This study aimed to address the need for effective probiotics and antibacterial agents combat American foulbrood disease in honeybees, caused by Paenibacillus larvae. In context of declining honeybee populations due pathogens, we isolated eight lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains from larvae (Apis mellifera L.) evaluated their probiotic potential inhibitory effects against P. Methods included property assessments, such as bile salt resistance, hydrophobicity, auto-aggregation, co-aggregation...
Abstract American foulbrood (AFB) disease, caused by the bacterium Paenibacillus larvae , is a devastating disease affecting honeybee ( Apis mellifera L.) populations worldwide. Commonly treated with antibiotics, which have negative impacts on both honeybees and environment, there an urgent need for alternatives in AFB control. This study aimed to investigate effects of gallic acid (GA) challenged P . spores explore its modulation larval microbiota. Our results demonstrated that presence...
