High Doses of Halotolerant Gut-Indigenous Lactobacillus plantarum Reduce Cultivable Lactobacilli in Newborn Calves without Increasing Its Species Abundance by Alexander Rodriguez-Palacios, Henry R. Staempfli, J. Scott Weese

“…High doses significantly reduced other fecal lactic acid bacteria (e.g., lactobacilli, P<0.01) and slightly reduced body weight gain in calves after treatment. For the first time, a halotolerant strain of L. plantarum with inhibitory activity against a human pathogen has the ability to inhibit other lactobacilli in vivo without changing its species abundance, causing transintestinal translocation, or inducing clinical disease. …”
