Research Abstract |
Development of multidrug-resistance makes medical treatment to Serratia marscecens infections by antibiotics difficult. We examined a possible control method to S. marscecens infections using the lytic enzyme of bacteriophage (phage). The complete genome sequences of two Serratia phages KSP90 and KSP100, isolated by us, were analyzed. The genes with lytic enzyme domains, however, were not specified. Alternatively, the lytic enzyme of phage ETA was fused with the possible outer membrane penetration domain of the Bacillus phage lytic enzyme. Examination of bacteriolytic activity of the fused protein to S. marscecens is advanced.
