The present invention relates to a novel approach to prevent or treat mastitis both in humans and animals through the use of mammal milk-derived microorganisms obtained from healthy hosts of the homologous species; to those new probiotic microorganisms obtained from milk able to reduce infectious mastitis and the method of screening used for their obtaining; to the use of these probiotic bacteria for the prophylaxis or treatment against mastitis and other diseases; and finally, to compositions comprising these compounds.
