%X Salmonellosis is the most prevalent bacterial foodborne disease in many
countries worldwide. Utilization of probiotics is one of the most accepted ways
to reduce<span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Salmonella</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">,
especially lactic acid bacteria, as it has proven to reduce the enteric</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">pathogens in monogastric
and ruminant livestock animals through different mechanisms such as
antimicrobials production, competitive adhesion to the gastrointestinal tract,
and immune stimulation. Prebiotics could be utilized solely for health benefits
as an alternative to probiotics or in addition to probiotics for a synergistic
effect known as synbiotics. The aim of this study was to compare effects of
different probiotic strains (</span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Lactobacillus acidophilus </span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">(La-14)</span><span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">,</span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> Lactobacillus paracasei </span></i></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">(Lpc-37)</span><span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">,</span><i> <span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Streptococcus

without prebiotics (Mannose; Xylose; Galactooligosaccharides GOS; Inulin; and
Dandelion extract) on lowering </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Salmonella
heidelberg</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> CFU </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">in vitro</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">.
Different inhibition levels probiotic strains were assessed and compared in the
presence and absence of 2.5% prebiotic compounds using cross-streaking and agar
well diffusion assays.
