Reuterin

Reuterin is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent produced by specific strains of Lactobacillus reuteri during anaerobic glycerol metabolism. Reuterin exhibits potent activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, yeasts, molds, protozoa, and human or poultry-associated Campylobacter isolates, serving as a critical tool in microbiology, food safety, and antimicrobial research.
