Lysostaphin
Lysostaphin is a zinc metalloproteinase (EC 3.4.24.75) produced by Staphylococcus simulans. This enzyme hydrolyses Glycine/Glycine bonds in the pentaglycine interpeptide that maintain the stability of peptidoglycans in staphylococcal cell wall [1]. Lysostaphin rapidly lyses actively growing and non-dividing cells including staphylococci in biofilms and due to its specificity, it could have high potential in the treatment of antibiotic-resistant staphylococcal infections [2]
