[The antagonistic action of aerobic sporulating bacteria on the causative agents of endometritis in cattle].

Abstract

247 strains of 14 species of bacteria (genus Bacillus) have been studied for the antagonistic properties relative to a wide range of the cattle endometritis agents which are both museum and isolated by authors under the above pathology. Many species of genus Bacillus showed a pronounced antagonism. Active antagonists can occur in different species. Bacillus subtilis strains are the most active. Multiple antibiotic resistance of endometritis agents has no effect on the antagonistic activity of the spore-forming aerobe strains. It is shown that practically the whole range of the possible bacterial endometritis agents is sensitive to the antagonistic effect of the most active strains of aerobic bacilli. The antagonistic strains promising for further studies have been obtained.
