Probiotic Bacteriocins as Novel Antimicrobial Agents: Assessment against Multidrug-Resistant Pathogens
Main Article Content
Keywords
Bacteriocin, Probiotic bacteria, Multidrug-resistant pathogens, Antimicrobial efficacy, Alternative antimicrobial agents
Abstract
Background: The increasing prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens poses a significant threat to global public health, necessitating the exploration of alternative antimicrobial agents. Bacteriocins, antimicrobial peptides produced by probiotic bacteria, have emerged as potential candidates due to their efficacy and specificity.
