Bacteriophage-Derived Peptidase CHAPK Eliminates and Prevents Staphylococcal Biofilms
New antibacterial agents are urgently needed for the elimination of biofilm-forming bacteria that are highly resistant to traditional antimicrobial agents. Proliferation of such bacteria can lead to significant economic losses in the agri-food sector. This study demonstrates the potential of the bac...
