Bactofencin A, a New Type of Cationic Bacteriocin with Unusual Immunity
ABSTRACT Bacteriocin production is an important probiotic trait of intestinal bacteria. In this study, we identify a new type of bacteriocin, bactofencin A, produced by a porcine intestinal isolate Lactobacillus salivarius DPC6502, and assess its potency against pathogenic species including Staphylo...
