Cover Story: Bee colonies are constantly threatened by American foulbrood, which is caused by the Gram-positive bacterium Paenibacillus larvae. This is a highly specialized pathogen with only one established host: honey bee larvae. This study investigated the antimicrobial activity of selected bacteria with proven probiotic potential with typical characteristics meeting the definition of a probiotic that could reduce American foulbrood pressure by promoting the development of the larvae microbiome that competes with and blocks the excessive proliferation and production of P. larvae endospores. The largest zone of growth inhibition of P. larvae was confirmed with S. narbonensis, B. licheniformis, and B. megaterium, and a medium amount of activity was observed with L. brevis and B. pumilus. Negligible activity was shown by L. fusiformisView this paper
