Inhalt/Content

Based on in pilot projects generated engineered lytic phage proteins will be further optimized in terms of in vivo activity and stability and additional novel phage lysins will be developed as an alternative therapeutic approach for eradication of nasal S. aureus/MRSA colonization. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) assays as well as other activity-determining parameter will be tested in comparison to mupirocin for analyses of phage lysins´ anti-S. aureus activity and specificity.
