Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) belongs to lactic acid bacteria which can be used as a probiotic additive and feed, bringing practical value to the health of humans and animals. The prebiotic function of tea polyphenols lays a foundation for green tea polyphenols (GTP) to repair the adverse changes of E. faecalis under stress conditions. In this study, RNA-sequence analysis was used to explore the protective effect of GTP on E. faecalis under bile salt stress. A total of 50 genes were found to respond to GTP under bile salts stress, containing 18 up-regulated and 32 down-regulated genes. The results showed that multiple genes associated with cell wall and membrane, transmembrane transport, nucleotide transport and metabolism were significantly differentially expressed (P < 0.05), while GTP intervention can partly alleviate the detrimental effects of bile salt on amino acid metabolism and transport. The present study provides the whole genome transcriptomics of E. faecalis under bile salt stress and GTP intervention which help us understand the growth and mechanism of continuous adaptation of E. faecalis under stress conditions.
