Novel food grade lantibiotic from streptococcus macedonicus and uses thereof

InactiveUS20050106662A1Broad inhibitory activity profileEfficient productionBiocideBacteriaBiotechnologyReady to eat
The invention relates to the field of bacteriocin producing microorganisms. The invention more specifically relates to the characterization of a novel food grade bacteriocin, namely a lantibiotic, named macedocin and produced by Streptococcus macedonicus ACA-DC 198. Macedocin inhibit a broad spectrum of lactic acid bacteria as well as several food spoilage and pathogenic bacteria, among others Clostridium tyrobutyricum, and is heat stable and active in a broad pH range. The invention further relates to the use of non-pathogenic microorganisms for producing macedocin in food fermentation processes, such as for preparing milk products, butter, cheese and fermented meat and vegetables, as well as in non-fermented food products such as raw meat, modified atmosphere-packed meat products, ready-to-eat meals, and canned food products, and its use for the preparation of functional starter cultures and cocultures.

Antimicrobial composition and method for use

An antimicrobial composition and a method for administering the antimicrobial composition through the water or feed of livestock, wherein the antimicrobial composition is made up of lysozyme and various other agents that act synergistically with lysozyme, such as, dried egg powder, albumen, a sequestering agent and / or a lantibiotic. The composition is used to inhibit the growth of, and diseases and epidemiological significant effects caused by, Clostridium perfinigens, E, coli and Salmonella, in the gut of livestock. More particularly, the antimicrobial composition and method relate to a feed additive that can be administered to poultry and / or swine through their feed. The use of such a feed additive may also inhibit other enteric pathogens that may be present in the gut of livestock.

Antimicrobial constructs

The invention is based on the recognition that known antimicrobial compounds, such as nisin or other lantibiotics, can be made to form a long lasting antimicrobial surface coating by linking the peptide with a block polymer, such as PLURONIC® F108 or an end group activated polymer (EGAP) in a manner to form a flexible tether and / or entrap the peptide. The entrapped peptide provides antimicrobial action by early release from entrapment while the tethered peptide provides longer lasting antimicrobial protection. Antimicrobial gels and foams may be prepared using the antimicrobial peptide containing block copolymers.
