Alternatives to antibiotics: bacteriocins, antimicrobial peptides and bacteriophages.
Bacteriocins, antimicrobial peptides, and bacteriophage have attracted attention as potential substitutes for, or as additions to, currently used antimicrobial compounds. This publication will review research on the potential application of these alternative antimicrobial agents to poultry production and processing. Bacteriocins are proteinaceous compounds of bacterial origin that are lethal to...

Antibiotic have revolutionised the field of medicine and we are reliant on them to treat infectious diseases. Since the introduction of penicillin in 1943, there has been a misman...
متن کاملThe bacteriocins of ruminal bacteria and their potential as an alternative to antibiotics.
Beef cattle have been fed ionophores and other antibiotics for more than 20 years to decrease ruminal fermentation losses (e.g methane and ammonia) and increase feed efficiency, and these improvements have been explained by an inhibition of gram-positive ruminal bacteria. Ionophores are not used to treat human disease, but there has been an increased perception that antibiotics should not be us...
متن کاملScope of Bacteriocins as a Viable Alternative to the Traditional Antibiotics
Microorganisms produce a remarkable array of antimicrobial substances which help them to compete in their limited environment for nutritional resources. These antimicrobial substances include broad-spectrum antibiotics, metabolic products (organic acids), lytic agents (lysozymes), various exotoxins and bacteriocins. Bacteriocins are biologically active protein moieties with a bactericidal mode ...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Peptides - Promising Alternatives to Conventional Antibiotics
Antimicrobial peptides (APs) have been described as evolutionary ancient weapons. Produced by a wide variety of organisms as part of a non-specific immune response, these peptides are involved in the direct destruction of various microorganisms. Several APs have been shown to have broad activity spectra against microorganisms such as Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, enveloped viruses, ...
