Endolysin of bacteriophage SPZ7: the effect of “helpers” on the enzyme lytic activity towards gram-negative microorganisms

Abstract

Bacteriophage SPZ7 endolysin functioning in the lysis of gram-negative bacteria from “outside” was studied. Significant (1.5–3 times) increase of endolysin activity towards S. enteritidis N60 and E. coli TG1 was shown in the presence of high molecular surfactants, pluronics, with large hydrophobic block; hen egg lysozyme, and peptide antibiotics, colistin in low concentrations. An approach developed can be an important for increasing an efficiency of pharmaceutical antibacterial preparations based on bacteriophage enzymes working against gram-negative microorganisms.
