“…However, one out of five Listeria spp. strains ( L. monocytogenes LM82) was not sensitive to the BLIS, and was previously reported as resistant to streptomycin (Marin‐Iniesta F, personal communication 2002) 45. This two resistance behaviors could be related, as antibiotics also target the cell membrane, while the majority of class II bacteriocins induce membrane permeabilization and the subsequent leakage of molecules from the target bacteria.…”
Biochemical characteristics of BLIS produced by E. faecium MXVK29 suggested that it belongs to Class IIa of the Klaenhammer classification and could be considered as a natural food preservative, although further studies need to be performed.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
