| They produce antibiotics known as bacteriocins that are poisonous to their own species. |
|
| Preliminary data indicate bacteriocins may be effective in reducing other foodborne bacteria such as Salmonella and Escherichia coli. |
|
| It is becoming evident however that some strains that appear to have similar spectra of inhibitory activity produce quite different bacteriocins. |
|
| Partly it may be due to its production of the so-called enterocins, a family of bacteriocins, which are antimicrobial peptides produced by some bacterial strains. |
|
| As a class of compounds, they are commonly referred to as bacteriocins. |
|
| Their effort includes the analysis and exploitation of natural antimicrobial phenomena such as lantibiotics, bacteriocins and bacteriophage lysins. |
