Table 2.
Strains of Staphylococcus found to harbour bacteriocin gene-clusters from 441 non-aureus Staphylococcus isolates analysed, the number of isolates possessing bacteriocin production genes that displayed inhibitory activity, and the number of isolates displaying in vitro inhibitory activity against S. aureus strains isolated from bovine mastitis cases. Each cluster encodes one bacteriocin [140].
