Extracellular vesicles displaying endolysins to specifically target and eliminate Staphylococcus aureus

Caption

Pusan National University researchers developed novel extracellular vesicle (EV)-based platform to target harmful bacteria. The tailored EVs derived from Lacticaseibacillus paracasei contain a surface-displaying protein that carries PlyF307SQ-8C endolysin to target S. aureus.
