Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus, as a foodborne pathogen causing significant harm worldwide, was studied to assess the effectiveness of probiotic strains Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus plantarum, and Bifidobacterium bifidum individually and collectively (as consortia) in controlling its growth. The growth patterns of S. aureus were observed when co-cultured with each probiotic strain and a consortium of all three strains over 72 hours. Additionally, the antimicrobial activity of probiotic cell-free supernatants (CFS) against S. aureus was tested using the agar well diffusion method. This study underscores the potential of L. plantarum and a consortium of L. casei, L. plantarum, and B. bifidum in controlling S. aureus growth.
