Translations:Lactobacillus acidophilus/3/en

L. acidophilus has antagonistic effects on the growth for Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, and Clostridium perfringens. Out of the four organisms, Staphylococcus aureus is the most affected. Along with S. aureus, the other Gram-positive bacteria, C. perfringens, was affected more by L. acidophilus, than the two other bacteria that are Gram-negative. L. acidophilus is found to also reduce oral plaque formation by Streptococcus mutans.
