The macrocyclic peptide antibiotic micrococcin P(1) is secreted by the food-borne bacterium Staphylococcus equorum WS 2733 and inhibits Listeria monocytogenes on soft cheese.
Staphylococcus equorum WS 2733 was found to produce a substance exhibiting a bacteriostatic effect on a variety of gram-positive bacteria. The metabolite was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate precipitation and semipreparative reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Electrospray mass spectrometry confirmed the high purity of the compound and revealed a molecular mass of ...

متن کاملInhibition of Listeria monocytogenes by food-borne yeasts.
Many bacteria are known to inhibit food pathogens, such as Listeria monocytogenes, by secreting a variety of bactericidal and bacteriostatic substances. In sharp contrast, it is unknown whether yeast has an inhibitory potential for the growth of pathogenic bacteria in food. A total of 404 yeasts were screened for inhibitory activity against five Listeria monocytogenes strains. Three hundred and...
متن کاملListeria monocytogenes: food-borne pathogen and hygiene indicator.
In the past 25 years, Listeria monocytogenes has become increasingly important as a food-associated pathogen. Most European Union countries have an annual incidence of human listeriosis of between two and ten reported cases per million. Because of its high case fatality rate, listeriosis ranks among the most frequent causes of death due to food-borne illness. Listeria monocytogenes infections a...
متن کاملThe Effect of Pediococcus pentosaceus Bacteriocin on Listeria monocytogenes in Soft Cheese
─Among antimicrobial materials produced by Pediococcus pentosaceus, bacteriocin have gained the greatest interest in food preservation as a natural substance. A bacteriocin producing P. pentosaceus was isolated from vegetables and human stool in a previous study. Purification, activity measurement, and characteristics of the bacteriocin was also determined. The yield of the bacteriocin was 9.08...
