While in general most bacteriocins inhibit only closely related species, nisin is a rare example of a "broad-spectrum" bacteriocin effective against many Gram-positive organisms, including lactic acid bacteria (commonly associated with spoilage), ''Listeria monocytogenes'' (a known pathogen), ''Staphylococcus aureus,'' ''Bacillus cereus'', ''Clostridium botulinum'', etc. It is also particularly effective against spores. Gram-negative bacteria are protected by their outer membrane but may become susceptible to nisin action after a heat shock or when this is coupled with the chelator EDTA. Nisin is soluble in water and can be effective at levels nearing the parts-per-billion range<ref>PMID:2119570</ref>. | While in general most bacteriocins inhibit only closely related species, nisin is a rare example of a "broad-spectrum" bacteriocin effective against many Gram-positive organisms, including lactic acid bacteria (commonly associated with spoilage), ''Listeria monocytogenes'' (a known pathogen), ''Staphylococcus aureus,'' ''Bacillus cereus'', ''Clostridium botulinum'', etc. It is also particularly effective against spores.
