| Abstract:
|
Probiotics are live microorganisms that have beneficial effects on their host health. Many probiotic strains have been isolated and characterized from various sources. However, there is still limited research on probiotic potential of bacteria isolated from local goat’s milk that are known for their high therapeutic value. Therefore, potential LAB isolates subjected to morphological and biochemical characterization. These isolates showed resistance to low pH and tolerance to different phenol and NaCl concentration. These isolates also showed antimicrobial activity against common foodborne pathogens, i.e: Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. There were two cocci identified as Enterococcus hirae and Enterococcus faecium while the rod-shaped bacteria was identified as Weissella cibaria.
