Distinct mode of action of a highly stable, engineered phage lysin killing Gram-negative bacteria

Distinct mode of action of a highly stable, engineered phage lysin killing Gram-negative bacteria

ABSTRACT Therapeutic options to treat bacterial infections caused by Gram-negative pathogens are limited due to the spread of multidrug resistance. Protein engineering of phage-derived lysins can play a key role in the search for new antimicrobial compounds targeting Gram-negative pathogens. A previ...
