The antimicrobial and antifungal effects of this product has not already been investigated. In general, keffir contains the following microorganisms: Lactic acid streptococci, lactobacilli, mesophilic lactic acid, lactose fermenting and non-fermenting yeasts and lactic acid bacteria. The objective of this study was to determine therapeutic effects of keffir. Methods: This study was performed on bacteria such as staphylococcus aureus, E.coli, pseudomonas aeruginosa, salmonella typhi, and three species of fungi: Candida albicans, trichophyton mentagrophytes and microsporum canis. The antimicrobial effects of eight extracts of common yogurt and extract of keffir at 20°C and 37°C at two times of 24 and 48 hour fermentation in vitro on four species of bacteria and three species of fungi were studied by cup plate and serial dilution methods. Findings: From extract of common and keffir yogurt at 20°C and 37°C at two times of 24 and 48 hour fermentation, keffir with 75 mg/ml concentration showed the strongest effect on P.aeruginosa at 37°C with 48 hour fermentation time.
