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).

Barrels ad-hoc: Spanish oak wood classification by NIRs 

The wooden barrel is a key factor in enology, since wine chemical composition and sensory properties changes significantly in contact with the barrel[1]. Today’s highly competitive market constantly demands new differentiated products and wineries search innovations continuously.
Wood selection is crucial: barrels stability to keep constant their contribution and the result on products, and additional and differentiated wood contributions to impact their new products. Oak wood selection has traditionally been carried out using parameters such as specie, location and grain, however, it goes one step further nowadays. Large cooperage work with non-destructive techniques that allow classifying oak wood quickly and easily according to their organoleptic contribution[2].

Applicability of spectrofluorometry and voltammetry in combination with machine learning approaches for authentication of DOCa Rioja Tempranillo wines

The main objective of the work was to develop a simple, robust and selective analytical tool that allows predicting the authenticity of Tempranillo wines from DOCa Rioja. The techniques of voltammetry and absorbance-transmission and fluorescence excitation emission matrix (A-TEEM) spectroscopy have been applied in combination with machine learning (ML) algorithms to classify red wines from DOCa Rioja according to region (Alavesa, Alta or Oriental) and category (young, crianza or reserva).

Can yeast cells sense other yeasts beyond competition interactions?

The utilization of non-Saccharomyces yeasts in the wine industry has increased significantly in recent years. Alternative species need commonly be employed in combination with Saccharomyces cerevisiae to avoid stuck fermentation, or microbial spoilage. The employment of more than one yeast starter can lead to interactions between different species with an impact on the outcome of wine fermentation. Previous studies[1] demonstrated that S. cerevisiae elicits transcriptional responses with both shared and species-specific features in co-culture with other yeast species.

Combined use of leaf removal and natural shading to delay grape ripening in Manto negro (Vitis vinifera L.) under deficit irrigation 

The increasingly frequent heat waves during grape ripening pose challenges for premium wine grape production. This makes the development of irrigation and canopy management techniques of great importance to maximize yield and grape quality. A field experiment was carried out during 2021 and 2022 using Manto negro wine grapes to study the effect of two irrigation strategies and different light exposure levels on grape quality.
