Preliminary data indicate bacteriocins may be effective in reducing other foodborne bacteria such as Salmonella and Escherichia coli. |
As a class of compounds, they are commonly referred to as bacteriocins. |
It is becoming evident however that some strains that appear to have similar spectra of inhibitory activity produce quite different bacteriocins. |
They produce antibiotics known as bacteriocins that are poisonous to their own species. |
The bacteriocins reduced the numbers of Campylobacter by a millionfold when fed to chickens. |
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. |
