Distal parts of the fish intestine were analyzed for presence of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli using selective agars. Seventy seven samples from Cyprinus carpio, Oncorhynchus mykiss, Carassius auratus, Tinca tinca, Perca fluviatilis, Rutilus rutilus, Scardinius erythrophthalmus, Oreochromis niloticus, and Squalius cephalus were collected randomly throughout years 2008 and 2009. Bifidobacteria were detected in 5 samples from 4 fish species at counts 2.18–4.29 log CFU/g, lactobacilli were present in 6 fish species at counts 1.21–3.65 log CFU/g. Seven bifidobacterial isolates were identified to the species level using biochemical tests and by sequencing of 16S rRNA gene. Three strains belonged to species B. longum, two isolates were identified as B. dentium, one strain as B. asteroides and one isolate was not determined to the species level by employed methods. As identified bifidobacterial species are considered to be of human, animal or honeybee origin, they probably derived as contamination from sewage or other sources. After further more detail testing, the possible use of isolated bifidobacteria as probiotics is promising since they were able to pass through the digestive tract successfully.
