Table 3 Susceptibility patterns to antibiotics among cultured strains of Lactobacillus.

CFM, cefixime; AZM, azithromycin; AMX, amoxicillin; D, doxycycline; SXT, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole; CP, ciprofloxacin; CN, cephalexin; AMC, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid; V, vancomycin. Cefixime results based on R ≤ 15 mm; I: 16–18 mm; S ≥ 19 mm. Azithromycin resistance results based on R ≤ 13 mm; I: 14–17 mm; S ≥ 18 mm. Amoxicillin results based on R ≤ 18 mm; I: 19–21 mm; S ≥ 22 mm. Doxycycline results based on R ≤ 10 mm; I: 11–13 mm; S ≥ 14 mm. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole results based on R ≤ 25 mm; I: 26–29 mm; S ≥ 30 mm. Ciprofloxacin results based on R ≤ 15 mm; I: 16–20 mm; S ≥ 21 mm. Cephalexin results based on R ≤ 14 mm; I: 15–17 mm; S ≥ 18 mm. Amoxicillin-clavulanic acid results based on R ≤ 13 mm; I: 14–17 mm; S ≥ 18 mm. Vancomycin results based on R ≤ 14 mm; I: 15–16 mm; S ≥ 17 mm. Performance Standards for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing were obtained from the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute, Twenty-Third Information Supplement, Wayne, PA (CLSI 2013).
*The values are the means ± standard errors of triplicate samples. ^a−e Means in the same column with different lowercase letters differ significantly (p < 0.05).
