The influence of lactite and lactulose on growth of probiotic strains B. subtilis UKM 5139 and B. subtilis UKM 5140 and conditionally pathogenic microorganisms has been studied. It is shown that the extent of influence of these substances depends on their concentration. Addition of lactite or lactulose in the nutrient medium stimulated growth of probiotic bacilli strains in concentration of 15-20 % and inhibited growth of conditionally pathogenic microorganisms. It specifies the prebiotic properties of the studied disaccharides. It is established that the extent of inhibition of P. vulgaris, S. flexnery, S. enterica abony, E. coli 028 by lactulose was higher in comparison with the extent of their inhibition by lactite, but in turn lactite was more effective in relation to the strains E coli ATCC 25922, C. albicans, S. derby and S. aureus.
