Abstract:Bacteriophage endolysins are peptidoglycan hydrolases composed of cell binding domain (CBD) and an enzymatically active domain. A phage endolysin CBD can be used for detecting bacteria owing to its high specificity and sensitivity toward the bacterial cell wall. We aimed to develop a method for detection of
Enterococcus faecalis
using an endolysin CBD. The gene encoding the CBD of ECP3 phage endolysin was cloned into the
Escherichia coli
expression vector pET21a. A… Show more
