Antimicrobial activity of polysaccharides some bacteria genus Enterococcus against pneumonia pathogens

Abstract

The aim of this work was to study some LAB strains of the Enterococcus genus with probiotic properties synthesizing polysaccharides on the ability to inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria that cause pneumonia. The HPLC method used showed that the isolated polysaccharides of Enterococcus strains with antimicrobial activity consist of glucose and galactose molecules. Now are studying the physicochemical properties of polysaccharides, which can be promising in future. It is concluded that the use of metabolites of the genus Enterococcus as bioinhibitors is promising.
