Abstract:
Isolate, purify, and identify bacteria from probiotic supplement. Results: 5 strains of lactic bacteria were determined, including: Steptococus feacalis; Streptococcus lactic; Bifidobacterium bifidum; Lactobaccillus acidophilus; Lactobacillus casei. Study the sensitivity of these bacteria with antibiotics, results showed that these bacteria were resistant to many antibiotics, especially oral antibiotics. Conjugative trial between Streptoccocus feacalis, Streptococus lactic, Bifidobacterium bifidum, lactobacillus acidophilus casei and E.coli K12, and conjugative trial of lactic bacteria together showed negative results. Therefore, probiotic product contained many lactic bacteria can be used concomitant with some oral antibiotics to prevent or treat digestive disorders
