Lactobacillus is a subject of debate, although it is evident that this genus has been implicated in various types of infections, especially in immunocompromised patients [
1,
2]. Few published studies have included a sufficient number of human clinical isolates of individual
Lactobacillus species in order to facilitate comparisons of antimicrobial sensitivities [
2,
3]. The study presented here aimed at characterizing several
Lactobacillus isolates using 16S rRNA gene sequencing for species identification, PFGE for strain identification, and susceptibility testing of 20 antimicrobial agents, including several newer antimicrobial agents. …
