Abstract

In this research, 21 strains of lactobacilli were isolated from newborn infant faeces. Lactobacillus rhamnosus (seven strains), L. paracasei ssp. paracasei (four strains), L. fermentum (four strains), L. buchneri (two strains), L. brevis (one strain), L. curvatus (one strain) and Lactobacillus sp. (two strains) isolated from infant faeces were analysed for acid production, antibiotics resistances, H2S productions and antimicrobial activities.
