Bacteriocins produced by lactic acid bacteria (LAB-bacteriocins) may serve as alternatives
for aging antibiotics. LAB-bacteriocins can be used alone, or in some cases as potentiating …

Background Food preservation is important in increasing the shelf life of food and ensuring
food safety. Investigations on food preservation have focused on meeting consumer …

Aim The aim of this study was to identify a possible mechanism that would explain how E.
faecalis could survive and grow within dentinal tubules and reinfect an obturated root canal …

Enterococci are commensal organisms well suited to survival in intestinal and vaginal tracts
and the oral cavity. However, as for most bacteria described as causing human disease …

Enterococcus faecalis is a micro-organism that can survive extreme challenges. Its
pathogenicity ranges from life-threatening diseases in compromised individuals to less …

Most foodborne pathogens have biofilm‐forming capacity and prefer to grow in the form of
biofilms. Presence of biofilms on food contact surfaces can lead to persistence of pathogens …

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

Bacteria use various strategies to compete in an ecological niche, including the production
of bacteriocins. Bacteriocins are ribosomally synthesized antibacterial peptides, and it has …

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 …

Defensins comprise a structural class of small cationic peptides that exert broad-spectrum
antimicrobial activities through membrane permeabilization. Their predominantly β-sheet …
