Bacteriocin-Related Siblicide in Clinical Isolates of Enterococci.

Yun-Chan Hwang1,2, Susan E Flannagan1, Don B Clewell3, Christine M Sedgley4,5.   

Abstract

Siblicide is a phenomenon defined in the present context as an Enterococcus strain that, while growing as a colony on solid media, exhibits an inhibitory effect on a lawn composed of the identical strain. It was shown to occur in seven clinical isolates of enterococci (one E. faecalis and six E. faecium). Four involve inhibitory anti-listerial activities consistent with class II bacteriocins, two of which appear to be up-regulated by extracellular autoinducers.
