Identifying Enzymes to Explode Antibiotic-Resistant Superbugs like MRSA

Identifying Enzymes to Explode Antibiotic-Resistant Superbugs like MRSA: "With the worrying rise of antibiotic-resistant superbugs like MRSA, scientists from a wide range of disciplines are teaming up to identify alternative therapies to keep them at bay. 1 long-considered solution is the use of lytic enzymes which attack bacteria by piercing their cell walls. Lytic enzymes are proteins that are naturally present in viruses, bacteria & in body fluids such as tears, saliva and mucus. However, until now, largely ad-hoc methods have been used to calculate the enzymes’ killing abilities."
