The use of yeasts with a high titer of probiotic cultures of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and plant components, ascorbic acid in the technology of obtaining functional products - can improve the quality of finished products, nutritional and biological value. The aim of the study was to study the effect of functional components and antibiotics of different groups in the elective nutrient media "Lactobacagar" and "Bifidoagar" on the LAB  titer and their viability. The task of the work is to determine the feasibility of using extracts of milk thistle, rye seeds, flax and ascorbic acid in nutrient media for the viability of LAB yeast "VIVO" with the addition of antibiotics of different groups and concentrations. The effect of the most commonly used antibiotics was studied: benzylpenicillin, azithromycin, lincomycin, gentamicin sulfate, ceftriaxone, norfloxacin, amoxil, streptomycin, tetracycline, erythromycin on the titer of lactic acid concentrations, which correspond to IV bacteria; 50; 25; 12.5; 6.25; 3.13; 1.56; 0.78. Determination of antibiotic resistance of LAB was performed by the method of double dilutions. Determination of antibiotic resistance of LAB was performed by the method of double dilutions. The effectiveness of the use of extracts of milk thistle, flax and red seed, as well as ascorbic acid in the practice of nutrient enrichment has been proven. The introduction of these components into the composition of nutrient media with antibiotics led to an increase in the number of viable LAB cells by 5—9 %. It is recommended to enrich fermented milk products and bakery products with functional components — seeds or meal of red flax, flax and thistle to increase the nutritional value and increase the titer of fermentation microflora.

The spread of resistance to antibiotics is a major health concern worldwide due to the increasing rate of isolation of multidrug resistant pathogens hampering the treatment of infections. The food chain has been recognized as one of the key routes of antibiotic resistant bacteria transmission between animals and humans. Considering that lactic acid bacteria (LAB) could act as a reservoir of transferable antibiotic resistance genes, LAB strains intended to be used as feed additives should be monitored for their safety. Sixty-five LAB strains which might be potentially used as probiotic feed additives or silage inoculants, were assessed for susceptibility to eight clinically relevant antimicrobials by a minimum inhibitory concentration determination. Among antimicrobial resistant strains, a prevalence of selected genes associated with the acquired resistance was investigated. Nineteen LAB strains displayed phenotypic resistance to one antibiotic, and 15 strains were resistant to more than one of the tested antibiotics. The resistance to aminoglycosides and tetracyclines were the most prevalent and were found in 37 and 26% of the studied strains, respectively. Phenotypic resistance to other antimicrobials was found in single strains. Determinants related to resistance phenotypes were detected in 15 strains as follows, the aph(3″)-IIIa gene in 9 strains, the lnu(A) gene in three strains, the str(A)-str(B), erm(B), msr(C), and tet(M) genes in two strains and the tet(K) gene in one strain. The nucleotide sequences of the detected genes revealed homology to the sequences of the transmissible resistance genes found in lactic acid bacteria as well as pathogenic bacteria. Our study highlights that LAB may be a reservoir of antimicrobial resistance determinants, thus, the first and key step in considering the usefulness of LAB strains as feed additives should be an assessment of their antibiotic resistance. This safety criterion should always precede more complex studies, such as an assessment of adaptability of a strain or its beneficial effect on a host. These results would help in the selection of the best LAB strains for use as feed additives. Importantly, presented data can be useful for revising the current microbiological cut-off values within the genus Lactobacillus and Pediococcus.
