Screening and Identification of Effective Thermotolerant Lactic Acid Bacteria Producing Antimicrobial Activity Against Escherichia coli and Salmonella sp. Resistant to Antibiotics

Two hundred fifty six isolates of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) displaying antimicrobial activity were isolated from chicken intestine. Twenty effective isolates of LAB show bacteriocin – like activity (BLA) against the target strains resistant to antibiotics (Escherichia coli and Salmonella sp.) to varying degrees. Broad spectrum inhibition specific (SIS) were found from 6 h cultivation while the longer cultivation time of 12 and 24 h appeared either the loss of BLA or the inhibition activity against the different target strain. Only 3 effective thermotolerant isolates, i.e., KUB-AC5, KUB-AC16 and KUB-AC20, exerted broad SIS against all target strains except Salmonella sp. S001. However, BLA belonging to KUB-AC5 could not inhibit growth of E. coli E006 and E010 whereas KUB-AC20 did not inhibit only E. coli E006. Based on biochemical, physiological and molecular systematic method, these isolates were classified as Lactobacillus reuteri.
