Understanding and exploiting bacteriophage-host interactions for the control and detection of listeria monocytogenes
The hypothesis of this thesis is that phages isolated from the environment can play a role in the future to reduce outbreaks of the disease listeriosis by applying phages as biocontrol agents against the pathogen L. monocytogenes and by incorporating phages into systems for the detection of this …

Expanding the Horizons of Enzybiotic Identification
<p>Recently, phage lytic enzymes (also known as endolysins or, simply, lysins) have received considerable attention as potential antibacterial agents. During the infective cycle of double-stranded DNA phage, these peptidoglycan hydrolases are responsible for digesting the cell wall of the host …

Chloroplasts as bioreactors : high-yield production of active bacteriolytic protein antibiotics
… In this work, it was shown that three phage lytic enzymes (Pal, Cpl-1 and PlyGBS) could be successfully expressed at very high levels and with high stability in tobacco chloroplasts. PlyGBS expression reached an amount of foreign protein accumulation (> 70% TSP) that has never been …
