Abstract Gram-positive (G+) bacterial infection is a great burden to both healthcare and
community medical resources. As a result of the increasing prevalence of multidrug-resistant …

As antimicrobial resistance continues to escalate, the exploration of alternative approaches
to safeguard food safety becomes more crucial than ever. Phage endolysins are enzymes …

Escherichia coli is one of the most notorious pathogens for its ability to adapt, colonize, and
proliferate in different habitats through a multitude of acquired virulence factors. Its presence …

The Clostridia produce and secrete Large Clostridial Glucosylating Toxins (LCGTs)
responsible for disease symptoms, but the secretion mechanism is largely unknown …

Introduction Pantoea ananatis has emerged as a significant plant pathogen affecting various
crops worldwide, causing substantial economic losses. Bacteriophages and their endolysins …

Background Traditional bioethanol fermentation industries are not operated under strict
sterile conditions and are prone to microbial contamination. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are …

Peptidoglycan-degrading enzymes are a group of proteins intensively studied as novel
antibacterials, with some of them having reached pre-clinical and clinical stages of research …

Most skin infections, including those complicating burns, are polymicrobial involving multiple
causative bacteria. Add to this the fact that many of these organisms may be antibiotic …

Lytic enzymes, or lysins for short, break down peptidoglycan and interrupt the continuity of
the cell wall, which, in turn, causes osmotic lysis of the bacterium. Their ability to destroy …

The global increase in the prevalence of drug-resistant bacteria has necessitated the
development of alternative treatments that do not rely on conventional antimicrobial agents …
