D2A21, a novel peptide antibiotic has in vitro activity against a wide spectrum of sexually transmitted diseases (STD). In this study we tested the hypothesis that intravaginal D2A21 would interfere with acquisition of Trichomonas vaginalis infection in a modified mouse model. T. vaginalis infections of estrogenized young mice pretreated with Lactobacillus vaginalis or Lactobacillus rhamnosus w...

conclusions our findings indicate that probiotic bacterial strains of lactobacillus have a significant inhibitory effect on the growth of p. aeruginosa ptcc 1430. the antimicrobial potency of this combination can be useful for designing and developing alternative therapeutic strategies against p. aeruginosa infections. results the results showed a significant effect of cfs on the growth of p. a...

BACKGROUND Probiotic therapies with different strains demonstrated some beneficial effects, although some studies did not show any significant effects. This study assessed systematically the current knowledge on the effect of probiotic bacteria on duration of acute rotavirus diarrhea in children compared with control. METHODS The PubMed, Cochrane Controlled Trial Register (CCTR) and Ovid (Wol...

Probiotics are bacteria that are commercially available as dietary supplements. One of the important properties of probiotics is their ability to survive in the intestine. Recent evidence has identified kynurenic acid (KYNA) as a bactericidal constituent of intestinal fluid. These data led us to study the influence of KYNA on the viability of selected probiotics. We found that KYNA supported th...

Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (ATCC 53103) is one of the clinically best-studied probiotic organisms. Moreover, L. rhamnosus GG displays very good in vitro adherence to epithelial cells and mucus. Here, we report that L. rhamnosus GG is able to form biofilms on abiotic surfaces, in contrast to other strains of the Lactobacillus casei group tested under the same conditions. Microtiter plate biofilm...

the popularity of non-dairy probiotic products continues to persist as the consumers prefer functional foods satisfying their health needs. among these promising foods, probiotic grape drink would have beneficial effects on modifying gastrointestinal flora and human health. in this study, the pasteurized grape drink was inoculated by three species of lactic acid bacteria (lactobacillus delbruec...

In this study, 11 lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains were screened for potential new probiotics using in vitro methods, including acid and bile salt tolerance, adhesion, antioxidative and a-glucosidase inhibitory activity. The results indicated that Lactobacillus casei 2W and Lactobacillus rhamnosus Z7 showed better potential probiotic properties and a-glucosidase inhibitory activity in vitro. ...

Phyllanthusurinariaplant was used in liver relating diseases in Vietnam. The study was to know more about the bioactivities of Phyllanthusurinarialeaf extracts before and after combined with Pandanustectoriousfruit extracts and Lactobacillus rhamnosusextract. This was accomplished by examining the influence of the total aqueous, chloroform and ethylacetateextracts. The biological tests were don...

background: rotavirus is one of the most common etiologic agent of severe acute diarrhea in infants and children which results in high mortality and morbidity globally. prophylactic strategies are required to prevent acute rotavirus diarrhea. recently, the beneficial effect of probiotic therapy in control of rotavirus diarrhea was noted in many investigations. this systematic review investigate...

Lactobacillus rhamnosus LOCK900 fulfills the criteria required for probiotic strains. In this study, we report a whole-genome sequence of this isolate and compare it with other L. rhamnosus complete genome sequences already published.
