conclusions this research study proved the presence of viable probiotic lab microflora in the ewe milk with enhanced health benefits. the 2 selected lactobacillus strains could be exploited in dairy or pharmaceutical industry in future. objectives the probiotic efficacy of two lactobacillus strains namely lactobacillus pentosus lp05 and l. brevis lb32 was evaluated. they were previously isolate...

Background/Aim. Probiotics help to provide an optimum balance in the intestines. Probiotics species competitive block toxic substances and growth of unwanted bacteria and yeast species while they compete for the space and food. Lactogyn® is the first oral probiotics on Serbian market dedicated to maintaining a normal vaginal flora. Lactogyn® contains two well studied probiotics strains – Lactob...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Lactobacilli are known to play an important role in the maintenance of health by stimulating natural immunity and contributing to the balance of microflora. However, their role in chronic periodontitis is unclear. We aimed to identify oral lactobacilli in chronic periodontitis and periodontally healthy subjects, and to determine their antimicrobial activity against putative oral...

conclusions our findings show that lactobacillus strains with human origin had a mild inhibitory activity against the diarrheagenic e. coli, and these strains may be useful as probiotic candidates in prevention of intestinal infections caused by diarrheagenic e. coli. results a total of 20 lactobacillus isolates were identified from stool samples. lactobacillus fermentum was the most frequently...

Lactobacilli appear in the oral cavity during the first years of a child's life. Their presence depends on numerous factors such as the presence of ecological niches e.g. natural anfractuosities of the teeth.A strong correlation has been established between the saliva Lactobacillus count and dental caries, the higher the DMF index, the higher the number of children harbouring a high Lactobacill...

conclusions as l. crispatus and l. jensenni were significantly higher in bv infected women and the cytotoxic effect of l. crispatus on tumoral cervical cells was high, introduction of new probiotics seems necessary. results l. crispatus, l. gasseri, l. iners, l. jensenii, l. acidophilus and l. rhamnosus were the most frequently occurring species in vagina of healthy iranian women. l. crispatus ...

A species diversity study of lactic acid bacteria occurring in traditional Vietnamese nem chua yielded an isolate, LMG 26767(T), that could not be assigned to a species with a validly published name. The isolate was initially investigated by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, which revealed that it belonged to the genus Lactobacillus, with Lactobacillus manihotivorans and Lactobacillus camelliae ...

Vineyard- and winery-associated lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from two major PDO regions in Greece, Peza and Nemea, were surveyed. LAB were isolated from grapes, fermenting musts, and winery tanks performing spontaneous malolactic fermentations (MLF). Higher population density and species richness were detected in Nemea than in Peza vineyards and on grapes than in fermenting musts. Pediococcus pen...

BACKGROUND The presence of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) producing Lactobacillus in the vagina may play a role in controlling genital HIV-1 shedding. Sensitive molecular methods improve our ability to characterize the vaginal microbiota; however, they cannot characterize phenotype. We assessed the concordance of H(2)O(2)-producing Lactobacillus detected by culture with quantitative PCR (qPCR) de...
