Abstract
Background: The mounting antibiotic resistance emphasizes an urgent need for alternatives. Recent investigations indicate that non-digestible oligosaccharides (NDOs), besides their prebiotic properties, can directly interact with pathogenic bacteria. In this study, the protective effect of alginate-oligosaccharides (AOS), chitosanoligosaccharides (COS), galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) and fructo-oligosaccharides, against enteropathogenicEscherichia. coli was investigated. Methods: The
