Helicobacter hepaticusandHelicobacter pyloriboth belong to Helicobacter species. Strains ofLactobacillus acidophilus, including L4 and L6, have shown significant inhibitory effects onH. pylori. Based on this phenomenon, we aim to investigate the inhibitory effect ofL. acidophilusonH. hepaticus. Both standard and isolatedH. hepaticusstrains were grown under microaerophilic conditions at 37 °C in the presence ofL. acidophilussupernatant, or lactic acid. The diameters of the inhibition zones were measured on the solid culture media. In liquid culture, the cell concentrations were measured and the urease activity was determined by phenol red staining. Sixteen strains ofL. acidophilusisolated from human feces (named as L1–L16) showed anti-H. hepaticuseffects. Two of them (L4 and L6) exhibited the most apparent effects onH. hepaticusinhibition. TheL. acidophilussupernatant of L4 and L6 significantly increased the diameters of the inhibition zones compared with that of the lactic acid control (P< 0.05). The inhibitory role ofL. acidophilussupernatant was independent of the pH value of solution (P> 0.05). Moreover, in liquid culture,L. acidophilussupernatant significantly reduced the cell growth rate and the urease activity ofH. hepaticuscells in a time-dependent pattern (P< 0.05 compared with lactic acid control). No obvious difference was observed between the standard and isolated strain ofH. hepaticus(P> 0.05). Our results indicate thatL. acidophiluscan decrease the viability and urease activity ofH. hepaticusin vitro and this inhibition is independent of pH levels. This provides evidence for developing novel approaches for the prevention and treatment ofH. hepaticusinfection.
