Bactofencin A acetate
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Bactofencin A acetate is a class IId bacteriocin and Antibacterial agent. Bactofencin A acetate is produced by Lactobacillus salivarius DPC6502, an isolate derived from the intestine. Bactofencin A acetate exhibits activity against Staphylococcus and Listeria species. Bactofencin A acetate slightly modulates the intestinal flora. Bactofencin A acetate can be used in research related to staphylococcal infections, listerial infections, and mastitis.

In Vitro
Bactofencin A (0.25-1000 µM; assay duration at 37 °C) acetate exhibit potent anti-Staphylococcus aureus DPC5246 activity[1].
Bactofencin A (0.25-1000 µM; assay duration at 37 °C) acetate with substitution of Cys7 or Cys22 with serine or alanine significantly reduces anti-Staphylococcus aureus DPC5246 activity, with C22 substitutions causing greater activity loss than C7 substitutions[1].

Research Protocol for Infectious Diseases
Infectious-disease experiments test how pathogens interact with host barriers, innate immune receptors, inflammatory signaling, pathogen replication, and tissue injury; pattern-recognition receptors such as TLRs, RIG-I-like receptors, NOD-like receptors, and inflammasomes detect microbial molecules and activate NF-κB, interferon, and cytokine responses. The central hypothesis is that infection severity reflects the balance between pathogen burden and host response: protective inflammation restricts pathogen growth, whereas excessive or mislocalized inflammation contributes to tissue damage and disease phenotype. Unresolved questions include which host pathways are protective versus pathogenic, why some infection models fail to translate to human disease, and which combined readouts best predict clinically relevant infection outcomes.
