World Health Organization (WHO) foreseen: • Almost one billion people will be infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis between the years 2000 and 2020. • About 35 million humans will die till 2020 as a result of tuberculosis in antibiotic-resistant form . • Over 70% of bacterial pathogens that cause fatal infections are likely to be resistant to at least one of the drugs (Infectious Disease Society of America, IDSA). • Several preventive measures have been taken to avoid the microbial resistance development, but still there is an urgent need for new antimicrobial agents and new strategies to overcome problematic resistant pathogens. • Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), particularly bacteriocins produced by bacteria, may be an important contributor in this context as they often have a relatively narrow killing spectrum (Nes et al. 2007).

Therapeutic potential of bacteriocins • Thuricin CD isolated from Bacillus thuringiensis DPC6431, specifically eliminates Clostridium difficile without disrupting the beneficial microbial community (Rea et al. 2010). • Nisin, mersacidin and lacticin 3147 can eradicate infections caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, MRSA in mice, tooth diseases in dogs and bovine mastitis in dairy cows (Òkuda et al. 2013). • Microcin J25 has been shown to drastically reduce Salmonella infectionin a mouse model (Lopez et al. 2007). • Fermenticin HV6b and nisin ZP inhibitwide range of pathogens, spermicidal and anticancerous activity as reported to induce apoptosis in cancerous cells (Kaur et al. 2013; Kamrajan et al. 2015).
