Figure 1: Inhibition of C. difficile (CD) strains growth by L. plantarum (LP) strains after 48h co-cultivation (log10 CFU/ml after 48h incubation - log10 CFU/ml in the beginning of the experiment). N, N1, N2, N3, N4, N5 - C. difficile strains isolated from Norwegian patients; E, E1, E2, E3, E4, E5 - C. difficile strains isolated from Estonian patients; M ā C. difficile strain M13042; VPI ā C. difficile strain VPI; LP N11, N27, N33, N44 - L. plantarum strains isolated from Norwegian patients; LP E56 - L. plantarum strain isolated from an Estonian patient. FQ resistance ā sensitivity of C. difficile strains to moxifloxacin; R- resistant; Sā sensitive. NTstrain was not typable |
