Comparative Study of the effect of milk type on antimicrobial activity of the Prophet Mohammad (SWS) Drink s

Prophet Mohammad (SWS) Drink s (Kefiran) which is acidifying fermented milk is accepted as a good example of a probiotic mixture of bacteria and yeast. In this study investigated the antimicrobial activity of 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours fermented DPM (kefiran) against isolated bacteria from gastroenteritis patients using two types of milk. The results of antimicrobial susceptibility test against gram negative and positive bacteria showed the majority of isolates were resistant to most antimicrobials. The MIC values ranged from (≤ 0.125 - ≤ 320 μg/ml). The inhibition zone of 24 hours incubation of DPM (Kefiran) against all isolates was between (6-8 mm) and (8-10 mm). The effects at 48hours of incubation of DPM (kefiran) against all isolates was between (7-9 mm) and (10-12 mm). The effects at 72 hours of incubation the inhibition zone was between (9-11 mm) and (10-12 mm). The maximum activity of the Prophet Mohammad Drink s was recorded at 96 hours of incubation period against all isolates; the inhibition zone was between (9-11 mm) and (12-14 mm). The current study concludes that the antimicrobial activity of the Prophet Mohammad (SWS) Drink s (Kefiran) is greater with the coconut milk.
