Antimicrobial activity of oenological polyphenols against Gram positive and Gram negative intestinal multidrug-resistant bacteria

Abstract

Bacterial antibiotic resistance is a major current health problem. Polyphenols have demonstrated antibacterial activity, and in this work we studied the effect of oenological polyphenols on the growth of intestinal multidrug-resistant strains of human and animal origin. Two Enterococcus faecium strains, resistant to vancomycin and other antibiotics, and four Escherichia coli strains, resistant to ampicillin and other antibiotics, were included in this study. All strains showed multidrug resistant phenotypes and genotypes to at least two antibiotic families. Two Vitis vinifera extracts obtained from red grape skins (GG) and seeds (TS) were studied. Standards of malvidin, epicatechin and myricetin were also included in this study. The antimicrobial activities of the polyphenolic extracts and standards alone and in combination with the corresponding antibiotic of reference were evaluated against the six multidrug-resistant strains. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and fractional inhibitory concentration index (FIC) were determined. FIC values were interpreted as follows: synergy (FIC≤0.5); partial synergy (0.5<FIC<1); additive effect (FIC=1); indifference (1<FIC<2) and antagonism (FIC≥2).

The oenological extracts tested alone inhibited the growth of the six multidrug-resistant strains: GG (MIC=6.25 mg/mL) and TS (MIC≥1 mg/mL), and their effect was bacteriostatic. Combined with the corresponding antibiotic, GG showed a synergistic effect against all the E. coli and E. faecium strains (FICs=0.4-0.6), and it was able to reduce 3-8-fold the antibiotic MICs. Similarly, malvidin inhibited the growth of all the strains (MICs=0.67-1.34 mg/mL), it showed a synergistic effect in combination with the corresponding antibiotic against all the studied strains (FICs=0.6-0.9) and it was able to reduce 2-4-fold the antibiotic MICs. TS, epicatechin and myricetin were also able to inhibit the growth of all the strains (MICs=0.3-2.68 mg/mL) and their effect in combination with the corresponding antibiotic was either additive or indifferent (1£FICs<2).

Design of microbial consortia to improve the production of aromatic amino acid derived compounds during wine fermentation

Wine contains secondary metabolites derived from aromatic amino acids (AADC), which can determine quality, stability and bioactivity. Several yeast species, as well as some lactic acid bacteria (LAB), can contribute in the production of these aromatic compounds. Winemaking should be studied as a series of microbial interactions, that work as an interconnected network, and can determine the metabolic and analytical profiles of wine. The aim of this work was to select microorganisms (yeast and LAB) based on their potential to produce AADC compounds, such as tyrosol and hydroxytyrosol, and design a microbial consortium that could increase the production of these AADC compounds in wines.

Inert gases persistence in wine storage tank blanketing

It is common to find tanks in the winery with wine below their capacity due to wine transfers between tanks of different capacities or the interruption of operations for periods of a few days. This situation implies the existence of an ullage space in the tank with prolonged contact with the wine causing its absorption/oxidation. Oxygen uptake from the air headspace over the wine due to differences in the partial pressure of O2 can be rapid, up to 1.5 mL of O2 per liter of wine in one hour and 100 cm2 of surface area1 and up to saturation after 4 hours.

Yeast mannoprotein characterization and their effect on Oenococcus oeni and malolactic fermentation

Mannoproteins are released at the end of alcoholic fermentation due to yeast autolysis [1]. It has been described a positive effect of these molecules on lactic acid bacteria growth [2]. The main objective of this work was the characterization of different mannoproteins extracted from active dry yeast (ADY) and the assessment of their effect on Oenococcus oeni and malolactic fermentation (MLF).

Volatile composition of Cabernet Sauvignon wines from Argentina, Portugal and Spain

Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the most cultivated grape varieties worldwide being grown in different environmental conditions due to its excellent adaptability. Volatile compounds deeply contribute to the sensory properties of wines therefore to wine quality. The aim of this work was to compare the aroma profile of Cabernet Sauvignon wines from different geographical areas and climatic conditions, namely from Argentina, Portugal and Spain, from the vintage 2022. In addition, the volatile composition of the Cabernet Sauvignon Portuguese wines from three vintages was evaluated.

Grapevine adaptation to drought and resistance to Neofusicoccum parvum, causal agent of Botryosphaeria dieback

The sustainability of viticulture in response to climate change has been addressed mainly considering agronomic impacts, such as water management and diseases, either separately or together.
In grapevines, there is strong evidence that different genotypes respond differently to biotic and abiotic stresses. A screening was conducted on various local cultivars in response to drought and Neofusicoum parvum infection aiming to evaluate their susceptibility to abiotic stress and resistance to fungal diseases.
