  Antagonistic Activity of Bifidobacteria Against Microbial Pathogens
  Author(s): Ibtesam R. Mowafi* and Rafat Khalaphallah
  
  Nowadays, Reports have revealed that intestinal bifidobacteria produce antimicrobial substances that are active against pathogenic bacteria or microflora such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterococcus faecalis. Many mechanisms have been postulated by which Bifidobacteria could produce antimicrobial activity. In addition to their competitive inhibition of the epithelial and mucosal adherence of pathogens and inhibition of epithelial invasion by pathogens, and Bifidobacteria also show antimicrobial activity by producing antimicrobial substances (bacteriocins), H2O2, organic acids and or stimulating mucosal immunity. In this study the isolates of Bifidobacterium strains (Bifidobacterium longum ATCC 15707, Bifidobacterium bifidum LMGD 10645, Bifidobacterium animalis and Bifidobacterium ang.. Read More»
