Antibacterial activity of a newly identified phage-derived endolysin and its parental bacteriophage against clinical uropathogenic Escherichia coli
The increasing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant uropathogenic Escherichia coli highlights the need for antibacterial strategies that can complement or extend beyond conventional antibiotic treatment. Bacteriophages and phage-derived lytic enzymes represent promising alternatives because of their distinct mechanisms o...
