Newest firstBackground:Clostridium perfringens is a significant cause of food poisoning. Broad-spectrum antibiotics, commonly used to control C. perfringens, are becoming less effective due to the rise of antibiotic-resistant strains, necessitating alternative control strategies. Methods: A C. perfringens-infecting bacteriophage, Dolk21, and its endolysin, PlyDolk21, were isolated and characterized. The lytic activity of PlyD…
Open article record in new tab ↗Geobacillus stearothermophilus is a highly thermophilic, spore-forming Gram-positive bacterium that causes flat sour spoilage in low-acid canned foods. To address this problem, we isolated G. stearothermophilus-infecting phage GR1 from the soil and characterized its endolysin LysGR1. Phage GR1 belongs to the Siphoviridae family and possesses a genome of 79,387 DNA bps with 108 putative open reading frames. GR1 dem…
Open article record in new tab ↗In response to increasing concern over antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, the development of novel antimicrobials has been called for, with bacteriophage endolysins having received considerable attention as alternatives to antibiotics. Most staphylococcal phage endolysins have a modular structure consisting of an N-terminal cysteine, histidine-dependent amidohydrolases/peptidase domain (CHAP), a central a…
