Relatedness of Gardnerella prophages and their endolysins

bioRxiv
The Gardnerella genus includes a complex sub-taxonomy of bacterial species and subgroups which have been implicated in bacterial vaginosis. We analyzed G. leopoldii, G. swidsinski, G. piotii, and G. vaginalis genomes available in public databases and predicted proviral sequences using Cenote-Taker3.

Surface charge of the C-terminal helix is crucial for antibacterial activity of endolysin against Gram-negative bacteria

Journal of Biomedical Science
Backgrounds Endolysins are promising alternatives to antibiotics because they can lyse bacterial cells rapidly with a low risk of resistance development, however, their effectiveness against Gram-negative bacteria is hindered by the presence of the outer

Potential for bacteriophage endolysins to supplement or replace antibiotics in food production and clinical care

, 2019
There is growing concern about the emergence of bacterial strains showing resistance to all classes of antibiotics commonly used in human medicine. Despite the broad range of available antibiotics, bacterial resistance has been identified for every ...

Investigating novel Streptomyces bacteriophage endolysins as potential antimicrobial agents

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)

Expression, Characterization, and Comparative Analysis of Bacillus Bacteriophage Endolysins

Bacteriophages present a promising alternative for combating antibiotic-resistant bacteria without disrupting the normal microbiome or harming human cells. The antibacterial properties of lytic bacteriophages are largely attributed to endolysins, enzymes
