Human Gut Phageome Analysis Uncovers Thousands of Highly Modular Endolysins

2026-04-28

Abstract excerpt

The escalating threat of antimicrobial resistance has renewed global interest in bacteriophages as precise and powerful tools for controlling bacterial populations in the human gut. These viruses owe much of their antibacterial potential to phage-encoded endolysins, enzymes capable of rapidly degrading bacterial cell walls with high specificity and low potential for resistance development. Despite their therapeuti...
