Stored ewe’s milk lump cheese is a local product that can be a source of autochthonous beneficial microbiota, especially lactic acid bacteria. The aim of this study was to show the antimicrobial potential of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum LP17L/1 isolated from stored ewe’s milk lump cheese. Lpb. plantarum LP17L/1 is a non-hemolytic, non-biofilm-forming strain, susceptible to antibiotics. It contains genes for 10 bacteriocins—plantaricins and exerted active bacteriocin with in vitro anti-staphylococcal and anti-listerial effect. It does not produce damaging enzymes, but it produces β-galactosidase. It also sufficiently survives in Balb/c mice without side effects which indicate its safety. Moreover, a reduction in coliforms in mice jejunum was noted. LP17L/1 is supposed to be a promising additive for Slovak local dairy products.
