Gardnerella vaginalis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae Are Effectively Inhibited by Lactobacilli with Probiotic Properties Isolated from Brazilian Cupuaçu (Theobroma grandiflorum) Fruit

Table 2

Hemolytic activity and characterization of physiological and antimicrobial properties of five lactobacilli strains isolated from cupuaçu fermentation.

Strain	Hemolytic activity	Biofilm formation	Hydrophobicity (%)	Autoaggregation (%)	Coaggregation (%)
					G. vaginalis	N. gonorrhoeae
Lc24	γ-Hemolytic	Moderately adherent	^a	^a	^a1	^a2
Lf38	γ-Hemolitic	Moderately adherent	^b	^a	^b1	^b2
Lf47	γ-Hemolitic	Strongly adherent	^c	^b	^a1	^a2
Lp81	γ-Hemolitic	Strongly adherent	^d	^a	^b1	^a2
Lp90	γ-Hemolitic	Strongly adherent	^c	^a	^c1	^c2

Presented values are means of triplicate determinations; ± indicates standard deviations from the mean. Mean values (±standard deviation) of coaggregation within the same column followed by different superscript letters differ significantly (). Mean values (±standard deviation) of coaggregation within the same line followed by different superscript numbers differ significantly ().
