Abstract

In this study, isolated of Lactobacillus acidophilus were evaluated for their antipathogenic
bacterial activity. The antibacterial activity of the three isolated against
intestinal and food borne pathogenic bacteria in vitro was determined by Well's
Diffusion method, a total of three isolates of Lactobacillus acidophilus isolated from
ten different brands of traditional yoghurts showed a various antibacterial activity
against tested pathogenic bacterium, Cronobacter sakazakii isolated from stool
samples was more sensitive to the inhibition(23mm)inhibtion zone than were
Helicobacter pylori that isolated from stool samples (16mm) inhibtion zone and
Clostridium perfringens that isolated from stool samples (15mm). These results may
provide a basis for support therapies for the treatment of intestinal and foodborne
pathogens.
