lactobacillus spp are a group of gram-positive, non-spore forming, cocci or rod shaped, catalase negative organisms that benefit to the host. prebiotics are non-digestible food ingredients that stimulate the growth and /or activity of bacteria in the digestive system in ways claimed to be beneficial to health. this study was conducted in order to investigate the effects of selected probiotic mi...

BACKGROUND The indiscriminate use of antibiotics in the treatment of infectious diseases can increase the development of antibiotic resistance. Therefore, there is a big demand for new sources of antimicrobial agents and alternative treatments for reduction of antibiotic dosage required to decrease the associated side effects. OBJECTIVES In this study, the synergistic action of aminoglycoside...

In this study, Limosilactobacillus fermentum PTCC 1638 and Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus 1637 were used alone in combination to ferment quinoa seeds, the effect of fermentation (37 °C; 24 h) on pH, total phenols, tocopherols, vitamin C, antioxidant activity, enzymes inhibition (α-amylase α-glucosidase; antidiabetic effect) was investigated. The results showed that with increase time, bacterial p...

The primary cause of metabolic syndrome is obesity, a state in which the body accumulates stockpiles fat. Lessening assimilation dietary fats via suppression lipase enzyme pancreas may incite weight loss. In this work, 21 isolates lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were monitored for potential novel probiotic traits by means vitro methods, comprising bile salt and tolerance, adhesion inhibitory activit...

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...
