In vitro selection and characterization of new probiotic candidates from table olive microbiota. by Cristian Botta, Tomaz Langerholc, Avrelija Cencič, Luca Cocolin

“…A simulation of transit tolerance in the upper human gastrointestinal tract, together with autoaggregation and hydrophobicity, have been decisive in reducing the number of LAB to 17 promising probiotics. None of the selected strains showed intrinsic resistances towards a broad spectrum of antibiotics and were therefore accurately characterized on an undifferentiated and 3D functional model of the human intestinal tract made up of H4-1 epithelial cells. …”
