Enterococcus spp. as a Producer and Target of Bacteriocins: A Double-Edged Sword in the Antimicrobial Resistance Crisis Context

Antibiotics, 2021
Enterococcus spp. are one of the most frequent producers of bacteriocins (enterocins), which provides them with an advantage to compete in their natural environment, which is the gut of humans and many animals.

Heterologous expression and antimicrobial potential of class II bacteriocins

Gut Microbes
Gut bacteria are known to produce bacteriocins to inhibit the growth of other bacteria. Consequently, bacteriocins have attracted increased attention as potential microbiome-editing tools.

Common occurrence of antibacterial agents in human intestinal microbiota

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Laboratory experiments have revealed many active mechanisms by which bacteria can inhibit the growth of other organisms. Bacteriocins are a diverse group of natural ribosomally-synthesized antimicrobial peptides produced by a wide range of bacteria and ...

Cell entry mechanism of enzymatic bacterial colicins: Porin recruitment and the thermodynamics of receptor binding [PDF]

, 2005
Binding of enzymatic E colicins to the vitamin B-12 receptor, BtuB, is the first stage in a cascade of events that culminate in the translocation of the cytotoxic nuclease into the Escherichia coli cytoplasm and release of its tightly bound immunity ...

Genome sequences of five Lactobacillus sp. isolates from traditional Turkish sourdough [PDF]

, 2018
A high level of variation in microflora can be observed in profiles of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from sourdoughs. Here, we present draft genome sequences of Lactobacillus reuteri E81, L. reuteri LR5A, L. rhamnosus LR2, L.

Redefining Therapies for Drug‐Resistant Tuberculosis: Synergistic Effects of Antimicrobial Peptides, Nanotechnology, and Computational Design

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial peptide (AMP)‐loaded nanocarriers provide a multifunctional strategy to combat drug‐resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. By enhancing intracellular delivery, bypassing efflux pumps, and disrupting bacterial membranes, this platform restores phagolysosome fusion and macrophage function.

Inhibition of Fungi and Gram-Negative Bacteria by Bacteriocin BacTN635 Produced by Lactobacillus plantarum sp. TN635 [PDF]

, 2010
The aim of this study was to evaluate 54 lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains isolated from meat, fermented vegetables and dairy products for their capacity to produce antimicrobial activities against several bacteria and fungi.

Principles for Rigorous Design and Application of Synthetic Microbial Communities

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
SynComs are artificially designed to enable inter‐species metabolic interactions, metabolic division of labor, and ecological interactions that can elicit phenotypes like colonization stability and environmental adaptation. This systematic review explores the processes used to construct SynComs, the assessment of the mechanisms of metabolic interaction

Use of Carnobacterium piscicola to limit the growth of Listeria monocytogenes in mussel products : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Microbiology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2006
Bacteria were screened in order to find an organism antagonistic to Listeria monocytogenes which could be applied to mussel products and enhance their safety, especially when temperature-abused.
