Screening and Identification of Goat-Milk-Derived Lactic Acid Bacteria with Bacteriocin-like Activity and Probiotic Potentials.

In the current study, we screened 46 isolates of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) derived from goat milk for bacteriocin producers that can inhibit common foodborne pathogens (, , and ). The following three strains that showed antimicrobial activity against all indicators were identified: DH9003 and DH9012, and DH9011. Their antimicrobial products exhibited typical bacteriocin characteristics, such as heat stability and proteinase nature.
