I just found another article on kefir and probiotics. confex2.com In layman's terms what this article says is that they fermented some kefir and then isolated the bacteriocin that was produced from the probiotic L. plantarum found in the kefir. They named the bacteriocin, plantaricin BAL-1. A 'bacteriocin' is a substance that has antibiotic properties. They tested it against several pathogenic bacteria and the results show that it has a good spectrum against foodborne pathogenic bacteria. In other words it kills some pathogenic bacteria. This bacteriocin will be in the kefir as we drink it because it is secreted by L. plantarum while it is fermenting the milk in the process of making kefir. This organism is just 1 of 30 found in kefir. Drink up !! Mark
