Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are the dominant and advantageous microorganisms of raw and fermented camel milk; these bacteria have the potential to develop functional camel-milk-derived products and can be used in dairy technology. This article presents data on the diversity of LAB, isolated from raw and fermented camel milk. In total, from two samples of raw camel milk and one sample of fermented camel milk, seventeen isolates of LAB were isolated.

Introduction: Bacteriocins produced by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have the potential to cover a very broad field of applications, including the food industry and the medical sector. In the food industry, bacteriocinogenic LAB strains can be used as starter cultures, co-cultures, and bioprotective cultures, which would be used to improve food quality and safety. In the medical sector, bacteriocins of probiotic LAB might play a role in interactions, which take place in human gastrointestinal tract, and contribute to gut health.
