The CD27L and CTP1L endolysins targeting Clostridia contain a built-in trigger and release factor.

The CD27L and CTP1L endolysins targeting Clostridia contain a built-in trigger and release factor.

The bacteriophage ΦCD27 is capable of lysing Clostridium difficile, a pathogenic bacterium that is a major cause for nosocomial infection. A recombinant CD27L endolysin lyses C. difficile in vitro, and represents a promising alternative as a bactericide. To better understand the lysis mechanism, we...
