Enzybiotics: Energizing antibiotics as an effective weapon in the fight against infections

Nelson, Loomis, and Fischetti were the ones who first characterized enzybiotics as a kind of experimental antibacterial treatment. The name is a portmanteau of the terms "enzyme" and "antibiotics," which were combined to form the term. Because of the antibacterial and antimicrobial qualities that they possess, enzymes have seen widespread use. Study on enzybiotics is based on proteolytic enzymes known as endolysins, which have shown to be particularly efficient in battling a variety of bacteria and serve as the foundation for this research. Endolysins are a very effective method of lysing bacterial cells. They are derived from bacteriophages and have a long history of use. The problem of antibiotic resistance, which has allowed for the spread of drug-resistant microorganisms that pose a huge danger to animal and human health around the world, is the primary motivation for the majority of the research being conducted on enzybiotics.
