Objective: This study aims to evaluate the direct antimicrobial activity of vitamin D3 and omega- 3 individually, combined together, and combined with low concentrations of gentamicin or amphotericin B against selected pathogenic microorganisms. In addition, this study hypothesizes the potential antimicrobial mechanism and recommends suitable studies to be conducted.
Article Synopsis
- The study tested a commercially available multi-species probiotic conditioned medium (CM) on RAW264.7 murine macrophages, prepared by culturing probiotics and sterilizing the supernatant for testing.
- Results showed that all CM dilutions maintained high cell viability (>80%), with undiluted CM (100%) significantly enhancing macrophage activity, indicating probiotics may boost immune function and overall health.
