1. Preventing Recurrent UTIs in Adult Females: Nonantimicrobial versus Antimicrobial Methods

   …prophylactic methods to include antibiotics, cranberry supplements, Lactobacillus probiotics replacements, intravesical administration of hyaluronic acid and chrondroitin sulphate, and inactivated bacterial strain vaccines. In the studies reviewed, prophylactic antibiotic use resulted in a rise in antimicrobial resistance. If prophylactic antibiotics are prescribed, intermittent use is just as effective as continuous…

2. Comparison Of Antibiotic Resistance In Bacterial Flora Of Shrimp Farming Systems

   …of extensive, modified extensive and semi-intensive shrimp farming systems of West Bengal, India, which follow varied management practices were compared. The populations of bacteria isolated from semi-intensive shrimp farming system were comparatively more sensitive to antibiotics followed by modified extensive and extensive culture systems. About 38%, 20% and 22% of…

   …each from buffalo, cow and goat) were analyzed and 110 Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) were identified, out of these 43 were identified as probiotics, (L. acidophilus, L. bulgaricus, L. plantarum, L. lactis and L. rhamnosus). Out of these, 11 isolates were potential probiotics, which includes L. plantarum (C1, C4, C7,…

4. Probiotics: Friendly Microbes For Better Health

   …ancestors in various food and beverages, and in the last decades have undergone clinical research for their ability to prevent and cure a variety of diseases. In recent years, novel insights have been gained into the role of bacterial micro flora in health and disease. Natural flora manipulation by probiotic…

5. Probiotics And Antibiotics: A Brief Overview

6. Resistance to the toxicity of conjugative bile salts and Assessment of plasmid borne antibiotic resi

   Probiotics are the viable microorganisms, which upon digestion exert health-promoting effects on host. Probiotics bacteria must have the potential to serve as a host of antibiotic resistance genes with the risk of transferring the genes in many lactic acid bacteria and other pathogenic bacteria. Many Lactic acid bacteria may carry…

7. Saccharomyces Cerevisiae And Probiotic Bacteria Potentially Inhibit Aflatoxins Production In Vitro A

   Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and Lactobacillus rhamnosus LC705) potentially inhibited Aspegillus flavus growth and aflatoxins production in YES liquid media. Six groups of rats orally administrated SC (1011 CFU / ml) and LGG & LC705 (109 CFU/ ml) daily for 15 days alone or with…
