Antibiotic Resistance
Studies have shown that L. fermentum has antibiotic resistances. DNA was isolated from Lactobacillus fermentum and tested for antibiotic resistance against clinically important agents by using broth dilution tests. Different strains of Lactobacillus fermentum demonstrated uniform resistance patterns demonstrating resistance to glycopeptide vancomycin and to tetracycline.

Famous quotes containing the word resistance:
“Even the most subjected person has moments of rage and resentment so intense that they respond, they act against. There is an inner uprising that leads to rebellion, however short- lived. It may be only momentary but it takes place. That space within oneself where resistance is possible remains.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
