About this Research Topic
Antimicrobial and anticancer drugs can be obtained from bacteria, and some drugs like actinomycin D and bleomycin may have dual antimicrobial and anticancer properties. The goal of this Research Topic is to bring together the latest advances in the development, properties, and mechanistic studies of antimicrobial and anticancer substances originated from bacteria. Methods of extraction and purification of such bacterial substances are also welcome.
This Research Topic encourages original research articles, method articles, protocols, and reviews in the field of antimicrobial and anticancer substances obtained from bacteria.
Keywords: Antimicrobial Activity, Antibiotic, Bacteriocin, Bacterial Enzyme, Non-Ribosomal Peptide, Bacterial Toxin, Anticancer Activity
