Conclusion
Although lactic acid bacteria are a large group of
bacteria isolated from traditional fermented beef
product (mum) in Thailand, there are only some
strains that are sensitive to antibiotics commonly used
in animals. The selection of these bacterial strains
used for the starter culture in food fermentation is an
alternative that will give consumers confidence and
not to eat products containing lactic acid bacteria to be
the reservoirs transferred an antibiotic resistance genes
to other bacteria. Further research, should be tested for
sensitivity to the antibiotics in the other traditional
Thai fermented foods that from animal origins
including pla-som, pla-chom and nham.
