Enterococcus lactis, known for its efficient adherence to intestinal epithelial cells and hepatoprotective properties, has mostly been isolated from fermented dairy products. The characteristics of human-sourced E. lactis strains remain largely unknown. In this study, we analyzed the probiotic characteristics and safety of E. lactis strains isolated from the faeces of a large cohort of healthy individuals at the genomic level.
