysis revealed that this strain has no virulence and antibiotic resistance gene except tetW, which is a tetracycline resistance gene. Minimum inhibitory concentration data showed that the strain is resistant to tetracycline and aminoglycosides. Further analysis indicated that the transferability of the tetW gene is extremely low, and resistance to aminoglycosides is due to the intrinsic resistance of L. johnsonii IDCC 9203. Phenotypic safety assessment showed that the strain has neither β-hemolytic nor β-glucuronidase activity, and no biogenic amine production. When LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells were treated with L. johnsonii IDCC 9203, the level of nitric oxide and expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines significantly decreased (p < 0.05). Therefore, L. johnsonii IDCC 9203 strain is considered as safe and beneficial probiotic for human consumption.
