Bacteriocin has established significant efficacy as a therapeutic agent. Its discovery has been a breakthrough in the combat against antibiotic resistance, which includes both multidrug-resistant and chronic bacterial infections. They are mainly bactericidal, antibiotic-like compounds produced by many bacteria that kill strains of the same or nearly related species and are differ from other (classical) antibiotics due to their restricted specificity of action and protein composition.

Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy (aka Stress-induced cardiomyopathy) is characterized by a regional, usually transitory systolic disfunction of the left ventricle which is clinically difficult to differentiate from an acute myocardial infarction with no angiographic evidence of acute coronary obstruction. It occurs in approximately 1-2% of patients with probable myocardial infarction with troponin elevation.
