The abuse of traditional antibiotics has led to an increase in the resistance of bacteria and viruses. Similar to the function of antibacterial peptides, bacteriocins are more common as a kind of peptides produced by bacteria that have bactericidal o...
Antimicrobial compounds first arose in prokaryotes by necessity for competitive self-defense. In this light, prokaryotes invented the first host defense peptides. Among the most well-characterized of these peptides are class II bacteriocins, ribosoma...
Lantibiotics, an important group of ribosomally synthesized peptides, represent an important arsenal of novel promising antimicrobials showing high potency in fighting against the prevalence of antibiotic resistance among microbial pathogens. However...
