Discovery of Bactericidal Proteins from Phage Stab21 Using a High-Throughput Screening Method.

In the escalating battle against antimicrobial resistance, there is an urgent need to discover and investigate new antibiotic strategies. Bacteriophages are untapped reservoirs of such potential antimicrobials. This study focused on Hypothetical Proteins of Unknown Function (HPUFs) from a phage Stab21.
