Estimation of Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) of Cell-Free Extracts of <i>Bifidobacterium</i> Species Against Methicillin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus in vitro</i>

Abstract: The aim of this study was to examine if extract of bifidobacteria, a major species of the human colonic microflora participates in the barrier effect against enteropathogens by developing antimicrobial activity against virulent bacteria. Six human bifidobacteria strains were isolated from infant stools. They were characterized and identified through physiological, biochemical tests and API 20 A test system. The isolates belonged to the three species: B. breve, B.longum and B.infantis. The cell extracts of the … Show more

“…Nevertheless, during the storage of probiotic products, the survivability of these bacteria shows a decreasing trend due to several factors, for example, the low pH of fermented foods, hydrogen peroxide produced by some lactobacilli , and high oxygen content (Kim et al., 2019; Sarvari et al., 2014). The most commonly used probiotic supplements contain the species of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium and are part of the healthy human intestinal microbiota (Nashaat AL‐Saadi, 2016).…”
