Microcin MccY, and preparation method and use thereof

Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a Microcin MccY, and a preparation method and use thereof, wherein the amino acid sequence of the Microcin MccY is GGRGHIAEYFSGPITQVSFYG. Compared with Microcin MccJ25 that only has a bactericidal activity against a small part of serotypes of Salmonella such as Salmonella enteritidis, the Microcin MccY has bacteriostatic/bactericidal effects on Salmonella Pullorum, Salmonella typhimurium, Salmonella kentucky, Salmonella Infantis, Salmonella London, and Shigella sonnei, and can kill other serotypes of Salmonella that MccJ25 cannot kill. Especially, the Microcin MccY has an outstanding bactericidal effect on Salmonella typhimurium and Salmonella Pullorum which are common in livestock and poultry production, and meanwhile it also has bacteriostatic/bactericidal effects on Shigella sonnei. Therefore, the Microcin MccY overcomes the shortcoming of the narrow spectrum of the Microcin, has breakthrough significance, and has the potential as a substitute to antibiotics.
