AbstractNowadays, there is an increasing interest in the production of functional foods, particularly probiotic foods. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) particularly strains of Lactobacillus are important bacteria in food microbiology and human nutrition due to their ability to fermented food production and have received considerable attention as probiotics. The traditional fermented dairy foods as a rich source of wild LAB can introduce new Lactobacillus strain with probiotic properties into food products. So, the present study was aimed to isolate and identify Lactobacilli spp. in traditional dairy products and to assess some of their probiotic properties. For this study, fifty samples including homemade yogurt and cheese were purchased from several rural areas and the intragenic transcribed spacer-PCR (16-23s rDNA) was used for identification of Lactobacilli. Some probiotic properties were assayed including resistant to acid and bile, antimicrobial activity, and antibiotic susceptibility.en
