Applicability of rep-PCR fingerprinting for identification of Lactobacillus species.
PCR amplification of repetitive bacterial DNA elements fingerprinting using the (GTG)(5) primer ((GTG)(5)-PCR) was proven to be useful for differentiation of a wide range of lactobacilli (i.e. 26… Expand

OBJECTIVES
To determine MICs of 16 antimicrobials representing all major classes for 473 taxonomically well-characterized isolates of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) encompassing the genera Lactobacillus,… Expand
In vitro conjugal transfer of tetracycline resistance from Lactobacillus isolates to other Gram-positive bacteria.
The ability of 14 Lactobacillus strains, isolated from fermented dry sausages, to transfer tetracycline resistance encoded by tet(M) through conjugation was examined using filter mating experiments.… Expand
