Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are major contributors to food spoilage, animal diseases, and the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) in healthcare, highlighting urgent need for effective treatments. Bacteriocins produced by lactic acid (LAB) have gained attention their non-toxic nature strong antimicrobial properties. LAB-derived bacteriocins been successfully applied preservation classified U.S. Food Drug Administration (FDA) as ‘food-grade’ or ‘generally recognized safe’ (GRAS). This review summarizes recent progress production, purification, emerging applications LAB bacteriocins. It emphasizes versatility preservation, agriculture, medicine, providing insights into role development functional innovation.
