摘要：Helicobacter pylori (
H. pylori) is a bacterium that can cause a variety of gastric diseases. Most bacteriocins have gained popularity due to their non-toxic effects on cells and antibacterial effects against a wide range of pathogenic bacteria. In this study, the chemical synthesis of the bipeptide bacteriocin PLNC8 was used to investigate its possible action mechanism against
H. pylori ZJC03 in vitro. Results showed that PLNC8 had significant anti-
H. pylori ZJC03 potential, which resulted in a significant reduction in urease activity and a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 80 μM. PLNC8 inhibited the growth of
H. pylori ZJC03, disrupting its structure as observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In addition, PLNC8 decreased the ATP level and hydrogen peroxide sensitivity of
H. pylori ZJC03. In conclusion, PLNC8 disrupts the ability of
H. pylori ZJC03 to alter the host environment, providing a new avenue for the prevention and control of
H. pylori infection, providing a theoretical foundation for further elucidation of its regulatory mechanism.
