Salivaricin B is a bacteriocin, a type of antimicrobial peptide produced by certain strains of bacteria, particularly those in the genus *Streptococcus*. It is characterized by its ability to inhibit the growth of closely related bacterial species, making it a subject of interest in microbiology and potential therapeutic applications. Salivaricin B exhibits a narrow spectrum of activity, primarily targeting specific Gram-positive bacteria, which is typical for many bacteriocins. Its mechanism of action generally involves disrupting the target cell membrane, leading to cell lysis. The substance is typically produced in a ribosomally synthesized form and may undergo post-translational modifications that enhance its stability and activity. Salivaricin B has garnered attention for its potential use in food preservation and as a probiotic agent, given its natural origin and specificity. Research continues to explore its applications in combating antibiotic-resistant bacteria and its role in maintaining microbial balance in various environments, including the human microbiome.
