Recently, probiotic L. lactis strains were reported to possess potential antipathogenic activity and suggested as functional foods for humans or additive to animal feed Probiotics are used to improve the intestinal microbiota balance. The intestinal microbiota has been reported to play a fundamental role in maintaining immune homeostasis Immunity describes the state of having sufficient biological defenses to avoid infection, disease, or other unwanted biological invasion. Innate immunity is the natural resistance that provides resistance through several physical, chemical, and cellular approaches. Subsequent general defenses include secretion of chemical signals (cytokines) and antimicrobial substances, fever, and phagocytic activity associated with inflammatory responses. Through these approaches, innate immunity can prevent the colonization of pathogenic bacteria and the proliferation of cancer cells.23:T521,Lactobacillus strains were isolated from kimchi and investigated for their potential use for probiotic yogurt starters. Two of the isolated strains have over 90% survival rate to artificial gastric acid (pH 2.5, 1% pepsin) and artificial bile acid (0.3% oxgall). These strains were identified as Lactobacillus plantarum by 16S rRNA sequencing, and named as L. plantarum SY11 and L. plantarum SY12. The known carcinogenic enzyme, β-glucuronidase was not produced by L. plantarum SY11 and L. plantarum SY12. These 2 strains were found to be resistant to several antibiotics and strongly adhered to intestinal cells. Antiallergic effect of L. plantarum SY11 and L. plantarum SY12 was demonstrated using nitric oxide (NO) and cytokine production. L. plantarum SY11 and L. plantarum SY12 were capable of significantly decreasing NO production, and reduced T helper 2-associated cytokines, cyclooxygenase-2, tumor necrosis factor-α, and inducible nitric oxide synthase compared to control. Yogurt samples produced using L. plantarum SY11 and L. plantarum SY12 did not show significant differences in microbiological, physicochemical, and sensory properties compared with yogurt sample produced using commercial strain. Therefore, these two strains could be used as probiotic yogurt starters with antiallergic effects.24:T49c,Lactobacillus plantarum KU15149 was demonstrated to have probiotic behavior and functions, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. L. plantarum KU15149 obtained from homemade diced-radish kimchi has a high survival rate under artificial gastric acid (pH 2.5, 0.3% pepsin) and bile salt (0.3% oxgall) conditions. However, L. plantarum KU15149 did not produce β-glucuronidase, which is known to be a carcinogenic enzyme with resistance to several antibiotics, such as gentamycin, kanamycin, streptomycin, tetracycline, and ciprofloxacin. L. plantarum KU15149 strongly adhered to HT-29 cells and had high antioxidant activity in terms of 2,2-diphenyl- 1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical-scavenging and β-carotene bleaching assays. L. plantarum KU15149 also exhibited a pronounced inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) production, along with expression of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase -2 (COX-2) as well as proinflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6, when RAW 264.7 cells were stimulated with LPS. Therefore, L. plantarum KU15149 exhibite
