Abstract

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are among the important groups of bacteria and considered as probiotics development. LAB is mostly isolated from the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) from organism such as oyster. Oyster belongs in to class Bivalvia which live in estuaries area. The purpose of research was to isolate and screened for antibacterial activity against selected pathogens. The LAB was isolated by pour plate method using MRSA (De Man, Rogosa, Sharpe Agar) as selection media for LAB. Then, LAB was screened by an agar diffusion assay for antibacterial activity. The result showed that four isolates (TR-01; TR-02; TR-03 and TR-04) have inhibitory activity against pathogens including E. coli, Salmonella enterica, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus. Therefore, it is needed further assay to selected 4 isolates as potential probiotics.
