Characterization of the phage lysin LYS176 targeting Staphylococcus aureus and its antibacterial activity in food.
Lysin LYS176, derived from Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) bacteriophage, exerts its bactericidal effect by hydrolyzing peptidoglycan within the bacterial cell wall, leading to rapid cell lysis. Lysin LYS176 exhibited antibacterial activity against 62 strains of S. aureus and maintained strong lytic activity within t...
