[Action of the lactoperoxidase system on Salmonellae and Shigellae].

Abstract

In vitro experiments have demonstrated that the lactoperoxidase system produces a bactericidal effect on salmonellae and shigellae. The physiological concentrations of the components of this system, making it possible to obtain a pronounced bactericidal effect, have been established. Lactobacilli have been shown to potentiate the effect of the lactoperoxidase system. The possibility of realizing the bactericidal properties of the lactoperoxidase system with respect to salmonellae and shigellae in the preparations of immune lactosera, intended for passive enteral immunization against intestinal infections, has been suggested.
