Recombinant spider silk coatings functionalized with enzymes targeting bacteria and biofilms

Abstract Bacteria forming biofilms on surgical implants is a problem that might be alleviated by the use of antibacterial coatings. In this article, recombinant spider silk was functionalized with the peptidoglycan degrading endolysin SAL‐1 from the staphylococcal bacteriophage SAP‐1 and the biofilm...
