Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Class IIa bacteriocins are small antimicrobial peptides synthesized by lactic acid bacteria. The proposed mechanisms of action for class IIa bacteriocins suggest that the physicochemical properties of the target bacterial surface govern the bacteriocin antimicrobial activity. The aim of this study is to decipher the relationship between both sensitivity and resistance to a class IIa bacteriocin,...
