Methods for eradication of the biofilms formed by opportunistic pathogens using novel techniques – A review [PDF]
, 2016 The inconvenient environmental conditions force microorganisms to colonize either abiotic surfaces or animal and plant tissues and, therefore, form more resistant structures – biofilms.

Bacteriocins, spite and virulence [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2004 There has been much interest in using social evolution theory to predict the damage to a host from parasite infection, termed parasite virulence. Most of this work has focused on how high kinship between the parasites infecting a host can select for more prudent exploitation of the host, leading to a negative relationship between virulence and parasite

Revisiting the application, current trends, and prospect of bacteriocins in food preservation
Discover FoodBacteriocins, naturally produced antimicrobial peptides from bacteria, are emerging as crucial tools in modern food preservation. They effectively inhibit spoilage and pathogenic bacteria, offering a natural alternative to traditional preservatives.

Current Applications of Bacteriocin
International Journal of Microbiology, 2020 Bacteriocins are multifunctional, ribosomally produced, proteinaceous substances with pronounced antimicrobial activity at certain concentrations. They are produced by bacteria and certain members of archaea to inhibit the growth of similar or closely related bacterial strains.
