In Vitro Anti-staphylococcal and Anti-inflammatory Abilities of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus from Infant Gut Microbiota as Potential Probiotic Against Infectious Women Mastitis.

Infectious mastitis is the major cause of early weaning, depriving infants of breastfeeding benefits. It is associated with an inflammatory condition of the breast and lowered resistance to infection. Drug administration during lactation often being contra-indicated, it is therefore important to consider safe therapeutic alternatives to antibiotic and anti-inflammatory therapies, such as probiotics.

Antibiotic susceptibility and heterogeneity in technological traits of lactobacilli isolated from Algerian goat's milk.

The objective of this study was to identify and study the heterogeneity of technological traits of lactobacilli from goat's milk of Algeria and to evaluate in vitro their safety aspect. Using API50 CHL system and 16S rDNA sequencing, 51 % of strains were assigned as Lactobacillus plantarum, 34 % as L. pentosus, 7 % as L.

Characterization of Lactobacillus from Algerian Goat'S Milk Based on Phenotypic, 16S rDNA Sequencing and their Technological Properties.

Nineteen strains of Lactobacillus isolated from goat's milk from farms in north-west of Algeria were characterized. Isolates were identified by phenotypic, physiological and genotypic methods and some of their important technological properties were studied. Phenotypic characterization was carried out by studying physiological, morphological characteristics and carbohydrate fermentation patterns using API 50 CHL system.
