In this study, we present a partial purification of bacteriocin HY07 from E. faecium HY07 isolated from Chinese sausage, which exhibited antimicrobial activity to Listeria, Salmonella, Shigella, Staphylococcus, Clostridium, and Bacillus. E. faecium HY07 was shown to lack haemolytic activity and found to be sensitive to tested antibiotics (rifampicin, vancomycin, teicoplanin, and penicillin G). Bacteriocin HY07 was sensitive to proteolytic enzymes, but stable between pH 2.0–10, and heat resistance (15 min at 121°C). In addition, production of ...
