Ozone killed bacteria showed similar effect on E. coli and again the best result was achieved by B. lactis with 30% decrease in bacterial growth (Fig. 5b). The paraformaldehyde killed bacteria had greater impact on E.coli viability in comparison with other methods. All the killed bacteria decreased E.coli growth about 40% (Fig. 5c).
Objectives. Lactobacillus probiotics have been proposed as an antibiotic-sparing prevention strategy for urinary tract infections (UTIs). Our objective was to examine the relative ability of the 4 most common vaginal Lactobacillus species to inhibit the growth of Escherichia coli, the most common cause of UTIs.
Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus acidophilus are the organisms which are responsible for initiation and progression of it. Natural phytochemicals can be an effective alternative to antibiotics and represent a promising approach in the prevention of dental caries and other oral infection. It has the ability to kill all oral streptococci
Lactobacillus is recognized as an important part of the normal flora in the female genitourinary tract and the reduction in numbers increases the risk of UTI. Among the four randomized controlled trials involving treatment of UTI with the lactobacillus probiotic, one reported a 73 percent reduction in episodes of recurrent UTI compared with the
Background Female genital tract secretions are bactericidal for Escherichia (E.) coli ex vivo. However, the intersubject variability and molecules that contribute to this activity have not been defined. Methods The bactericidal activity and concentration of immune mediators in cervicovaginal lavage (CVL) collected from 99 healthy women were determined. Results CVL reduced the number of E. coli
. For all 5 strains of E. coli O157:H7, the addition of up to 9% or 15% (w/v) NaCl increased the survival levels of E. coli O157:H7 treated with acetic acid at low pH and in some strains of E. coli O157:H7, addition of 6% or 9% (w/v) NaCl resulted in the greatest increase in the survival of E. coli O157:H7 (Fig. 1). These high concentrations of
The world is facing a significant increase in infections caused by drug-resistant infectious agents. In response, various strategies have been recently explored to treat them, including the development of bacteriocins. Bacteriocins are a group of antimicrobial peptides produced by bacteria, capable of controlling clinically relevant susceptible and drug-resistant bacteria. Bacteriocins have
Lactobacillus lactis can metabolize leucine to produce 3-methylbutanol, which adds an undesirable malty taste. Normally, milk contaminated with L. lactis does not undergo a color change. If this organism is grown in the presence of Pseudomonas syncyanea, however, milk will turn bright blue.
Lactobacilli can prevent the growth of E. coli and Salmonella in vitro (Lin et al., 2008; Tejero et al., 2012), increase the Lactobacillus numbers in the ileum and cecum, and decrease the ileal Escherichia counts in vivo (Li et al., 2018). Improved intestinal flora may counteract the increased serum endotoxin content induced by intestinal
