Abstract excerpt
This study investigates the functional and structural impact of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the enterocin and associated immunity genes of Enterococcus faecium GHB21, a strain known for producing potent antimicrobial peptides. Enterocins, most of them classified as class IIa bacteriocins, exhibit strong activity against pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes, making them promising candidates for...
