Active probiotic organisms are good bacteria considered to be live micro-organisms that obtained from fermented foods. Evidence has shown probiotics essential in human health. This studys primary objective is isolate and characterize the active present certain food samples. Maize, African oil bean, castor were subjected analysis. The result found presence of such as Pedioccocus, Lactobacillus, ...

Our study was focused on characterization of dominant Bacillus bacteria isolated from the digestive tract of Oncorhynchus mykiss. After 8 weeks, the fish fed with probiotic-free diet were dissected under strictly controlled conditions. Fish intestines were eviscerated and its content diluted to 10−4 using Ringer solution. Two isolated bacteria were Gram-positive, catalase-positive, and oxidase-...

enterococcus and lactococcus are gram-positive cocci that often occur in pairs ( diplococci ) or short chains, and are difficult to differentiate from streptococci on physical characteristics alone. enterococcus faecium because have concern antibiotic resistant, consider difficult as probiotic. the results of an assay show that a probiotic e. faecium strain might be a potential recipient of van...

A crustin-like antimicrobial peptide from the haemocytes of giant tiger shrimp, Penaeus monodon was partially characterized at the molecular level and phylogenetic analysis was performed. The partial coding sequence of 299 bp and 91 deduced amino acid residues possessed conserved cysteine residues characteristic of the shrimp crustins. Phylogenetic tree and sequence comparison clearly confirmed...

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy of five probiotic preparations recommended to parents in the treatment of acute diarrhoea in children. Design Randomised controlled clinical trial in collaboration with family paediatricians over 12 months. SETTING Primary care. PARTICIPANTS Children aged 3-36 months visiting a family paediatrician for acute diarrhoea. INTERVENTION Children's parents were...

The complete genome of probiotic Escherichia coli strain G3/10 is presented here. In addition, the probiotic E. coli strains G1/2, G4/9, G5, G6/7, and G8 are presented in draft form. These six strains together comprise the probiotic product Symbioflor 2 (DSM 17252).

The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of a probiotic containing Bacillus cereus var. Toyoi spores (Toyocerin) and benzoic acid (VevoVitall) on growth performance and diarrhoea in weaning pigs, against negative controls. The trial groups were as follows: (a) NC group (Negative Controls): No treatment (b) TOYO group: Same feed as in the controls plus Toyocerin at a dose of 1 x 10(9...
