Abstract
Disclosed are novel lysin polypeptides active against Gram-negative bacteria, particularly, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and methods for their use to treat Gram-negative bacterial infections and more generally to inhibit the growth, or reduce the population, or kill Gram-negative bacteria, including without limitation disrupting biofilms formed by such bacteria. Certain of the disclosed lysins have been modified in amino acid sequence compared to that of lysins by replacement of certain charged amino acids with noncharged amino acids and/or by fusion at the N- or C-terminus with antibacterial peptide sequences with or without an intervening linker.
