Antimicrobial activity of isolated bacteria against P. larvae identified by inhibition zone on an agar plate

Twenty of the 67 isolates showed antimicrobial activity with different sizes of inhibition zone, and six of the 20 isolates (indicated by arrows) belonging to different species were selected as probiotic candidates; the selected strains were OMG2_B25 (L. kullabergensis; Lk), HSY8_B25 (L. apis; La), PKH2_L3 (L. panisapium; Lp), OMG2_B33 (L. mellis; Lm), HSY3_B5 (L. melliventris; Lmv), and AHS3_B36 (L. kimbladii; Lkb)
