The antibacterial activity of
Lactobacillus casei
IMV B-7280,
Lact. acidophilus
IMV B-7279,
Bifidobacterium longum
VK1, and
B. bifidum
VK2 strains or their various compositions in relation to
Staphylococcus aureus
in vitro and on models of experimental intravaginal staphylococcosis of mice was determined. It was found that under the influence of these strains and their various compositions, the in vitro growth of
Staph. aureus
was inhibited, and the number of colonies of
Staph. aureus
plated from the vagina of infected mice was significantly reduced. The antibacterial activity of these strains separately and in compositions correlated with their ability to improve the performance of the immune response. These strains were the most effective in the following compositions:
Lact. casei
IMV B-7280—
B. longum
VK1—
B. bifidum
VK2. Strains of
Lact. casei
IMV B-7280,
Lact. acidophilus
IMV B-7279,
B. bifidum
VK2, and
B. longum
VK1 are prospective components of future probiotic drugs efficient in treating staphylococcosis and for immunity correction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
