Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) from prokaryotic source also known as bacteriocins are
ribosomally synthesized by bacteria belonging to different eubacterial taxonomic branches …

Pore-forming toxins (PFTs) are widely distributed in both Gram-negative and Gram-positive
bacteria. PFTs can act as virulence factors that bacteria utilise in dissemination and host …

Covering: up to 2017 The overwhelming majority of antibiotics in clinical use originate from
Gram-positive Actinobacteria. In recent years, however, Gram-negative bacteria have …

Colicins are folded protein toxins that face the formidable task of translocating across one or
both of the Escherichia coli cell membranes in order to induce cell death. This translocation …

In the postantibiotic era, the pathogenicity and resistance of pathogens have increased,
leading to an increase in intestinal inflammatory disease. Bacterial infections remain the …

Colicin production in Escherichia coli (E. coli) strains represents an important trait with
regard to microbial survival and competition in the complex intestinal environment. A novel …

It is more than 80 years since Gratia first described 'a remarkable antagonism between two
strains of Escherichia coli'. Shown subsequently to be due to the action of proteins (or …

The Bam complex is a highly conserved multiprotein machine essential for the assembly of β‐
barrel outer membrane proteins. It is composed of the essential outer membrane protein …

Bacteriocins of Gram-negative bacteria are typically multi-domain proteins that target and kill
bacteria of the same or closely related species. There is increasing interest in protein …

Bacteria produce an arsenal of toxic peptides and proteins, which are termed bacteriocins
and play a role in mediating the dynamics of microbial populations and communities …
