Abstract

Probiotics and their products, due to their beneficial biological properties, participate in optimum functioning of organ systems and form a natural barrier against the overgrowth of undesirable microorganisms. Probiotic bacteria produce biologically active substances, such as bacteriocins, biosurfactants, vitamin K2, and exopolysaccharides. Inhibition of growth and metabolic activity of technologically and medically undesirable microflora, antimicrobial and antiadhesive properties or antibiofilm activity of these substances represent a wide range of their application in medicine, industry and food industry.
