Listeria monocytogenes , the common foodborne pathogenic bacteria species, compromises the intestinal epithelial barrier, leading to development of the listeriosis, a severe disease especially among immunocompromised individuals.  L. monocytogenes  infection usually requires antibiotic treatment, however, excessive use of antibiotics promotes emergence of antibiotic resistance and the destruction of gut microbiota. Probiotics, including lactic acid bacteria (LAB), have been repeatedly proven as an alternative approach for the treatment of various infections. We have analyzed the potential of  Enterococcus faecium  BGPAS1-3, a dairy isolate exhibiting strong direct antilisterial effect, to modulate the response of differentiated Caco-2 intestinal epithelial cells to  L. monocytogenes  ATCC 19111 infection. We showed that the molecule with antilisterial effect is a bacterial cell-wall protein that is highly resistant to the high-temperature treatment. When we tested the antilisterial potential of heat-killed BGPAS1-3, we found that it could prevent tight junction disruption in differentiated Caco-2 monolayer infected with  L. monocytogenes  ATCC 19111, induce antilisterial host response mechanisms, and stimulate the production of protective TGF-β in intestinal epithelial cells. We also showed that the modulation of MyD88 dependent TLR2 and TLR4 pathways by BGPAS1-3 are involved in host response against  L. monocytogenes  ATCC 19111. Since heat-killed BGPAS1-3 possess strong antilisterial effects, such postbiotic could be used as a controllable and safe therapeutic.
