Uterine infections are one of the major reproductive complications during postpartum. The antibiotics and antiseptic agents used in the treatment of postpartum infections can pose risk of residues in food, induce bacterial resistance, and increase financial cost and failure in defense mechanisms. Nowadays probiotics are frequently used for multiple purposes in humans and animals. Preventive treatment with probiotic products could decrease the use of antibiotics on dairy farms. The objective of this study was to compare the antagonistic properties of isolated vaginal lactic acid bacteria (LAB) against the most prevalent bacteria in uterine infections.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
