Bovine enteric bacterial pathogens are a major cause of health decline in agricultural cattle populations. The identification of host-derived microbiota with probiotic characteristics is key for the development of treatments utilizing pathogen displacement and recolonization by commensal flora. In this study, intestinal microbiota in fecal samples from four Holstein dairy cows were analyzed using 16S ribosomal RNA gene next-generation sequencing, leading to the identification of three  Lactobacillus  isolates ( Lactobacillus gasseri, Lactobacillus reuteri , and  Lactobacillus salivarius ). By taking advantage of the preferential growth in acidified culture media, bacterial characteristics examination, and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of 16S rRNA genes, the three lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains were successfully isolated. The three LAB isolates possess the prerequisite growth tolerances for probiotic functionality, as well as exhibit effective antimicrobial potency against enteric bacterial pathogens of cattle, including  Escherichia coli  O157:H7,  Mycobacterium avium  subspecies  paratuberculosis , and  Salmonella  species ( Salmonella enteritidis, Salmonella typhimurium , and  Salmonella  Dublin). Moreover, the LAB isolates showed significant adhesion to cattle intestine, implying greater survivability potential due to their species specificity when administered in the same host species. The LAB isolates were sensitive to most antibiotics with notable resistances of  L. gasseri  to streptomycin and  L. salivarius  to kanamycin. Genes attributed to specific antibiotic resistances demonstrated a low risk of lateral transfer in a conjugation study. Our  in vitro  results demonstrate the promising probiotic characteristics of these newly identified  Lactobacillus  strains and their considerable potential to serve as probiotics feed supplements for cows.
