This study was carried out to evaluate the ability of Lactobacillus
acidophilus to prevent and treat Salmonella typhimurium in puppies. In vitro
antibiotic sensitivity test of S. typhimurium was made and the result revealed
that Ciprofloxacin is the most effective.Isolation of L. acidophilus from the
intestinal tract of the normal dogs and also revealed that all Lactobacillus strains
were biochemically identical to standard strain. A bacterial strain that had high
ability to inhibit the growth of S. typhimurium in vitro with high ability to
adhere to intestinal epithelial cells and tolerate the low pH and bile salts was
chosen for the experimental study.
Twenty puppies were divided into four groups and treated
