Presented here are recent findings on bacteriocins: plasmid-encoded
toxins produced by bacteria, which differ from traditional
antibiotics in killing only bacteria that are closely related to
the producing strain. Included are introductory chapters on
bacteriocins, microcins (low molecular weight bacteriocins), and
lantibiotics (peptide antibiotics containing lanthionine), further,
contributions on pore forming bacteriocins, the mechanisms of
immunity to bacteriocins, uptake and secretion, as well as
evolution of bacteriocins. It is of particular interest that the
lantibiotic nisin is approved for use as food preservative and
another lantibiotic, epidermin, has potential as a therapeutic drug
against acne.
