A study was performed to isolate and evaluate potential indigenous probiotic strains in Ghana. A total of 99 strains were isolated from human breast milk (n = 29) and fecal samples (n = 70), which were identified and characterized using methods ranging from plating growth tests and presumptive analysis at species level using MALDI-TOF MS, prior to validation through 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis.
