Phage lytic enzymes are promising antimicrobial agents. In this study, an endolysin derived from vB_AbaM_PhT2 (vPhT2), was identified. This endolysin represented the conserved lysozyme domain.

- The study investigates the genetic characteristics of a nosocomial pathogen commonly found in ICUs by comparing hospital environmental samples with clinical isolates to understand its resistance patterns.
- Researchers collected 106 isolates from various hospital surfaces, finding high levels of multidrug resistance, particularly in AMBU bags, bedrails, and suction tubes, with environmental strains showing a notable degree of genetic similarity to clinical strains.
- The findings highlight a significant presence of antibiotic resistance genes, with environmental and clinical strains frequently sharing genetic traits, raising concerns about infection control and transmissibility in hospital settings.
