The growing threat of antibiotic resistance necessitates the development of novel antimicrobial therapies. Antivirulence agents that target group-beneficial traits in microorganisms (i.e., phenotypes that help the cells surrounding the producer cell instead of selfishly benefiting only the producer cell) represent a new antimicrobial approach that may be robust against the spread of resistant m...

Horizontal transfer (HT) plays a major role in bacterial evolution, providing a way for bacteria to take advantage of beneficial mutations found by other bacteria, possibly from other species. Within a given species, horizontal transfers allow bacteria to evade the clonal interference phenomenon (Hill and Robertson, 1966) through allelic recombination: when two different beneficial mutations ar...

Purpose: Goat’s milk is enriched with many nutrients and diverse lactic acid bacteria (LAB). This research was aimed at isolating characterizing industrially beneficial probiotic present in goat to investigate their ability produce acid.Research Method: A total of 100 bacterial isolates were obtained from 20 fresh goat’s samples Western North provinces Sri Lanka. These characterized based on co...
