Abstract
The growth ofEnterococus fœcium strains CCM 4231 and EF 26, andStaphylococcus gallinarum SG 31 was inhibited by salinomycin and lasalocid at concentrations of 25 and 50 mg/L.Staphylococcus gallinarum was more sensitive to the additives used than were enterococci. Maximum inhibition (90%) was measured after the growth with the SG 31 strain in the presence of both ionophores. Growth of organisms was more inhibited by salinomycin at 25 mg/L (67.5%) than at 50 mg/L (63%). The inhibitory effect in enterococcal strains reached after the addition of salinomycin and lasalocid (on average) 63 and 58%, respectively. The CCM 4231 strain was more inhibited by salinomycin as well as by lasalocid than was the EF 26 strain.
