Background: Searching for a non-antibiotic therapeutic option such as probiotics is gaining momentum nowadays. We aimed to evaluate the in vitro antibacterial ability of cell-free supernatant (CFS) of selected Lactobacillus strains (with probiotic properties) against clinical isolates of OXA-48-producing multidrug-resistant (MDR) Klebsiella pneumoniae separately and in combination with cefoperazone antibiotic.
Methods: Over a period of 8 months, a cross-sectional experimental study involving 590 Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates was done.

Article Synopsis
- This study looked at how a specific bacteria called Lactobacillus casei behaves in a yogurt-like food called labneh during storage and digestion.
- The researchers tested different ways to protect the bacteria, using special materials to keep them safe while in labneh.
- Results showed that the encapsulated bacteria stayed alive and worked better than the regular bacteria, especially when they were stored in cold temperatures!
