Abstract
Environmental sources and domestic pets’ oral microbiomes were sampled for the presence of gluten metabolizing bacteria. Isolated bacteria were grown on gluten agar and challenged with Over The Counter (OTC) oral hygiene products and bacterial antagonistic bacteriocins to discover strains of gluten metabolizing bacteria that could potentially be utilized as a probiotic. Sixteen strains were isolated that were gluten metabolizers but only one strain was significantly more resistant to OTC oral hygiene products and to antagonistic bacterial bacteriocins. This newly isolated commensal strain may prove to be a potent gluten metabolizing probiotic. The oral microbiomes of household pets were not a significant source of gluten metabolizers.
