The study was aimed to characterize the probiotic properties of Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei strain KNI9 and its antagonistic activity against Yersinia enterocolitica subsp. enterocolitica. The strain KNI9 was susceptible to antibiotics such as chloramphenicol, tetracycline, erythromycin, and streptomycin recommended by European food safety authority (EFSA). Strain KNI9 exhibited tolerance to simulated oro-gastrointestinal (OGT) condition, adherence to Caco-2 cells, and antimicrobial activity against intestinal enteric pathogens such as Yersinia enterocolitica subsp. enterocolitica, Shigella boydii, and Listeria monocytogenes. Furthermore, the strain KNI9 inhibited the adherence and invasiveness of Y. enterocolitica subsp. enterocolitica to Caco-2 cell line. These results indicate that the L. paracasei subsp. paracasei KNI9 could be further developed into a potential probiotic strain after appropriate in vivo studies.
