With the alarming increase of infections caused by pathogenic multidrug-resistant bacteria
over the last decades, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been investigated as a potential …

Due to their very potent antimicrobial activity against diverse food-spoiling bacteria and
pathogens and their favourable biochemical properties, peptide bacteriocins from Gram …

The mechanisms of target cell recognition and producer cell self-protection (immunity) are
both important yet poorly understood issues in the biology of peptide bacteriocins. In this …

We first reported a phenomenon of cross-resistance to vancomycin (VCM) and daptomycin
(DAP) in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in 2006, but mechanisms …

Three surfactin-producing Bacillus subtilis strains, C4, M1 and G2III, previously isolated from
honey and intestines from the Apis mellifera L. bee, were phylogenetically characterized at …

Development of daptomycin (DAP) resistance in Enterococcus faecalis has recently been
associated with mutations in genes encoding proteins with two main functions:(i) control of …

Strains of the food-borne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes, showing either intermediate or
high-level resistance to class IIa bacteriocins, were investigated to determine characteristics …

Les bactéries lactiques sont un groupe hétérogène de microorganismes produisant de
l'acide lactique comme produit principal du métabolisme. Elles colonisent de nombreux …

Variants resistant to nisin A (vA), nisin Z (vZ), pediocin PA-1 (vP), divergicin M35 (vD) and to
bacteriocin-like compounds produced by Bifidobacterium thermophilum subsp. infantis …

Listeria monocytogenes is a relevant foodborne pathogen causing invasive listeriosis in
