Engineered lysins to modulate human gut microbiome communities

2024-05-14

Abstract excerpt

The ability to precisely control the human gut microbiome’s composition, metabolic networks, and host interactions would revolutionize medicine and how we treat human disease. Microbiome remodeling approaches such as probiotics, prebiotics, antibiotics, and fecal microbiota transplantation are global perturbations with consequences that are difficult to predict. Lysins are enzymes produced by bacteriophages and ba...
