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 …

Endolysins are bacteriophage-encoded enzymes that can specifically degrade the
peptidoglycan layer of bacterial cell wall, making them an attractive tool for the development …

Antibiotic resistance and the ability to form biofilms of Enterococcus faecalis have
compromised the choice of therapeutic options, which triggered the search for new …

Capsular polysaccharides are considered as major virulence factors associated with the
ability of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii to cause severe infections. In …

The global health threat posed by antibiotic resistance has led to new research involving
