Bacteriocin from honeybee beebread Enterococcus avium, active against Listeria monocytogenes.

Enterococcus avium isolated from Apis mellifera beebread produces a thermoresistant bacteriocin with a strain-dependent inhibitory effect on Listeria and without effect on gram-negative bacteria. The bacteriocin appeared to be a polypeptide of about 6 kDa. Genetic analyses revealed no extrachromosomal material in E. avium.

Linezolid treatment for osteomyelitis due to vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium.
