Antibacterial Activity of Postbiotic from Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) against Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)

Abstract

In recent years, the focus has shifted towards postbiotic as the alternative treatment of diseases. This is because new scientific evidence stated that the viability of probiotics is not obligatory to derive the beneficial health benefits as the metabolites of the live bacteria are the driving force behind it.  The metabolites of the probiotics are found beneficial as a potential antibacterial compound to inhibit the growth of pathogens. In recent years, the increasing prevalence of Methicillin Resistant S.aureus has posed significant challenges which lead to limited treatments options and higher mortality rates. Therefore, in this study, the antibacterial properties of postbiotic from LGG against MRSA were investigated.
