Intracellular bacteriolysis contributes to pathogenicity of Staphylococcus aureus by exacerbating AIM2-mediated inflammation and necroptosis [PDF]
Virulence, 2022 Staphylococcus aureus can survive within phagocytes. Indeed, we confirm in this study that approximately 10% of population persists in macrophages during S.

Enhancement of bacteriolysis of Shuffled phage PhiX174 gene E [PDF]
Virology Journal, 2011 Bacterial ghosts that are generated using the regulated PhiX174 lysis gene E offer a new avenue for the study of inactivated vaccines. Here, we constructed a library of mutant gene E using a gene-shuffling technique.

Bacteriolysis – a mere laboratory curiosity?
Critical Reviews in Microbiology, 2018 The role of bacteriolysis in the pathophysiology of microbial infections dates back to 1893 when Buchner and Pfeiffer reported for the first time the lysis of bacteria by immune serum and related this phenomenon to the immune response. Later on, basic anti-microbial peptides and certain beta-lactam antibiotics have been shown not only to kill ...
