Abstract:

Lactic acid bacteria are one of the most commonly used beneficial microorganisms in production practice. They are not only employed in the fermentation of agricultural products to enhance flavor and extend shelf life,but also exhibit various biological activities such as regulating intestinal flora,enhancing immunity,and inhibiting the growth of pathogenic bacteria. In recent years,with growing public awareness of health,research on alternatives to chemical antibacterial agents and antibiotics has become a hot topic. Among these,the antibacterial metabolites produced by lactic acid bacteria have attracted considerable attention due to their high safety and efficacy. This article reviews recent global research progress on the types,preparation processes,and applications of antibacterial metabolites produced by lactic acid bacteria,and discusses future development trends.

Key words: lactic acid bacteria, metabolites, antibacterial activity, bacteriocins
