This research work was executed to isolate potential Lactobacillus spp. from local raw goat milk samples for their antimicrobial activities against different human intestinal pathogens. Isolation of such bacteria was carried out by Man Rogosa Sharpe (MRS) agar media. Identification of the isolated strain was conducted according to the morphological and biochemical tests. Furthermore, growth optimization and their antimicrobial activity also studied against the pathogenic bacteria (Escherichia coli ATCC 25921, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027, Vibrio cholera ATCC 14035 and Salmonella enteric ATCC 14028). A total of 23 isolates were obtained from the raw goat milk samples, among them four isolates were selected on the basis of their antimicrobial activities against pathogenic bacteria. The Lactobacillus spp. showed better growth in 6.5 to 7.5 pH range and temperature range was 35 to 40°C. Thus it can be said that the goat milk provides a natural dwelling place for Lactobacillus spp., which are beneficial to human health.
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.
