Antimicrobial activity of probiotic strain Enterococcus faecium 1-35

Abstract

The study examines the search for alternative solutions to replace feed antibiotics for poultry farming. During the study of the probiotic strain Enterococcus faecium 1-35, its antimicrobial properties against some pathogenic microorganisms were established. Using a bioinformatics approach, genes for non-ribosomal peptide synthetases were discovered in the genome of Enterococcus faecium 1-35. A synthesis product of which is believed to have biological activity. Enterococcus faecium strain 1-35, capable of synthesizing active peptide products, can be regarded as an alternative solution when replacing feed antibiotics. The results obtained require additional studies of practical application to confirm the expected effect.
