Özet

The lactic acid bacteria are known to be probiotic and
their important role has been known in making the
biotechnological products and improving human
health. Effective probiotic should be viable, safe, bile
and gastric juices tolerant, able to survive throughout
the human gastrointestinal tract and to colonize a
specific human tract. We aimed to investigate and
compare the probiotic potential of the Lactobacillus
helveticus ATCC 15009 (L. helveticus), Lactobacillus
plantarum ATCC 14917 (L. plantarum), Lactobacillus
delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus ATCC 11842 (L.
bulgaricus), Lactococcus lactis IL1403 (L. lactis
IL1403) and Lactococcus lactis IL1403 bearing pSIP
plasmid (L. lactis IL403 pSIP) in different aspects that
include their ability to tolerate acidic conditions,
gastric acid and intestinal juice. We also evaluated
their hydrophobicity and antibiotic sensitivity.
