The diversity of non-starter lactic acid bacteria in raw, pasteurised milk and maturated Swiss type cheese was tested. The aim of the present study was to analyse the concentrations and representatives of non-starter lactic acid bacteria in raw milk and to evaluate the changes of their concentrations and representatives during pasteurisation of cheese milk and Swiss-type cheese production. The analysis carried out in the study showed a variation in the microbial composition and quantity of raw milk. The most frequently isolated lactobacilli were found at low level in raw milk (mean 27.5×104 CFU mLE-1) and the most frequently identified species were Lactobacillus brevis and Lactobacillus paracasei. The microflora of raw and pasteurised milk is similar analysing lactic acid bacteria representatives in the samples. Lactobacillus brevis and Lactobacillus paracasei were detected in the same samples in raw milk, pasteurised milk and maturated cheese. Our study showed that lactic acid bacteria concentration was quite low in pasteurised milk (1-12 CFU mLE-1), but they grow rapidly in cheese during ripening reaching 1.1-1.8*106 CFU gE-1. The present study has shown that NSLAB in Swiss-type cheese mainly derive from raw milk, and only a few strains survive the processing conditions and grow during ripening.
