Özet

Aim: Postbiotics are bioactive substances that are produced by commensal bacteria during fermentation in the matrix. This study aims to determine their promising activities important for the wound healing process.

 

Method: Postbiotics were obtained from Staphylococcus hominis EIR/HS-1, an isolate of human skin microbiota, following the fermentation process. DPPH free radical scavenging assays were used to assess their antioxidant capacity. The total phenolic and flavonoid compounds were also determined. Cytotoxic effects and migration ability were evaluated on human keratinocyte and fibroblast cells. Besides, effects on immune markers and collagen synthesis were analyzed using ELISA and RT-PCR, respectively.  Finally, its metabolites were identified using chromatographic methods.

Results / Discussion:  DPPH radical scavenging activity was found as 100%. Doses below 1000 µg/mL did not exhibit cytotoxic effects on cells and did not induce apoptosis. As a result of migration, scratches on cells were closed after 24 hours. Postbiotics did not induce pro-inflammatory cytokine production. However, they significantly induced collagen synthesis in human fibroblast cells. Lactic acid, B complex vitamins, glucose, palmitoleic (C16:1 cis-9) acid, gallocatechin, and epicatechin were found as the most abundant metabolites.

Conclusion:  Our results suggest that postbiotics obtained from Staphylococcus hominis EIR/HS-1 have potential bioactivities that are important for the wound healing process. Therefore, postbiotics can be used as a new source for alternative bio-control strategies.
