-Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus ( )MRSA- ,is a multi drug resistant opportunistic bacteria
.known worldwide MRSA cultures are prominent in
hospitals where antibiotics are given to.patients for treatment The antibiotics disrupt. -the natural microbial flora in the body Non
( )pathogenic lactic acid bacteria LAB provide.some promising solutions LAB strains produce
(bacteriocins and fermenting products organic, )acids hydrogen peroxide to help control MRSA growth in vitro . Bacteriocins are small peptides
.synthesized by the ribosomesthat act as toxins,For synthesis an induction factor needs to
( )bind to the histidine kinase receptor for.signal transduction as shown in the figure below
Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus casei were used to test their antimicrobial
.activity against MRSA clinical isolates All tests were done by agar diffusion method on/ . -solid liquid medium Pre culture preparation was
done to subculture the LAB for antimicrobial activity and grown in PeptonizedMilk Nutrient( ).PMN LAB colonies were grown as spots on MRS
.agar MRSA colonies were inoculated in BHI broth.and spread on the same MRS agar Plates were°incubated for 24 to 48 hours at 37 C

Single and mixed LAB strains produce powerful antimicrobial products that
