Lactobacillus is one of the most genera of LAB that are known to produce substances including bacteriocins which can inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria. The current study determine the antibacterial activity probiotic lactobacilli again some clinical bacterial isolate. A commercially available probiotic lactobacilli product which contains (Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus plantarum) strains were tested for their antibacterial activity against the clinical bacterial isolates: Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus, following disk diffusion method. The cell-free supernatant of Lactobacilli strains isolated in the pr.. Read More»
