Newest firstBacillus cereus is an important food-borne pathogen for which effective biocontrol and rapid detection strategies are needed. In this study, a novel B. cereus-infecting bacteriophage, BCP01, was isolated from sewage and characterized together with its phage-derived endolysin and cell wall-binding domain (CBD). BCP01 exhibited myoviral morphology, strong lytic activity against B. cereus ATCC 14579, and stability ov…
Open article record in new tab ↗Natural and artificial endolysins exhibit bactericidal effects by destroying peptidoglycans in the cell wall of gram-positive bacteria and are usually composed of an N-terminal catalytic domain (CTD) and a C-terminal cell wall-binding domain (CBD). The structures and receptors of CBDs are variable, but bacterial Src homology 3 (SH3b) CBDs are prevalent among the natural endolysins of Staphylococcus aureus. Moreove…
Open article record in new tab ↗Bacteriophage endolysins are peptidoglycan hydrolases composed of cell binding domain (CBD) and an enzymatically active domain. A phage endolysin CBD can be used for detecting bacteria owing to its high specificity and sensitivity toward the bacterial cell wall. We aimed to develop a method for detection of Enterococcus faecalis using an endolysin CBD. The gene encoding the CBD of ECP3 phage endolysin was cloned i…
