  "abstract": "<p>This paper examined the probiotic characteristics of 29 lactic acid bacteria isolated from traditional sheep ham. The research included isolation and identification of<em>&nbsp;Lactobacillus&nbsp;</em>and&nbsp;<em>Leuconostoc</em>&nbsp;strains.&nbsp;<em>In vitro&nbsp;</em>tests related to their probiotic potential included auto-aggregation and co-aggregation, antibiotic resistance, and hemolysis tests. Auto-aggregation values of the tested strains ranged from 24.5 to 68.1%, co-aggregation values of&nbsp;<em>Lactobacillus</em>,&nbsp;<em>Leuconostoc,</em>&nbsp;and ATCC strain of&nbsp;<em>Escherichia coli</em>&nbsp;ranged from 22.5 to 65.5% after four hours. The isolates showed a significant difference in the hydrophobic ability of the tested hydrocarbons, n-hexadecane, xylene, and chloroform, ranging from 5.25% to 80.9%. All of the isolates have shown high sensitivity to most analyzed antibiotics, while&nbsp;<em>Lactobacillus&nbsp;</em>and&nbsp;<em>Leuconostoc</em>&nbsp;strains had no positive hemolysis.The zone of inhibition against all tested pathogens was demonstrated by 55.1% of strains. The most significant inhibition zones were exhibited against&nbsp;<em>Staphylococcus aureus</em>&nbsp;ATCC 25923 and&nbsp;<em>Bacillus cereus</em>&nbsp;ATCC 14579, while 31.03% of strains did not show a zone of inhibition towards&nbsp;<em>Listeria monocytogenes&nbsp;</em>ATCC 19115.</p>",
