Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are a group of related bacteria that produce lactic acid as a result of carbohydrate
fermentation. They comprise a clade of Gram positive, usually non motile acid tolerant microorganisms. They are
generally non-spore forming, non-respiring cocci, coccobacilli or rods. LAB growth lowers both the carbohydrate
content of the food that they ferment and the pH due to the lactic acid production. Certain LAB strains have been
reported to be highly antagonistic to biofilm forming S.aureus [1].
