The aim of the study was to assess microbial quality of water in dental unit waterlines in a dental school at Mangalore. Methodology: Water samples were taken from tap water for control, air/water syringe and the high speed hand piece of 20 dental units. The samples were transferred to the laboratory and streaked on the culture media namely Mac Conkey agar, Sabourauds dextrose media, Buffered c...

Weissella spp. are non-spore forming, catalase-negative, gram-positive coccobacilli. They are often misidentified by traditional and commercial phenotypic identification methods as Lactobacillus spp. or Lactobacillus-like organisms. Weissella spp. were previously grouped along with Lactobacillus spp., Leuconostoc spp., and Pediococcus spp. Utilization of more sensitive methods like DNA sequenci...

Lactobacilli have long been considered to be protective flora in the vagina. In this study, samples were taken from the lateral vaginal wall of 19 healthy women, and 58 strains of Lactobacillus spp. were isolated from 10 of these women. The identification results revealed that Lactobacillus gasseri was the predominant lactobacilli in healthy women. The amounts of lactic acid and hydrogen peroxi...

the human oral cavity includes different bacterial community. advantage anddisadvantage of these bacteria depend on their ability to adhere to the toothsurfaces. some microbiota could cause oral disease, however, some of them inhibitformation of biofilm on teeth and therefore prevent dental caries. the present studywas undertaken to investigate on the dmft index (d: decay, m: missing, f: fillin...

The isolated and identified bacteria from yoghurt sample are of spp. Lactobacillus. The bacteria of this spp. are lactic acid producers. These spp. resembles to Lactobacillus acidophilus. A probiotic is a microorganism known to be friendly and beneficial to its host when consumed. In today's time, probiotics are a very popular subject of research among scientists and pharmaceutical companies .D...

Marination with marinade containing salt, sugar, and acetic acid is commonly used in Finland to enhance the value of raw broiler meat. In this study, we investigated the effect of marination, marinade components and storage time on composition of bacterial communities in modified atmosphere-packaged (MAP) broiler fillet strips. The communities were characterized using two culture-independent me...

The influence of bile acid concentration on the growth of Bifidobacterium spp. and Lactobacillus spp. bacteria was demonstrated. Exposing these bacteria to the environment containing bile acid salts, and very poor in nutrients, leads to the disappearance of these microorganisms due to the toxic effect of bile acids. A multidimensional analysis of data in the form of principal component analysis...

The protection level against Salmonella Enteritidis was evaluated in chickens after in ovo treatment with different species of Lactobacillus spp. inoculated into the air cell or by immersion in broth culture. Two hundred forty embryonated eggs were distributed into 8 groups, corresponding to treatments with Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus fermentum, Lactobacillus salivarius, and contro...
