Introduction: Probiotics Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS), when given in relevant dose, are able to induce strain-specific beneficial effects for health of humans or animals.
Methods: L. rhamnosus strains originating from four medicinal products, 2 dietary foods for special medical purposes and dietary supplement, were tested for susceptibility to antibiotics and chemotherapeutics following L. rhamnosus and L.rhamnosus GG strain identity confirmation with use of PCR, rep-PCR and AFLP methods.
Results And Conclusions: L. rhamnosus working seeds of medicinal products and isolates originating from dietary foods for special medical purposes or dietary supplement were found correctly classified on the levels of species or L. rhamnosus GG strain identities. Antibiotics and chemotherapeutics susceptibility profiles of L. rhamnosus strains allowed for choice of treatment options in six out of seven products under study.

Introduction: Biosurfactants are naturally occurring compounds with various ap-plications, biodegradable, non-toxic, and effective in different conditions. This study fo-cuses on the extraction and evaluation of biosurfactants produced by five strains of lactic acid bacteria [LAB] for their potential to inhibit biofilm formation and adhesion by Strep-tococcus mutans.
Methods: The strains of LAB-producing biosurfactants such as Lactobacillus salivarius, L.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) has the highest mortality rate among cancer types, emphasizing the need for auxiliaries to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) due to resistance and side effects. Metabolites produced by probiotic bacteria exhibit promising anticancer properties against CRC. In the current study, the anticancer effects of cell extract of three potential probiotic lactobacilli strains isolated from camel milk, Lactobacillus helveticus, Lactobacillus gallinarum, and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, as well as that of the standard probiotic strain Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG), on the human colon cancer cell line (HT-29) and the normal HEK293 cell line separately or in combination with 5-FU, were evaluated.

Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) is a persistent organic pollutant (POP) commonly detected in milk and dairy products. These compounds pose a serious threat to the health of consumers due to their considerable bioaccumulation potential, high stability, and toxicity. (2) Methods: The study evaluated the potential of and probiotic cultures to reduce HCB residues in fermented goat milk beverages during 21-day refrigerated storage.
