Antimicrobial Effect of Lactic Acid Bacteria against Common Pathogenic Bacteria

Abstract       Background and Objective: Probiotics are living microorganisms that have beneficial effects on the health of digestive system. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial ability of acidic and neutral supernatants (culture supernatant) of lactic acid bacteria against common bacterial pathogens.        Meth...

Reduction of Acid-Fast and Non-Acid-Fast Bacteria by Point of Use Coagulation-Flocculation-Disinfection

Point of use (POU) household water treatment is increasingly being adopted as a solution for access to safe water. Non-tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) are found in water, but there is little research on whether NTM survive POU treatment. Mycobacteria may be removed by multi-barrier treatment systems that combine processes such as coagulation, settling and disinfection. This work evaluated remova...

antimicrobial effect of lactic acid bacteria against common pathogenic bacteria

abstract       background and objective: probiotics are living microorganisms that have beneficial effects on the health of digestive system. the aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial ability of acidic and neutral supernatants (culture supernatant) of lactic acid bacteria against common bacterial pathogens.        methods: four species of lactic acid bacteria (lactobacillus planta...

The Classification of Acid-Fast Bacteria.

The Classification of Acid-Fast Bacteria. II.

In a previously reported attempt (Gordon, 1937) to find standards for the classification of the rapidly-growing, non-pathogenic mycobacteria, we presented the results of a cultural study of a collection of 252 strains from soil, plants, human and animal tissues and secretions. Eighty per cent of the strains were readily separated into three groups of closely-related cultures. The remaining 20 p...
