    Sammanfattning : The increasing threat of antibiotic resistance calls for the development of new treatment methods. Bacteriophages are interesting candidates since they can lyse bacteria with great efficiency. Bacteriophages produce enzymes called endolysins which break down the peptidoglycan in the cell wall at the end of the infection cycle. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Bacteriophages, or phages, are viruses that infect bacteria, at the end of their life cycle produce a set of enzymes called endolysins to lyse host cells from within, facilitating the release of the viral progeny. Due to their lytic activity, endolysins have gained great interest as potential antibacterials targeting both Gram–positive and –negative bacteria, especially in the actual context of increasing rates of antibiotics resistance.
