This study aims to present knowledge on therapeutic potential bacteriocin producing bacterial strains. Samples (n=35) from diverse Ernakulam sources yielded 26 lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolates on De Man Rogosa Sharpe (MRS) medium. Among the isolates potent antimicrobial activity observed against known pathogens in one of the isolates from goat milk sample number 3, labelled as GO3. Microscopic and biochemical test revealed the isolate is Gram-positive rod, non-sporulating and resilience to pH and bile salts, with adaptability to gastric enzymes and surfactants. Genetic and physiological traits of the positive strains were confirmd by 16S rRNA technique. Blast analysis revealed that sequence of the strain GO3 from goat milk identified as Lactobacillus casei, exhibited antibiotic sensitivity, auto-aggregation, co-aggregation, and antibiofilm assays highlighted inhibitory properties as a promising therapeutic potential probiotic bacterium. LAB isolates can be further investigated at the genetic level to enhance their probiotic characteristics such as resistance and cellular adhesion. Additionally, the identification of gene responsible for expressing bacteriocins can be conducted on these isolates.
