AB  - A variety of probiotics show promise as effective therapies in the control of diarrhoea, however, diets and geographical locations affect probiotic therapy. In this pilot study, four indigenous probiotic candidates, Lactobacillus acidophilus AAOOL4, L. reuteri AAOOCH1, L. plantarum AAOO25NN and L. delbrueckii AAOOT20 were investigated for their in vitro bactericidal effects on bacterial pathogens implicated in infantile diarrhoea using the Tukey test. The inoculum levels were between 5 log10 cfu g-l at 1% (inoculum per ogi sample) for 96 h at 35°C. The bactericidal effect of the probiotic candidates on the microbial load of the inoculated samples was determined by plate counts 24 hourly. Significant differences (p
