Forty strains of lactobacilli isolated from probiotic supplements or functional foods, and two clinical isolates, have been identified by API 50 CHL and tested for susceptibility to vancomycin. All the Lactobacillus acidophilus (16) and Lact. delbreuckii (two) strains were sensitive to vancomycin, while all the other strains (mainly Lact. rhamnosus, 15) were resistant. Susceptibility to other antibiotics was not species‐specific. Differential susceptibility to vancomycin may be helpful in…

Genotypic and phenotypic characterization of food-associated Lactobacillus plantarum isolates for potential probiotic activities.
TLDR
This study highlights analysis of a subset of preliminary important strain specific features to inform isolate comparison and selection for current functional food associations and that can serve as a basis for future strain and food-microbe fermentation product development.
Critical insights into antibiotic resistance transferability in probiotic Lactobacillus.
Isolation and characterization of lactic acid bacteria from Chinese human milk.
TLDR
Two novel strains of LAB were obtained that have similar characteristics to the reference strain CECT5716 and are identified as potential probiotic candidates for application in the food and pharmaceutical industries and facilitated identification of further probiotics.
Comparative genomic analyses of Lactobacillus rhamnosus isolated from Chinese subjects
Vancomycin-Induced Modulation of Gram-Positive Gut Bacteria and Metabolites Remediates Insulin Resistance in iNOS Knockout Mice
TLDR
It is demonstrated that vancomycin-mediated depletion of gram-positive bacteria in iNOS−/− mice reversed the metabolic perturbations, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance.
Isolation and characterization of lactic acid bacteria from traditional fermented fish product Shidal of India with reference to their probiotic potential

TLDR
High-dose penicillin (greater than 25 million units/day) in combination with an aminoglycoside for a period of six weeks appears to be the optimum therapy.
