BS EN bactericidal suspension assays—reducing microbial load in bulk water. The antimicrobial activity of the three test disinfectants against E. coli ATCC 10536 was assessed using standard
The human vaginal microbiome is dominated by bacteria from the genus Lactobacillus, which create an acidic environment thought to protect women against sexually transmitted pathogens and opportunistic infections. Strikingly, lactobacilli dominance appears to be unique to humans; while the relative abundance of lactobacilli in the human vagina is typically >70%, in other mammals lactobacilliUTI and probiotics. Most of the recurrent UTIs in women occur in the presence of uropathogenic E. coli. Antibiotics used in the treatment of these infections reduce the number of lactobacilli in the urinary system and may cause antibiotic resistance in the following period and destroy the existing natural barrier of the urinary system formed Escherichia coli (hencefourth E. Coil) bacteria are found in healthy people's intestines as natural flora. Only a very small percentage, like the E. coli O157:H7 variety, can lead to severe stomach discomfort, bloody diarrhea, and vomiting; the rest of the E. coli variety is harmless. For this study, the researchers chose to encapsulate a type of commercially available probiotic known as Bio-K+, which consists of three strains of Lactobacillus bacteria. These strains are known to kill methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The exact mechanism by which they do this is not known, but one possibility is that the ueoW.
