Abstract:Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), especially methicillin‐resistant S. aureus (MRSA), causes wound infections, whose treatment remains a clinical challenge. Bacterium‐infected wounds often create acidic niches with a pH 4.5–6.5. Endolysin LysSYL, which is derived from phage SYL, shows promise as an antistaphylococcal agent. However, endolysins generally exhibit instability and possess low bioavailability in acidic microenvironments. Here, an array of self‐assembling peptides is designed, and peptide L5 is scre… Show more
