Bacteriocins are bacterially produced antimicrobial peptides with narrow or broad host
ranges. Many bacteriocins are produced by food-grade lactic acid bacteria, a phenomenon …

Bacteria from the Propionibacterium genus consists of two principal groups: cutaneous and
classical. Cutaneous Propionibacterium are considered primary pathogens to humans …

The last decade has seen numerous outbreaks of Clostridium difficile-associated disease
(CDAD), which presented significant challenges for healthcare facilities worldwide. We have …

The radical S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) superfamily currently comprises more than 2800
proteins with the amino acid sequence motif CxxxCxxC unaccompanied by a fourth …

In recent decades, bioactive peptides have attracted increasing interest as health promoting
functional foods. A variety of naturally formed bioactive peptides have been found in …

Gram-positive bacteria, and especially the lactic acid bacteria (LAB), are now increasingly
studied for their production of bacteriocin-like inhibitory activity. This has yielded detailed …

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

Bacteriocins in Gram-positive bacteria have attracted much attention because many have a
strong antimicrobial activity also against bacteria outside the genera of the producers …

We identified a genetic context encoding a transcriptional regulator of the Rgg family and a
small hydrophobic peptide (SHP) in nearly all streptococci and suggested that it may be …

Bacteriocins are natural peptides secreted by several bacteria that exert bactericidal activity
against other bacterial species. Research in this topic is promoted not only by the need to …
