Table 7: Table 7 displays the whether the listed strains of probiotic bacteria are resistant or susceptible to the following DNA and RNA synthesis inhibiting antibiotics; Metronidazole (MET), Moxifloxacin (MOX), Ciprofloxacin (CIP), Rifampicin (RIF), Trimethoprim (TRI). (S = Sensitive |R = Resistance | N/A = Information not available| R/S = Bacteria has demonstrated resistance and susceptibility in studies) [130,131,144,146-148].
