Abstract excerpt

The development of an appropriate technique for the identification of autolysin-defective mutants of pneumococcus has been a fundamental step to carry out studies on the molecular characteristics of the lytic enzymes of Streptococcus pneumoniae and its bacteriophage. Our results show that the pri...
