Effect of probiotic lactobacilli on the survival of Clostridium difficile in co-culture. Black bars (Inline graphic) show the cell numbers of C. difficile at 0 and 24 h in the absence of Lactobacillus strains. Bars with dashed lines (Inline graphic) show the cell numbers of (A) C. difficile EM304 following 24 h co-culture with L. gasseri APC 678, L. paracasei APC 1483, L. rhamnosus DPC 6111, L. gasseri DPC 6112 or L. gasseri ATCC 33323 and (B) C. difficile VPI 10463 following 24 h co-culture with L. gasseri APC 678, L. rhamnosus DPC 6111 or L. gasseri ATCC 33323. The horizontal dashed line (---) indicates the final count of C. difficile at 24 h in the absence of the Lactobacillus strains. The average and standard error of the mean (SEM) of three independent repetitions are represented.
