Urine specimens were collected aseptically and inoculated directly onto CLED MacConkey agar medium incubated overnight. Single target colonies sub cultured, identification was based on culture, morphology, biochemical characteristics. Enterococci isolates subjected to biofilm assay (Tube method), resistance pattern determined for both biofilm-formers non-biofilm-formers. Genomic DNA extracted u...

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are gram positive and non- spore forming bacteria that can produce some special substances for growth inhibition of pathogenic, non-pathogenic and food spoilage bacteria. The aim of this study was to determine the inhibitory effects of Lactobacillus acidophilus PTCC1643 (DSM 20079) and Lactobacillus plantarum PTCC 1058 (ATCC 8014) cultural supernatants against urinary...
