In-vitro selection of lactic acid bacteria to combat Salmonella enterica and Campylobacter jejuni in broiler chickens

In-vitro selection of LAB strains for antimicrobial applications in livestock production required specific focus on certain LAB strains. Accordingly, six commercial LAB strains (homofermentative, obligatory heterofermentative and facultative heterofermentative) belonging to different genera, were chosen for screening against strains of Salmonella and Campylobacter jejuni under in-vitro conditions.
