Infectious complications play important role in morbidity and mortality in patients with burns. One of the most promising options, how we can manage the increasing resistance of pathogens, is the application of antibacterial enzymes called "enzybiotics".
MATERIALS AND METHODS:The activity of lysostaphin was determined by the plate lysis assay and the turbidity assay. In the plate lysis assay, the bacterial suspension (108 CFU/mL) was plated on the blood agar, left to dry for 10 minutes and then lysostaphin was applied.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
