The contamination of food and animal feeds with mycotoxions, particularly aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), poses significant risks to human health and causes economic losses. This study investigated bacteria from various fermented milk products to assess their ability to detoxify AFB1. A variety of household fermented kefir milk, kefir-like beverages, and kefir grains were collected from rural areas and subjected to microbiological analysis.

All isolates showed resistance to erythromycin and the most resistance rates were detected for trimethoprim (86.

Article Synopsis
- * Two methods were employed: one using varying concentrations of rhamnolipid and another using methylene blue in the photodynamic approach, with evaluations conducted through spectrophotometry and electron microscopy.
- * Results indicated that while photodynamic therapy alone was not effective, its combination with rhamnolipid showed promising synergistic effects, particularly in disrupting biofilm structure in more resistant Microsporum species.
Article Synopsis
- Vaginal lactobacilli play a crucial role in preventing bacterial vaginosis and vaginal candidiasis, thereby maintaining vaginal health.
- This study aimed to explore the probiotic potential of vaginal lactobacilli in healthy women from northern Iran by isolating and identifying various strains through genetic sequencing.
- The results revealed 38 strains with strong tolerance to low pH, effective adherence to cells, and notable anti-pathogenic activity, highlighting four strains with the highest probiotic potential.
Background And Objectives: This study assesses the antibiotic susceptibility of vaginal strains and provides data for determining the prevalence of certain antibiotic resistance genes in the new strains of lactobacilli serving as probiotics and selected from healthy women in northern Iran.
Materials And Methods: One hundred premenopausal non-pregnant women in the reproductive age range of 22-50 years participated in this study. The potential probiotic vaginal lactobacilli used in the study included (34.
