Characterization and antibacterial activity of highly thermo- and pH-stable endolysin LysCPQ7 and its application as a biocontrol agent against Clostridium perfringens in milk and cheese

Phage-encoded peptidoglycanases (phage endolysins) are hydrolyzing enzymes that break peptidoglycan bonds within infected bacterial cell walls at the end of the lytic cycle. They are promising antibacterial agents capable of controlling major foodborne pathogens. Here, we cloned, overexpressed, and...
