- Abstract
Probotic strains Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Saccharomyces boulardii, Streptococcus faecalis and Lactobacillus acidophilus have been found to enhance the antagonistic activity of antibiotics (Amoxycillin/Clavulanate Azithromycin, Ciprofloxacin and Levofloxacin) against the standard and clinical isolates of staphylococcus. Probotic strains were isolated from the commercial probotic products "Darolac" and "Prepro" by using suitable protocol. For this study the Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method was used. Zone of inhibition of antibiotics was enhanced in 84.375% tests by probiotic strains against the standard and clinical isolates of staphylococcus. No enhancement was seen in 12.5% of tests while reduction of zone was observed only in 3.125% tests. This study endorses the role of Probiotic strains in reducing the multiple drug resistance of staphylococcus.
