From discovery to potential application: engineering a novel M23 peptidase to combat Listeria monocytogenes
5 May 2025
Abstract excerpt
Peptidoglycan hydrolases are promising alternatives for combating pathogens due to their specificity and potent bacteriolytic activity. In this study, a novel M23 peptidase from Streptococcus thermophilus NCTC10353, designated StM23, was discovered and characterized. It exhibited antibacterial activity against Listeria monocytogenes and other Gram-positive bacteria with meso-DAP-type peptidoglycan, including...
