The lactic acid bacteria have a long history of “safe” use in food technologies, even if there are some studies about probable negative activities of this microorganisms in foods. The aim of this work was to research the spread, among lactic acid bacteria isolated from different food matrices, of characteristics potentially related with health and security, such as the antibiotic resistance. In this survey a high occurrence of antibiotic multiresistance has been evidenced, mainly for strains isolated from specific niches. This aspect has to be deeply surveyed because the absence of this characteristic is an important selection standard for cultures used as starters or probiotics.
