Uncovering the arsenal of class II bacteriocins in salivarius streptococci
Abstract Facing the antibiotic resistance crisis, bacteriocins are considered as a promising alternative to treat bacterial infections.In the human commensal Streptococcus salivarius, the production of unmodified bacteriocins (or salivaricins) is directly controlled at the transcriptional level by quorum-sensing.To discover hidden bacteriocins, we
