Abstract
⺠We discovered fractional components of wild blueberries inhibit intestinal pathogens and conserve probiotic L. rhamnosus. ⺠Anthocyanins plus proanthocyanidins fraction demonstrated the lowest MICs/MBCs. ⺠L. monocytogenes was the most susceptible to blueberry fraction treatment, followed by E. coli O157:H7, and S. Typhimurium. ⺠L. rhamnosus was the least susceptible to each fraction treatment demonstrating the conservation of probiotics. ⺠The effects of each fractional could be synergistic or cumulative depending on the mechanism of action.
