Production of bacteriocin-like substances by group D streptococci of human origin. 1985

A Galvez, and E Valdivia, and M Maqueda, and E Montoya

From ninety enterococci of human origin thirty six strains were selected which produced bacteriocin-like substances. The antagonism between them and the resistance to chloroform, heat and pronase were studied. Four types based on such characteristics were established. These groups were different from those described elsewhere in the literature.
