Abstract
ALactobacillus isolate was collected from the feces of a healthy Korean individual and named asLactobacillus ruminus SPM0211. It was further characterized by subjecting it to an antibiotic resistance test and genetic analysis. In the antibiotic resistance test, all testedLactobacillus spp. were classified as “high resistance” for multiple antibiotics, such as isoniazid, ethambutol, cycloserine, and vancomycin.L. ruminus SPM0211 was classified as “high resistance” for streptomycin also, while the other testedLactobacillus spp. were classified as low resistance. This suggests that, the antimicrobial spectra may be a good indicator in the discrimination of this strain among the testedLactobacillus spp. In a polymerase chain reaction-random amplified polymorphic DNA (PCR-RAPD) analysis using the Microbial Uniprimer kit,L. ruminus SPM0211, andL. suebicus were clustered as a group with a 74.3% similarity level, suggesting that these two species are genetically related. Thus, our data suggest that the PCR-RADP method using the Microbial Uniprimer kit may be valuable in discriminatingL. ruminus SPM0211 from otherLactobacillus spp.
