Biomedical applications of nisin [PDF]
Journal of Applied Microbiology, 2016 Nisin is a bacteriocin produced by a group of Gram-positive bacteria that belongs to Lactococcus and Streptococcus species. Nisin is classified as a Type A (I) lantibiotic that is synthesized from mRNA and the translated peptide contains several unusual amino acids due to post-translational modifications.

Nisin and nisin-loaded nanoparticles: a cytotoxicity investigation
Drug Development and Industrial Pharmacy, 2022 Nisin is an antibacterial peptide with anticancer properties, but the main drawback is its rapid enzymatic degradation and limited permeation across the cell membrane. This research aims to overcome these drawbacks by developing nisin-loaded nanoparticles (NPN) with improved cytotoxic effects.
