Symbiotic association between hoopoes and antibiotic- producing bacteria that live in their uropygial gland (2008, background): “Bacteria produce compounds that inhibit antagonisticcompeting micro-organisms (Riley & Wertz 2002) and, therefore, they may provide hosts with protection against pathogens and parasites due to bacterial interference (Ji, Beavis & Novick 1997).”
A Type VI Secretion System of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Targets a Toxin to Bacteria (2010, background): “Tse2 differs from other TI toxins in that it is exported through a large, specialized secretion apparatus, while many TI system toxins are either not actively secreted, or they utilize the sec pathway (Riley and Wertz, 2002).”
Bacteriocins : ecology and evolution (2007, background): “Although there has been considerable discussion about their role in nature, it seems that the overriding “raison d’être” for bacteriocins is to provide the producing organism with an ecological advantage over its most likely competitors (Riley and Wertz 2002).”
Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR): Their potential as antagonists and biocontrol agents (2012, background): “According to a review by Riley and Wertz (2002), bacteriocins differ from traditional antibiotics in one critical way: they commonly have a relatively narrow killing spectrum and are only toxic to bacteria closely related to the producing strain.”
Isolation and characterization of a bacteriocin produced by an isolated Bacillus subtilis LFB112 that exhibits antimicrobial activity against domestic animal pathogens (2009, result): “In contrast to the currently used broad-spectrum antibiotics which can kill both pathogen and commensal bacteria, some bacteriocins target specific bacterial pathogens, so they can be considered “designer drugs” (Riley and Wertz, 2002).”
Current Applications and Future Trends of Lactic Acid Bacteria and their Bacteriocins for the Biopreservation of Aquatic Food Products (2008, background): “, have increased the interest in these compounds (O’Keeffe and Hill 2000; Riley and Wertz 2002).”
BACTIBASE second release: a database and tool platform for bacteriocin characterization (2010, background): “Since then, bacteriocins have been found among most families of bacteria and many actinomycetes and described as universally produced, including by some members of the Archaea [3,4].”
Alternatives to antibiotics for maximizing growth performance and feed efficiency in poultry: a review (2017, background): “They are mainly cationic, hydrophobic, or amphiphilic like other AMPs (Riley and Wertz, 2002).”
