Background:<\/b> There is rapid emergence of drug-resistant methicillin resistant S. aureus(MRSA) pseudomonads\u00a0and enterobacteriaceae strains, however little information are available on effects of lactic acid bacteria (LAB)\u00a0<\/span>on some enterobacteriaceae strains.<\/span><\/p>

Objective:<\/b> This study was to assess the antimicrobial effect of some lactobacilli and Weisella strains against\u00a0selected potential pathogens (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, MRSA, Providencia vermicola and Alcaligenes\u00a0<\/span>faecalis) in co-culture.<\/span><\/p>

Methods:<\/b> The antibiotic susceptibility of the selected potential pathogens was done by disc diffusion method\u00a0and cell free supernatant of fourteen different strains of LAB was initially tested against the selected potential\u00a0<\/span>pathogens by agar diffusion method..The antimicrobial effects of Lactobacillus plantarum 9, Lactobacillus\u00a0<\/span>buchneri SM04, Lactobacillus fermentum 008, Lactobacillus brevis 21, and Weissella paramesenteroides BS03\u00a0<\/span>were tested against the four selected potential pathogens by two different co-culture methods at different\u00a0<\/span>contact times.<\/span><\/p>

Results:<\/b> The tested potential pathogens were generally resistant to tested antibiotics with Providencia.\u00a0vermicola exhibiting 100% resistance. Lactobacillus brevis 21, Lactobacillus buchneri SM04, Lactobacillus\u00a0<\/span>plantarum 9, Lactobacillus fermentum 008, and Weissella paramesenteroides BS03 have antimicrobial\u00a0<\/span>activities against the tested potential pathogens in cell free supernatant experiment. The five tested LAB\u00a0<\/span>inhibited the potential pathogens in co-culture but at different contact time. Lactobacillus fermentum 008\u00a0<\/span>totally inhibited the growth of Providencia vermicola after 18 hours of co-culture while all the potential\u00a0<\/span>pathogens were inhibited in overnight culture of LAB.<\/span><\/p>

Conclusion:<\/b> Lactic acid bacteria have great antagonistic activities against the tested potential pathogens used in\u00a0this study. They therefore have great potentials as alternative therapy in cases where antibiotics resistance has\u00a0<\/span>been established.<\/span><\/p>
