A recent study conducted by the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences has provided new insights into Staphylococcus aureus, a type of bacteria that is resistant to multiple antibiotics. The researchers focused on the use of bacteriophages, which are viruses that can target and destroy specific bacteria, as well as the enzymes produced by these viruses. They discovered a new bacteriophage called vB_SepP_134 that can infect various strains of Staphylococcus bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus. Additionally, they identified an enzyme called LysSte134_1 that was effective in destroying biofilms formed by Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis. This research provides potential new options for treating staphylococcal infections. [Extracted from the article] |
