In recent years, because of increased resistance to conventional antimicrobials, many
researchers have started to study the synthesis of new antibiotics to control the disease …

Bacteriocins are an abundant and diverse group of ribosomally synthesized antimicrobial
peptides produced by bacteria and archaea. Traditionally, bacteriocin production has been …

Lantibiotics are gene-encoded peptides that contain intramolecular ring structures,
introduced through the thioether containing lanthionine and methyllanthionine residues. The …

The lantibiotics are a group of ribosomally synthesised, post-translationally modified
peptides containing unusual amino acids, such as dehydrated and lanthionine residues …

Lantibiotics are peptide-derived antimicrobial agents that are ribosomally synthesized and
posttranslationally modified to their biologically active forms. The name lantibiotics was …

The mechanisms by which intestinal bacteria achieve their associated health benefits can
be complex and multifaceted. In this respect, the diverse microbial composition of the human …

The purpose of this paper is to introduce and highlight a few classes of traditional
antimicrobial peptides with a focus on structure-activity relationship studies. After first …

Natural products remain a critical source of medicines and drug leads. One of the most
rapidly growing superclasses of natural products is RiPPs: ribosomally synthesized and …

The prevalence of dental caries continues to increase, and novel strategies to reverse this
trend appear necessary. The probiotic Streptococcus salivarius strain M18 offers the …

Most bacteriocins in gram-positive bacteria are small and heat stable (peptide bacteriocins),
and their antimicrobial activities are directed against a broader spectrum of bacteria than is …
