Studies on the antagonistic effect of wild strain of Lactobacillus acidophilus from faeces and fresh milk on some pathogen and their adherence to the IEC (Heum epithelial cell) of albino rat is lacking. The aim of the present work was to investigate the antagonistic effect and adhesion properties of Lactobacillus acidophilus strains to the IEC of albino rat. This study shows that wild strain of L. acidophilus from the faeces of human, pig and albino rat can produce antibacterial agent against major pathogenic bacteria. It also reveals that different strains of L. acidophilus have varying degree of adhesion to the IEC of albino rat with the isolate from albino rat having the highest adhesion.
