Pediocin PA 1 

Pediocin PA 1 is a class IIa bacteriocin that specifically binds to membrane proteins of susceptible Gram-positive bacteria (such as Listeria monocytogenes) to form voltage-independent hydrophilic pores, leading to dissipation of proton motive force, ATP depletion and cell death. Pediocin PA 1 shows no significant activity against intact Gram-negative bacteria, strains carrying immunity genes and obligate anaerobic commensal gut microbiota, and its bactericidal function depends on the integrity of disulfide bonds, with activity lost upon reduction. Pediocin PA 1 can be used not only as a food biopreservative but also for research on listeriosis^[1][2][3].

Pediocin PA 1 (11.25-2900 nM; 24 h) inhibits the growth of Listeria monocytogenes 10403S in 0.8% BHI soft agar with an MIC of 45 nM after 24 h incubation at 37 °C^[1].
Pediocin PA 1 (45-90.5 nM; up to 24 h) exerts a bacteriostatic effect on Listeria monocytogenes 10403S in BHI broth at 37 °C, with 45-90.5 nM concentrations delaying exponential growth initiation by >8 hours over a 24 h period^[1].
Pediocin PA 1 (500 AU/mg of protein; immediate measurement post addition/unspecified time) induces immediate efflux of pre-accumulated AIB and L-glutamate from sensitive P. pentosaceus PPE1.2 cells and prevents subsequent amino acid uptake^[2].
