Abstract

The increasing incidence of multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains and the very few drugs available for treatment are promoting the discovery and development of new molecules that could help in the control of this disease. Bacteriocin AS-48 is an antibacterial peptide produced by Enterococcus faecalis and is active against several Gram-positive bacteria.
