Probiotics are live microbial feed supplement that beneficially gets the host by provoking the immune response .The potential role of probiotics is accounted for its colonization, immune stimulation& antimicrobial activity. Probiotic organisms were isolated from curd & cow dung using selective medium [MRSA – De Man, Rogosa and Sharpe Agar]. Biochemical & molecular characterization were done to confirm the probiotic isolates. Based on the result, it was confirmed to be Bacillus cereus & Bacillus sp. The isolates were evaluated for its temperature range that supports the optimal growth. It was found that the isolates were able survive within the range of normal body temperature and evaluated for lactose utilization based on the color change. Both the isolates documented the production of lactic acid evidenced by the color change that confers for lactose intolerance. Then the isolates were screened for NaCl tolerance and found to exhibit tolerance upto 6% NaCl which is one of the major inhibitory and innate defense strategies against microbial growth. When the isolate was grown on Modified Barber’s Medium, it was found to be capable of degrading/metabolizing oxalate. Further research on probiotic needs to be carried out to emerge it as an effective therapeutic tool against kidney stone disease.

Keywords : Probiotics, Modified Barber’s Medium, MRSA.
