Enhanced antibacterial activity of surface re-engineered lysozyme against Gram-negative bacteria without accumulated resistance

Biomater Sci. 2022 Aug 9;10(16):4474-4478. doi: 10.1039/d2bm00868h.

Abstract

In this study, we show a way to improve the antibacterial activity of lysozyme by incorporating guanidino functional groups onto its surface (Lyz-Gua), which could treat pathogenic bacteria without accumulated resistance and shows advantages over commercial antibiotics.
