Abstract Summary

Researchers isolated Lactiplantibacillus plantarum from Egyptian fermented dairy products and demonstrated its postbiotic metabolites effectively combat multidrug-resistant bacteria. The strain showed strong antibacterial and antibiofilm activity against clinically important pathogens including E. coli, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, and K. pneumoniae, offering a promising natural alternative to antibiotics.
