Bifidobacterium is anerobic bacterium which is popular in human and animal intestine. B. infantis was successfully isolated from a new-born child’s fecal sample previously. In this study, the probiotic characteristics of this strain such as: extracellular enzyme production ability; antibiotic activity against food-born pathogen like E. coli, S. aureus; organic acid production and bile-salt sufferance were evaluated. The results showed that the isolated can produce amylase and protease enzyme, do not produce cellulase enzyme; the organic acids also were produced during development of bacterium. The bacterium can against E. coli and S. aureus and can grow in the media containing up to 1% of bile salt. Results of this study are the basis for further studies to apply these bacteria as a source of probiotic beneficial to human health in Vietnam.
