Twelve probiotic Lactobacillus strains which were previously identified with classical biochemical tests were re-identified using molecular methods. Comparative sequence analyses of the 16S rRNA gene and 16S–23S rRNA gene intergenic spacer region (ISR) were applied. Results of the study showed that...
