Genomic Characterization of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum Strains: Potential Probiotics from Ethiopian Traditional Fermented Cottage Cheese.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lactiplantibacillus plantarum is a species found in a wide range of ecological niches, including vegetables and dairy products, and it may occur naturally in the human gastrointestinal tract. The precise mechanisms underlying the beneficial properties of these microbes to their host remain obscure. Although Lactic acid bacteria are generally regarded as safe, there are rare cases of the emergence of infections and antibiotic resistance by certain probiotics.

Objective

An in silico whole genome sequence analysis of putative probiotic bacteria was set up to identify strains, predict desirable functional properties, and identify potentially detrimental antibiotic resistance and virulence genes.

Methods

We characterized the genomes of three L. plantar
