The team then synthesized a lysin from a bacteriophage, or virus that attacks bacteria, that infects S. hominis. During in vitro experiments, this lysin was found to target only S. hominis ...

To combat bacteria’s tendency to evolve new methods of bypassing a drug’s mechanism of action, Rockefeller University researchers turned to the viral enzyme lysin that viruses use to break through the ...

The Singapore startup’s technology works with an antibacterial protein called lysin, which was relatively underexplored when Goh started developing this technology six years ago. Goh noted that ...
