Bacterial ghosts (BG) are empty cell envelopes derived from Gram-negative bacteria. They
contain many innate immunostimulatory agonists, and are potent activators of a broad range …

Most bacteriophages encode two types of cell wall lytic proteins: endolysins (lysins) and
virion-associated peptidoglycan hydrolases. Both enzymes have the ability to degrade the …
