摘要: We have been witnessing an increased interest in bacteriophage studies focused on their use as antibacterial agents to fight pathogenic bacteria. This is a consequence of the phages' ability lyse bacterial host. Until recently, little was known about mechanisms used by mycobacteriophages induce lysis complex hosts. However, Ms6-induced changed this scenario and provided new insights into bacteriophage-induced lysis. Specific protein genes identified mycobacteriophage genomes, reflecting particular mycobacterial cell envelope composition. These include enzymes that target mycolic acid-containing lipids proteins participate secretion phage endolysin, functioning chaperone-like proteins. chapter focuses current knowledge mycobacteriophage-induced lysis, starting with overview basic features players.
