Nizin is produced by Str. lactis, strain MSU. During biosynthesis it is excreted into the fermentation broth and gradually adsorbed on the organism cells. This was confirmed by experiments with an inactive variant of Str. lactis IIa. The cells of this culture adsorbed nizin from "active" fermentation broth. Adsorption of nizin depended on pH of the medium; at pH 2,3 the cells did not adsorbe the antibiotic and at pH 6.6 the amount of the antibiotic adsorbed by the cells was maximum.

In recent years, the use of natural preservatives in food products has gained significant attention due to their potential health benefits and effectiveness. A standardized microbiological analysis was conducted on Slovak farm-produced lump goat cheese samples to determine the antibacterial activity of dry herbs and essential oils added to vacuum-packed goat cheese. We employed five dried herbs and five essential oils derived from the same plants.

The present study describes a novel antimicrobial mechanism based on Sodium Orthovanadate (SOV), an alkaline phosphatase inhibitor. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were employed to examine the surface morphologies of the test organism, Escherichia coli (E. coli), during various antibacterial phases.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant public health threat, with the food production chain, and, specifically, fermented products, as a potential vehicle for dissemination. However, information about dairy products, especially raw ewe milk cheeses, is limited. The present study analysed, for the first time, the occurrence of AMRs related to lactic acid bacteria (LAB) along a raw ewe milk cheese production chain for the most common antimicrobial agents used on farms (dihydrostreptomycin, benzylpenicillin, amoxicillin and polymyxin B).

Enterococcus faecium SF68 (SF68) is a well-known probiotic with a long history of safe use. Recent changes in the taxonomy of enterococci have shown that a novel species, Enterococcus lactis, is closely related with E. faecium and occurs together with other enterococci in a phylogenetically well-defined E.

Lactococcus phages that belong to the genus Ceduovirus are among the three most frequently isolated phage groups infecting Lactococcus lactis starter strains in dairy plants. In this study, we characterized virulent Lactococcus phage BIM BV-114 isolated from industrial cheese brine in Belarus and identified as Ceduovirus. The bacteriophage demonstrated a relatively short lytic cycle (latent period of 23 ± 5 min, lysis time of 90 ± 5 min), high thermal stability (inactivation after 7 min at 95 °C in skimmed milk) and tolerance to UV radiation (inactivation time - 15 min), indicating adaptation for better persistence in dairy facilities.
