- Recent research highlights the growing interest in discovering new probiotic strains due to increased market demand, focusing on 15 Lactobacillus isolates from Iranian dairy products.
- A novel strain identified as Lactobacillus crustorum KH showed significant properties, including tolerance to acidity, bile, and salinity, along with notable antibacterial activity against harmful bacteria.
- In animal studies, both live and heat-killed L. crustorum KH were tested for their protective effects against E. coli O157:H7 in mice, with heat-killed cells offering some protection, though less effective than the live cells.
