Uncovering novel endolysins against methicillin-resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> using microbial single-cell genome sequencing
2023-06-22
Abstract excerpt
Endolysins, peptidoglycan hydrolases derived from bacteriophages (phages), are being developed as a promising alternative to conventional antibiotics. To obtain highly active endolysins, a diverse library of endolysins is vital. We here propose microbial single-cell genome sequencing as an efficient tool to discover dozens of previously unknown endolysins, owing to its culture-independent sequencing method. As a p...
