Characterization of the bacteriophage φEf11 ORF 28 endolysin: A multi-functional lytic enzyme with properties distinct from all other identified Enterococcus. faecalis phage endolysins.

In this study, we have cloned, expressed, purified and characterized an endolysin produced by a bacteriophage infecting strains of Enterococcus faecalis The lysin is broadly active against most of the tested E. faecalis strains, and exhibits multifunctional enzymatic specificities that differ from all other characterized endolysins produced by E. faecalis bacteriophages.
