In vitro and in vivo evidences for innate immune stimulators lactic acid bacterial starters isolated from fermented camel dairy products.

ABSTRACT: Probiotics are commensals with special characteristics that are essential for the development of the immune system, and may protect mucosal surfaces against pathogens. In this study, a total of 40 lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated from different raw and fermented camel's milk samples collected from Saudi Arabia (Makkah area) and Egypt (Fayoum), and tested for the probiotic properties. Among them, Pro 4 and Pro 7 isolates exhibited excellent probiotic potential including bile salt (0.2-0.6%), phenol tolerance (0.2-0.4%) and salt tolerance (0.0-10%). Furthermore, both strains exhibited antimicrobial activity against wide range of food-borne pathogens and Dermatophytes with average zone inhibition of 37.5, 35.5, 34.5, 27.5, 25 and 23.5 mm for Staphylococcus aureus, Trichophyton mentagr
