Due to the global emergence of antibiotic resistance, there has been an increase in
research surrounding endolysins as an alternative therapeutic. Endolysins are phage …

Monoderm bacteria possess a cell envelope made of a cytoplasmic membrane and a cell
wall, whereas diderm bacteria have and extra lipid layer, the outer membrane, covering the …

Appearance of pathogenic bacteria resistant to most, if not all, known antibiotics is currently
one of the most significant medical problems. Therefore, development of novel antibacterial …

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

In nature, plants are always under the threat of pests and diseases. Pathogenic bacteria are
one of the major pathogen types to cause diseases in diverse plants, resulting in negative …

Bacteriophages express endolysins toward the end of their replication cycle to degrade the
microbial cell wall from within, allowing viral progeny to be released. Endolysins can also …

D29 mycobacteriophage encodes LysA endolysin, which mediates mycobacterial host cell
lysis by targeting its peptidoglycan layer, thus projecting itself as a potential therapeutic …

Salmonella is responsible for a wide range of infections and is a constant threat to public
health, particularly in light of emerging antibiotic resistance. The use of bacteriophages and …

Phage lysins, bacteriophage-encoded enzymes tasked with degrading their host's cell wall,
are increasingly investigated and engineered as novel antibacterials across diverse …

Worldwide, foods waste caused by putrefactive organisms and diseases caused by
foodborne pathogens persist as public health problems even with a plethora of modern …
