Enterococci are ubiquitous microorganisms that could be found everywhere; in water, plant,
soil, foods, and gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals. They were previously used as …

Bacteriocins are a huge family of ribosomally synthesized peptides known to exhibit a range
of bioactivities, most predominantly antibacterial activities. Bacteriocins from lactic acid …

Enterococci are lactic acid bacteria of importance in food, public health and medical
microbiology. Many strains produce bacteriocins, some of which have been well …

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 …

Bacteriocins are bactericidal peptides, ribosomally synthesized, with an inhibitory activity
against diverse groups of undesirable microorganisms. Bacteriocins are produced by both …

Production of bacteriocins is a potential probiotic feature of many lactic acid bacteria (LAB)
as it can help prevent the growth of pathogens in gut environments. However, knowledge on …

Bacteriocins are ribosomally synthesised antimicrobial peptides produced by bacteria,
including many Gram-positive species. The classification of bacteriocins from Gram-positive …

Enterococci, which belong to the group of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), have received
increased attention in recent years for various reasons (Fisher & Phillips, 2009; Franz, Huch …

Extrachromosomal elements are ubiquitous in the prokaryotic world and play important roles
in the adaptation and survival of cell populations, especially in changing environments …

Bacteriocins are ribosomally synthesized peptides made by bacteria that inhibit the growth
of similar or closely related bacterial strains. Class II bacteriocins are a class of bacteriocins …
