The lactic acid bacteria isolated from different ecological niches are established to be able to adhere in vitro to the intestine epithelium of pigs and cattle. The studied strains of enterococci have a higher index of adhesiveness (5.7-2.24) as compared to lactic acid bacilli (3.34-1.08). Detection of the lactic acid bacteria ability to adhere to intestine enterocytes of agricultural animals served as a premise to use those bacteria when constructing preparations of the directed action on the basis of living cultures.
