E-mail: Departamento [email protected] de Patologia, Faculdade Many attempts have been made to establish the control of foodborne pathogens through Lactobacillus isolates and their metabolism products with success being obtained in sev- eral situations. The aim of this study was to investigate the antagonistic effect of eight Lac- tobacillus isolates, including L. casei subsp. pseudoplantarum, L. plantarum, L. reuteri and L. delbrueckii subsp. delbrueckii, on the pathogenic Escherichia coli strain O157:H7. The inhibitory effect of pure cultures and two pooled cultures supernatants of Lactobacillus on the growth of pathogenic bacteria was evaluated by the spot agar method and by monitor- L. reuteri and L. delbrueckii subsp. delbrueckii and for a pool of lactic acid bacteria.
