Mechanism of Action & Benefits

• Produces potent class IIa bacteriocins, including Abp118, with strong activity against Gram-positive pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes
• Colonizes the gastrointestinal tract and oral mucosa of poultry and swine, competing with pathogens for attachment sites and nutrients
• Confirmed in poultry intestinal models to reduce Campylobacter jejuni and Salmonella loads, supporting pathogen-exclusion feeding strategies
• Bacteriocin production reshapes the surrounding gut microbiota, favoring beneficial community structure and suppressing pathogen overgrowth
• Generates lactic acid, lowering intestinal luminal pH and creating an environment unfavorable to acid-tolerant pathogens
• Used as a probiotic feed additive for poultry and swine, supporting gut health and reducing reliance on in-feed antibiotics
