Investigating Novel <i>Streptomyces</i> Bacteriophage Endolysins as Potential Antimicrobial Agents

2024-04-29

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> As antibiotic resistance has become a major global threat; the World Health Organization (WHO) has urgently called for alternative strategies for control of bacterial infections. Endolysin, a phage-encoded protein, can degrade bacterial peptidoglycan (PG) and disrupt bacterial growth. According to the WHO, there are only three endolysin products currently in clinical phase development. In this...
