Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluated the inhibitory effects of nine Enterococcus faecium strains from healthy dogs on pathogenic bacteria and aflatoxin B1 production using two testing methods.
  • E. faecium strains MF1, GJ18, and GJ40 showed significant antimicrobial activity, with GJ40 having the largest inhibition zones (26-27 mm) against pathogens, especially Gram-negative bacteria.
  • Despite no significant inhibition of Aspergillus growth, the cell-free supernatants reduced AFB1 production by 8 to 87%, indicating potential benefits in controlling certain pathogens and mycotoxin production.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated how lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from healthy dog feces impact the lag phase, growth rate, and aflatoxin B1 production by harmful Aspergillus fungi in lab settings.
  • E. faecium GJ40 was found to extend the lag phase of Aspergillus, while E. faecium MF5 significantly reduced the growth rate of A. parasiticus.
  • Most LAB isolates lowered aflatoxin B1 production, although a few strains did not show this effect.
