Antibacterial Activity of a Lytic Enzyme Encoded by Pseudomonas aeruginosa Double Stranded RNA Bacteriophage phiYY

Multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most life-threatening pathogens for global health. In this regard, phage encoded lytic proteins, including endolysins and virion-associated peptidoglycan hydrolases (VAPGH), have been proposed as promising antimicrobial agents to treat P. aeru...
