The survival rate of P. larvae infected larvae fed with isolated LAB. The six isolated strains were singly supplied to each group of larvae, and one group was provided with a mixture of six strains. On the first day, after the administration of LAB, the larvae were infected with P. larvae. The number of living larvae was examined daily in each group to calculate the survival rate until the fifth day. The control group was neither infected with P. larvae nor fed with the LAB. Another group was infected with P. larvae without the administration of LAB.
