Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global crisis for human public health which threatens the
effective prevention and control of ever-increasing infectious diseases. The advent of …

Over the past few decades, we have witnessed a surge around the world in the emergence
of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This global health threat arose mainly due to the overuse and …

Highlights•Endolysins are promising agents for detection and control of foodborne
pathogens.•Cell wall binding domains can be used for specific detection of bacteria in …

Staphylococcal biofilms are recognized as a significant problem in the food industry
because of their high resistance to antibiotics, and the use of bacteriophages or endolysins …

The application of bacteriophages (phages) is proposed as a highly specific therapy for
intestinal pathobiont elimination. However, the infectious associations between phages and …

As a potential antibacterial agent, endolysin can directly lyse Gram-positive bacteria from the
outside and does not lead to drug resistance. Considering that XN108 is the first reported …

Bacterial pathogens are leading causes of infections with high mortality worldwide having a
great impact on healthcare systems and the food industry. Gold standard methods for …

Bacteriophage‐encoded endolysins can recognize and bind specific bacteria, and act to
cleave the glycosidic and/or amide bonds in the peptidoglycan (PG) bacterial cell wall …

The overuse and misuse of antibiotics in treating bacterial infections cause the rapid
emergence of drug-resistant bacteria, suggesting that the development of alternative …

Here we show that the LysSA11 endolysin, derived from the virulent Staphylococcus aureus
phage SA11, has lytic activity against staphylococcal strains. Bioinformatics analysis …
