Abstract
The inhibitory activity of lactic acid bacteria were tested against 10 randomly selected
isolates of Campylobacter jejuni out of 42 isolates obtained from 3099 raw milk samples of local
vendors of Chennai region in India. Among the tested lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria for their
antagonistic activity, the cell free supernatant of L4 acidophi/us and L. delbrueckii ssp. helveticus
inhibited the growth of tested C. jejuni isolates in vitro where as Lactobac/I/us delbrueckii ssp.
bulgaricus, Bifidobacterium bifidum and Bifidobacterium Iongum failed to show any inhibition to the
tested isolates.
