An enterococcal phage protein broadly inhibits type IV restriction enzymes involved in antiphage defense

2023-11-16

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The prevalence of multidrug resistant (MDR) bacterial infections continues to rise as the development of antibiotics needed to combat these infections remains stagnant. MDR enterococci are a major contributor to this crisis. A potential therapeutic approach for combating MDR enterococci is bacteriophage (phage) therapy, which uses lytic viruses to infect and kill pathogenic bacteria. While phage...
