Published in 2024 at "Archives of Microbiology"

DOI: 10.1007/s00203-024-04066-5

Abstract: Wild-type Lactococcus lactis strain LAC460 secretes prophage-encoded bacteriocin-like lysin LysL, which kills some Lactococcus strains, but has no lytic effect on the producer. LysL carries two N-terminal enzymatic active domains (EAD), and an unknown C-terminus… read more here.

Published in 2020 at "Archives of Virology"

DOI: 10.1007/s00705-020-04861-7

Abstract: The use of bacteriophage-encoded murein hydrolases (endolysins) is being actively explored as a means of controlling multidrug-resistant pathogens. Previously, we isolated and characterized one such enzyme, the phage ΦEf11 ORF28 lysin, which demonstrated profound antimicrobial… read more here.

Published in 2020 at "Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy"

DOI: 10.1128/aac.00311-20

Abstract: Streptococcus pneumoniae is a leading pathogen for bacterial pneumonia, which can be treated with bacteriophage lysins harboring a conserved choline binding module (CBM). Such lysins regularly function as choline-recognizing dimers. Previously, we reported a pneumococcus-specific… read more here.

Published in 2020 at "Applied and Environmental Microbiology"

DOI: 10.1128/aem.01311-20

Abstract: A. baumannii is one of the most challenging pathogens for which development of new and effective antimicrobials is urgently needed. Colistin is a last-resort antibiotic, and even colistin-resistant A. baumannii strains exist. Here, we present… read more here.

Published in 2023 at "Microbiology Spectrum"

DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.05050-22

Abstract: Staphylococcus aureus, as an Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter species (ESKAPE) pathogen, can escape the elimination of existing antibiotics. At present, phages and phage lysins against S. aureus… read more here.

Published in 2018 at "PLoS ONE"

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0197677

Abstract: Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a diverse group of molecules which play an important role in the innate immune response. Bovine NK-lysins, a type of AMP, have been predominantly found in the granules of cytotoxic T-lymphocytes… read more here.

Published in 2025 at "Molecules"

DOI: 10.3390/molecules30061234

Abstract: Porcine recombinant NK-lysin (prNK-lysin) has been shown to inhibit the proliferation and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells in vitro. However, its effects on the proliferation and metastasis of HCC cells in vivo remain unclear.… read more here.
