Lactic acid bacteria isolated from the gut (Apis cerana) is considered to be an interesting properties inhibit pathogens in honey bee, Apis mellifera
Lactic acid bacteria refers to a large group of beneficial bacteria that have similar properties and all produce lactic acid as an end product of the fermentation process.
Bacteriocins are the antimicrobial peptides that produced by lactic acid bacteria and might can inhibit the pathogens.
Thus, the LAB in could potentially be used in the control of honeybee bacteria pathogens in apiculture.
