The enterococcal cytolysin is a two-component lantibiotic made up of the post-translationally modified peptides CylL L ″ and CylL S ″. It is produced by many clinical isolates of Enterococcus ...

"Your chances of dying increase by 5-fold when you get infected by E. faecalis that can make cytolysin compared to those that cannot," said Wilfred van der Donk (MMG), a professor of chemistry and ...

Enterococcus faecalis contain a toxin called cytolysin, which is found in roughly 50 percent of isolates that cause post-operative intraocular infections seen in the United States. In recent years ...

The new findings, reported in Nature Chemical Biology, should help scientists find new ways to target the enterococcal cytolysin protein, a “virulence factor that is associated with acute infection in ...

The cytolysin A toxin is secreted by E. coli,Shigella and Salmonella. The toxin secreted by E. coli bacteria is water-soluble and binds to the cell membrane. The binding of the water-soluble toxin ...
