From 2014 up to date, further investigations have investigated weissellas for their antagonistic activity against pathogens (Jang et al, 2016 ; Shah et al, 2016 ; Das Purkhayastha et al, 2017 ; Ye K. et al, 2018 ; Yu et al, 2018 ; Dey et al, 2019 ; Tenea and Israel Lara, 2019 ; Dinoto et al, 2021 ; Yeu et al, 2021 ; Styková et al, 2022 ; Yang C. et al, 2022 ; Yao D. et al, 2022 ; El-Mekkawy et al, 2023 ; Fanelli et al, 2023b ; Table 5 ). In addition, Kang and Park ( 2022 ) demonstrated the in vitro inactivation of respiratory viruses, namely, human respiratory syncytial virus (RSC) and the influenza A virus (H1N1) and rotavirus by the oral probiotic strain W. cibaria CMS1, isolated from the saliva of Korean children with healthy oral cavity.…”
