Abstract

About 50 years ago, antibiotics were introduced for the treatment ofmicrobial diseases. Since then, the greatest threat to the use of antimicrobialagents for therapy of bacterial infections has been the development ofantimicrobial resistance in pathogenic bacteria. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) area heterogeneous group of bacteria found widely in nature. They colonize thegastrointestinal and urogenital tracts of humans and animals, and are presentin foods such as dairy products, fermented meats, fruits and vegetables.Recently many investigators have speculated that commensal bacteria includingLAB may act as reservoirs of antibiotic resistance genes similar to those foundin human pathogens. The aim of this review is to consider the current evidenceon antibiotic resistance of lactic acid bacteria.
