The probiotic potential, antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of Enterococcus durans LAB18s, a strain
capable of selenium bioaccumulation, was investigated. E. durans LAB18s showed resistance to acid

also survived in the presence of simulated intestinal juice with or without bile salts, and did not show
hemolytic activity. T
