Perspectives
This study investigates locally isolated Enterococcus strains, highlighting their probiotic potential and biotechnological applications. Despite concerns about antibiotic resistance and virulence factors, the genus remains a focus for probiotic development. Six strains identified in previous research were evaluated through in vitro assays simulating physiological and industrial conditions. The strains demonstrated stress tolerance, enzyme production, organic acid production, and bile salt hydrolase activity. Additionally, they showed survivability under varied storage and temperature conditions. commutatively, this study give a comprehensive overview of in vitro tests required for probiotics validation and industrial applications.
