Antibiotic Activity of Probiotic Strain Bacillus subtilis 534 Against Clinical Isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii
Abstract
Probiotic strain Bacillus subtilis 534 is the base of sporobacterin, a pharmaceutical. In submerged culture it showed antibiotic activity against many of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and fungi. The spectrum of the antimicrobial activity of the culture fluid depended on the cultivation time and aeration intensity. It was shown that component No. 1 of the antibiotic complex was effective against clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii: 20 out of 24 isolates were susceptible to component No. 1, including 15 strains out of 16 panresistant isolates.
