The constant increase of multi-drug resistant pathogens stimulates research, more than
ever, to identify and develop new antibacterial compounds. The recent advances in genome …

Antibiotics are low molecular-weight molecules produced as secondary metabolites, mainly
by microorganisms that live in the soil. Microbial secondary metabolites have been a major …

Background: Currently antibiotic resistant pathogenic bacteria are emerging as an important
health problem worldwide. The search for new compounds with antibiotic characteristics is …

Antibiotics are majorly important molecules for human health. Following the golden age of
antibiotic discovery, a period of decline ensued, characterised by the rediscovery of the …

Since the discovery of penicillin, bacteria are known to be major sources of secondary
metabolites that can function as drugs or pesticides. Scientists worldwide attempted to …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are inherently occurring proteins that are produced by
microorganisms as secondary metabolites. Members of genus Bacillus produce many types …

After years of inadequate use and the emergence of multidrug resistant (MDR) strains, the
efficiency of “classical” antibiotics has decreased significantly. New drugs to fight MDR …

Members of the genus Bacillus are known to produce a wide arsenal of antimicrobial
substances, including peptide and lipopeptide antibiotics, and bacteriocins. Many of the …

Previously other groups had reported that Paenibacillus polymyxa NRRL B-30507 produces
SRCAM 37, a type IIA bacteriocin with antimicrobial activity against Campylobacter jejuni …

Antibiotic resistance is a problem that has been increasing lately; therefore, it is important to
find new alternatives to treat infections induced by pathogens that cannot be eliminated with …
