Current Knowledge of the Mode of Action and Immunity Mechanisms of LAB-Bacteriocins
Microorganisms, 2021 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 agents to treat bacterial infections.

The weak shall inherit: bacteriocin-mediated interactions in bacterial populations. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Evolutionary arms race plays a major role in shaping biological diversity. In microbial systems, competition often involves chemical warfare and the production of bacteriocins, narrow-spectrum toxins aimed at killing closely related strains by forming ...
