Natural microcin J25 (MccJ25) represent promising alternatives to traditional antibiotics for the treatment of drug-resistant infections. However, little is known about the antibacterial activity of recombinant MccJ25 against foodborne pathogens. Here, the activity of recombinant MccJ25 was examined using a matrix of conditions in order to assess the efficacy of recombinant MccJ25 as a mitigation against foodborne pathogens, such as  Salmonella  species and  Escherichia coli  ( E. coli ) O157:H7. Results showed that recombinant MccJ25 displayed excellent antimicrobial activity against these foodborne pathogens, including clinical isolates of  Salmonella  and  E. coli , as well as clinical antibiotic-resistant  Salmonella  and  E. coli  isolates with different minimal inhibitory concentrations. In addition, antimicrobial activity curves and Live/Dead assay evidenced that recombinant MccJ25 harbors strong bactericidal activity against  Salmonella  and  E. coli  O157:H7. Notably, recombinant MccJ25 also had great potency and induced fast mortality against different growth phase of  Salmonella  and  E. coli.  The stability analysis results showed that the activity of recombinant MccJ25 was not influenced by temperatures as high as 121°C. Varying the pH from 2.0 to 9.0 did not appear to affect the activity of recombinant MccJ25. Under the challenge of several proteases, simulated gastrointestinal fluids and serum, recombinant MccJ25 still maintained exceptionally strong antimicrobial activity. Significant reductions in  Salmonella  Pullorum levels were also achieved in food biological environments, such as milk, egg and meat. Moreover, we demonstrated that recombinant MccJ25 appeared to act by inducing membrane breaks, thinning, and disintegration in the  Salmonella  Pullorum cytoplasmic membrane. Taken together, these results indicated that recombinant MccJ25 could be an effective alternative for mitigating and prevention of  Salmonella  and  E. coli  infection in food, animal and agriculture applications.
