“…According to Woraprayote et al [23], the most important compounds of this type include, besides organic acids, low-molecular peptides—bacteriocins. 185 different bacteriocins were discovered before 2015, of which 17 were found in Lb .…”

Oscypek and korycinski are traditional Polish cheeses, exclusively produced in Tatra and in Podlasie region, respectively, produced from raw, unpasteurized milk. The 29 Lactobacillus plantarum strains were isolated on MRS agar from 12 cheese samples and used as a material for study. The main purpose of the work was to assess the antimicrobial properties and recognition of selected strains for the unique antagonistic activity and preservation role in food. It has been found that the highest antimicrobial activity was observed in the case of L. monocytogenes strains; however, the level of that activity was different depending on the Lb. plantarum strain. Strains from oscypek produced broad spectrum, and a few strains isolated from korycinski cheese produced a narrow spectrum of antimicrobial compounds, other than organic acids and hydrogen peroxide. Moreover, the antagonistic activity shown by Lb. plantarum strains is connected with the source from which a given strain was isolated. Strains isolated from oscypek cheese represented stronger activity against L. monocytogenes, whereas strains isolated from korycinski cheese were more active against E. coli. Strains Lb. plantarum Os13 and Kor14 could be considered as good candidates for protective cultures to extend durability of food products.

“…Lactococcus lactis and E. faecium are the only species in which more types of bacteriocins were identified (22 in both cases). However, the majority of compounds discovered have not been classified so far, and their mechanisms of action are still investigated [23]. Plantaricins (bacteriocins identified for the first time in Lb.…”

“…In the last years, there has been an increasing awareness of bacteriocins as a new source of anti-infective agents (14)(15)(16), even transcending those infections from a bacterial origin (antifungal or antiviral), substantiated by their staggering structural diversity, feasibility of genetic engineering, safe use as food biopreservatives (17,18), and safe toxicity profile on higher eukaryotic cells (19). In this trend, the number of reports concerning bacteriocins as antiprotozoal agents (20)(21)(22)(23) is surprisingly lower than that of reports aiming at other eukaryotic targets such as fungi (24)(25)(26) or even tumoral cells (27)(28)(29).…”

We report the feasibility of enterocin AS-48, a circular cationic peptide produced by Enterococcus faecalis, as a new leishmanicidal agent. AS-48 is lethal to Leishmania promastigotes as well as to axenic and intracellular amastigotes at low micromolar concentrations, with scarce cytotoxicity to macrophages. AS-48 induced a fast bioenergetic collapse of L. donovani promastigotes but only a partial permeation of their plasma membrane with limited entrance of vital dyes, even at concentrations beyond its full lethality. Fluoresceinated AS-48 was visualized inside parasites by confocal microscopy and seen to cause mitochondrial depolarization and reactive oxygen species production. Altogether, AS-48 appeared to have a mixed leishmanicidal mechanism that includes both plasma membrane permeabilization and additional intracellular targets, with mitochondrial dysfunctionality being of special relevance. This complex leishmanicidal mechanism of AS-48 persisted even for the killing of intracellular amastigotes, as evidenced by transmission electron microscopy. We demonstrated the potentiality of AS-48 as a new and safe leishmanicidal agent, expanding the growing repertoire of eukaryotic targets for bacteriocins, and our results provide a proof of mechanism for the search of new leishmanicidal bacteriocins, whose diversity constitutes an almost endless source for new structures at moderate production cost and whose safe use on food preservation is well established.

“…Woraprayote et al (2016) Table 1. LAB bacteriocins of class I and II are by far the most studied because they are both the most abundant ones and the most prominent candidates for industrial application (Nes et al, 1996). When analyzing the range of antimicrobial action, bacteriocins are divided into three groups: 1) those with a narrow range of antagonist activity, acting against strains within the same species as the producer, or species of the same genus; 2) those with a moderate extent of growth inhibition, possessing activity against other bacterial species, including the pathogenic ones as L. monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium perfringens or Clostridium botulinum; 3) those exhibiting a broad spectrum of inhibiting activity, including Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and even fungi (propionicin PLG-1) (Gwiazdowska and Trojanowska, 2005).…”
