Biocontrol capacity of bacteria isolated from sawdust of the dairy cattle production environment.

This research paper aimed to find endemic bacteria from the cattle production system to control the growth of mastitis pathogens. Bacteria were isolated from compost barn sawdust of two dairy cattle systems and later tested to verify their ability to control the growth of Staphylococcus aureus isolates obtained from cattle with mastitis. Bacterial isolates from these systems were tested to verify biocontrol capacity using the double-layer method.

Effect of probiotic bacteria in composition of children's saliva.

Probiotics are widely used in the food industry and may affect the oral microbiota. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of petit-suisse plus probiotic on the microbiota of children's saliva. Strawberry flavor petit-suisse cheese plus green banana flour without Lactobacillus casei (control) and with addition of Lactobacillus casei (probiotic) were prepared and used in the experiments.
