Effect of different speed and time of centrifugations on decontamination of Leptospira spp. cultures from rat’s kidney by Budi Prasetyo, Arif Mulyanto, Kusnanto Mukti Wibowo, Kurniawan, Farida Dwi Handayani

“…The centrifugal force in the centrifuge is able to change the surface properties of bacterial cells and the inner structure, including DNA, so that it can damage bacterial cells. The pathogenic bacterium Leptospira spp is a zoonosis that lives in the kidneys of rats as a natural reservoir, but breeding it is still a challenge because it can be contaminated with other bacteria. …”

“…In addition, strong adhesion capacity to differentiated Caco-2 cells (1.77–21.04%) was mapped, and the lactobacilli strains exhibited strong antagonistic activity against foodborne pathogens compared to lactococci. The strains were able to grow at low pH and high NaCl concentrations, conditions that prevail in food systems (cell counts ranged from 1.77 to 8.48 log CFU/mL after exposure to pH 3 and from 5.66 to 9.52 log CFU/mL after exposure to NaCl concentrations up to 8%). …”
