  • Patent number: 11648289
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of killing, damaging or preventing the replication of bacteria comprising administering or applying a bacteriocin to said bacteria, wherein said bacteriocin is a peptide comprising the amino acid sequence MKFKFNPTGTIVKKLTQYEIAWFKNKHGYYPWEIPRC and related sequences, wherein the bacteria is selected from E. faecium, E. faecalis, E. hirae, S. pseudointermedius and/or S. hemolyticus; and/or in said method said bacteria are subjected to a stress condition. Also provided are related methods and uses such as methods of treatment. Also provided are novel truncation and fusion proteins variants such as MIKKFPNPYTLAAKLTTYEINWYKQQYGRYPWERPVA and MKFKFNPTGTIVKKLTQYEINWYKQQYGRYPWERPVA and their use as bacteriocins in various methods and uses.
