  Probiotics as a replacement for growth promoter antibiotics and foodborne pathogens bio-control strategy are attractive in the broiler chicken industry and improve consumer food safety. This research was designed to investigate the probiotic properties of lactic acid bacteria isolated from the digestive tract of local domestic chickens in Iran. In this study, the persistence of 216 lactic acid bacteria isolates was investigated to acid and bile and 13 superior isolates were selected to be identified using the 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Afterward, the ability of 13 selected lactobacilli isolates to control foodborne pathogens was studied. The results of the 16S rRNA gene sequencing showed that all isolates belonged to the Lactobacillus species. Of the 13 isolates, 7, 3 and 3 isolates belonged to Lactobacillus reuteri, Lactobacillus crispatus and Lactobacillus salivarius,respectively. All of these isolates were able to tolerate pH= 3 for 3 hours and 0.3% bile salts. Three isolates belonging to L. salivarius were more effective to inhibit common Zoonotic bacteria. This study revealed that the in vitro favorable probiotic potential in some isolated lactobacilli from the native chicken digestive tract from Iran, introduce them as good candidates in probiotic supplements to improve food safety of consumer after conducting in vivo tests.
