Abstract
Mixtures of strains of Lactobacillus spp., two of strains inhibitory t o growth of the porcine enteropathogen Escherichia coli O149 : K88ac : K91 in a co-culture screen, and one of strains with no effect on this pathogen, were examined to determine their effects on the retention o f this pathogen in an in-vitro continuous culture system designed to m aintain a representation of the porcine ileal microflora. Strains effe ctive in co-culture also increased the rate of decline of the pathogen in the continuous culture. The inhibitory effect exceeded the displac ement effect observed with non-inhibitory strains.
