Abstract
Avicin A is a bacteriocin from the gram-positive bacterium Enterococcus avium. It exhibits a high microbicidal activity against bacteria of the genus Listeria, a causative agent of the severe human infection listeriosis. We developed a biotechnological method for obtaining avicin A and characterized its structure and biological activity. We also proposed a possible mechanism of the antimicrobial action of avicin A.
