Abstract
The ability of acid supernatants of Lactobacillus acidophilus isolated from a vinegar were
tested against methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) with lipolytic activity isolated from acne
pimple. Results revealed a significant effect of cell free supernatant on MRSA isolates in comparison with
control. Furthermore, subinhibitory concentrations of acid supernatants found to be very effective in
inhibiting the production of lipase from biofilm and planktonic cells of MRSA isolates. What's more, acid
supernatants of L. acidophilus showed inhibiting effect on the crude lipase in egg yolk agar plates
