Solutions are urgently required for the growing number of infections caused by antibiotic-
resistant bacteria. Bacteriocins, which are antimicrobial peptides produced by certain …

Covering 1982 to 2006 Microcins are gene-encoded antibacterial peptides, with molecular
masses below 10 kDa, produced by enterobacteria. They are secreted under conditions of …

Antimicrobial resistance is a major concern. Epidemiological studies have demonstrated
direct relationships between antibiotic consumption and emergence/dissemination of …

Studies of bacterial and eukaryotic systems have identified two-gene operons in which the
translation product of the upstream gene influences translation of the downstream gene. The …

Microcin B17 (MccB17) is a peptide antibiotic which inhibits DNA replication in
Enterobacteriaceae. Microcin‐producing strains are immune to the action of the microcin …

Apidaecins, short proline-arginine-rich peptides from insects, are highly bactericidal through
a mechanism that includes stereoselective elements but is completely devoid of any pore …

Microcin J25 (MccJ25) is the single representative of the immunity group J of the microcin
group of peptide antibiotics produced by Enterobacteriaceae. It induces bacterial …

Increasing resistance to antibiotics is a major problem worldwide and provides the stimulus
for development of new bacterial inhibitors with preferably different modes of action. In …

A novel broad-spectrum antimicrobial peptide produced by vegetable-associated
Enterococcus mundtii was purified and characterized, and designated mundticin. To our …
