Our findings demonstrate that bovicin HC5 is distributed among ruminal streptococci from different breeds of cattle. The high degree of conservation of the bovicin HC5 structural gene among strains of ruminal streptococci suggests that random genetic drift is not a dominant force in the evolution of this bacteriocin.
