Little is known about the migration of bacteriocins across human cells. In this study, we
report on migration of three bacteriocins nisin, plantaricin 423 and bacST4SA across colonic …

Some strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) produce riboflavin, a water-soluble vitamin of the B
complex, essential for human beings. Here, we have evaluated riboflavin (B2 vitamin) …

Treating bone infections with common antibiotics is challenging, since pathogens like
Staphylococcus aureus can reside inside macrophages. To target these intracellular …

Abstract Background 5‐Hydroxytryptamine (5‐HT) could play a role in alleviating symptoms
