The antimicrobial properties and antibiotic resistance of lactic acid bacteria

Abstract

This research aimed to isolate and culture four strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from fermented foods. The antimicrobial activity of the lactic acid bacteria was studied using the agar spot method and the antibiotic resistance properties of the lactic acid bacteria were studied using the agar overlay diffusion method. The results showed that each strain of lactic acid bacteria had different levels of antimicrobial activity and antibiotic resistance, which are safety properties of probiotic microorganisms.

Objective

จุลินทรีย์โพรไบโอติก (Probiotic) หมายความว่า จุลินทรีย์ที่มีชีวิต ซึ่งเมื่อร่างกายได้รับในปริมาณที่เพียงพอจะทำให้เกิดผลที่เป็นประโยชน์ต่อสุขภาพ อาหารที่มีการใช้จุลินทรีย์โพรไบโอติกต้องได้รับอนุญาตจากสำนักงานคณะกรรมการ อาหารและยา และ ต้องใช้จุลินทรีย์ตามที่กำหนดไว้ ดังนั้นการวิจัยนี้จึงนำเชื้อแบคทีเรียแลคติกที่แยกได้จากอาหารหมัก 4 สายพันธุ์ มาศึกษาฤทธิ์การต้านเชื้อแบคทีเรียก่อโรคในอาหาร และ ศึกษาสมบัติการดื้อยาของเชื้อแบคทีเรียแลคติก

Design of Feature "BAAC Good Worker" in Line OA BAAC Family

Currently, Thailand is facing the issue of an aging agricultural workforce and a shortage of labor. The hiring process for agricultural workers is primarily based on word-of-mouth within a limited, narrow area. This may have indirect negative effects in various aspects, such as the lack of basic selection criteria (experience, skills), budget control, and hiring processes. As a result, the idea of creating a job platform specifically for farmers was conceived.Currently, Thailand is facing the issue of an aging agricultural workforce and a shortage of labor.

Effective Removal of Dental Biofilm from Periodontal Pathogens Using DNase I and Engineered Human Antimicrobial Peptide D-LL-31: A Potential Mouthwash Solution

Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is a key pathogen in periodontal disease, damaging periodontal ligaments and alveolar bone through biofilm formation. D-LL-31, an engineered antimicrobial peptide, exhibits superior biofilm-killing ability compared to conventional treatments, while DNase I enhances its efficacy by disrupting the biofilm matrix. This study evaluated the combined effects of D-LL-31 and DNase I on A. actinomycetemcomitans biofilms. Results showed that D-LL-31 effectively eradicated biofilms, and its combination with DNase I further enhanced biofilm disruption without cytotoxicity to gingival epithelial cells. The D-LL-31 and DNase I combination shows potential for development as a mouthwash to improve oral health and combat periodontal disease.
