Abstract:
Antimicrobial peptides are host defense peptides composed of long chain of amino acids with a lot many properties. The antimicrobial peptides produced by bacteria are collectively called as bacteriocins. Bacteriocins are produced by both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria and are positively charged or amphiphilic molecules. Even though both Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria produce bacteriocins, those produced by Gram positive Lactic Acid Bacteria are most studied and diverse in nature. They are classified into lantibiotics and Cl;ass II peptides. These peptides are having antibacterial, immunomodulatory activities and even antibacterial resistance. They act by forming pores in the cell membrane and thus causing the cell death. Bacteria secrete these peptides as a defense strategy to defend their environment and also able to kill other bacteria. Even though having many beneficial properties and uses, there many challenges in clinical use of these peptides.
