The invention provides a method for quickly distinguishing lactic acid bacterium strains. The method includes the steps that firstly, a culture solution of lactic acid bacterium strains to be detected is centrifuged, and supernate is taken and diluted by 20-25 folds; secondly, the supernate, water, a glycylglycine buffer solution, NAD+ and D-GPT are mixed for 2-4 min before D or L-lactic dehydrogenase is added according to the table 1, a light-absorbing value A1 is read, then D-or L-LDA is added for reacting for 4-6 min, and a light-absorbing value A2 is read; thirdly, a light-absorbing value change value (A2-A1) of samples is subtracted by a contrasted light-absorbing value change value (A2-A1) to obtain deltaAD-lactic acid or deltaAL-lactic acid, the deltaAD-lactic acid or deltaAL-lactic acid is substituted into the following formula to calculate the concentration of D-lactic acid or L-lactic acid of the lactic acid bacterium strains to be detected, and please see the formula in the description. The lactic acid bacterium strains to be detected are distinguished according to the concentration ratio of D-lactic acid and L-lactic acid of the lactic acid bacterium strains to be detected.
