Antimicrobial activity of acid lactic bacteria isolated from raw milk and cheese in Brazil. Lactic acid bacteria isolated from raw milk and cheese in Brazil with activity against pathogens

This study investigates the bacteriocinogenic and probiotic potential of autochthonous strains isolated from raw milk and artisanal cheese in Brazil. Genetically distinct strains, characterized by REP-PCR, were identified using MALDI-TOF. Confirmed lactic acid bacteria were then evaluated for their ability to inhibit pathogens and promote health.
