In this essay work, the ability of probiotic biofi lm formation on carrier surface was demonstrated. Probiotic biofi lms exhibit the same properties as pathogen microbial biofi lms but with higher resistance to low pH values and bile salts. The ability of different probiotic strains (Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifi dobacterium breve, Bifi dobacterium longum) to interact with pre-selected carriers divided into 3 categories (polymers, complex food matrices, and inorganic compounds) was tested. Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifi dobacterium longum combined with inorganic silica carrier exhibited the interaction leading to biofi lm formation only. Prepared biofi lm (Lactobacillus acidophilus) was then subjected to comparative study with planktonic bacterial culture. The ability to survive in the presence of low pH value (pH 1-3) and bile salts (0.3% solution) was evaluated. Low pH value (pH 1) had a harsh effect on free cell culture causing decreased cell viability (71.9±3.2% of viable cells). Biofi lm culture exhibited higher resistance to low pH value, the viability exceeded 90%. The exposure of free cell probiotic culture to porcine bile resulted in an almost constant decrease in viability during the study period (68.2±1.1% of viable cells, after 240 min incubation). Viability of biofi lm after the exposition to bile was almost constant with a slight decrease of no more than 5% during the study.Keywords: probiotics, biofi lm, carrier, acid tolerance, bile toleranceThe fi rst mention of probiotics appeared at the beginning of the 20 th century in the writings of Elie Metchnikoff. He suggested that the longevity and healthy life of Bulgarian people is hidden in their consumption of fermented milk products (TRIPATHI & GIRI, 2014). In 2001, probiotics as "live microorganisms, which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefi t on the host" (FAO/WHO, 2001) was defi ned.During the last 15-20 years, it was recognized that the developmental process of biofi lm formation is the natural way of life for microorganisms, without differences between harmful and commensal microorganisms. Therefore, on one hand, biofi lm formation is an important clinical pathogenic mechanism, a menace to the aging population, immunocompromised and poly-traumatic patients, on the other hand, a modern medical instrumental intervention (RÖMLING et al., 2014). In the common line, biofi lm cells have a higher resistance to antimicrobial agents and agents harmful to microbes in biofi lm than planktonic bacteria. The formation of a barrier or biofi lm prohibits the direct contact with harmful agents (SREY et al., 2013). * To whom correspondence should be addressed.
