Abstract
Background and aims
Antibiotic resistance is a growing concern in the fight against Escherichia coli, a pathogen that causes various intestinal diseases. The present study explores the antibacterial effect of lactobacillus on E. coli pathotypes.
Methods
Inpatients stool samples were collected and E. coli pathotypes were identified. The antibacterial effect of five Lactobacillus on the pathotypes was investigated by broth microdilution and well diffusion methods.
Results
The CFS of L. plantarum, L. rueteri and L. acidophilus had the greatest antibacterial effect.
Conclusion
Postbiotics have shown significant bactericidal effects against E. coli pathotypes. Their bactericidal effect can prevent the colonization of these pathotypes in hospitalized patients.
