Randomized trial demonstrates transcriptomic changes in Escherichia coli due to endolysin exposure, indicating potential therapeutic strategies.

Key Points

This research aims to explore how sublethal exposure to endolysin LNT113 affects the gene expression of Escherichia coli.
Investigated transcriptomic responses of E. coli to sublethal LNT113 exposure
Identified 552 differentially expressed genes (DEGs)
Created thirteen mutant strains by deleting specific DEGs to evaluate their roles in stress tolerance.
Thirteen DEGs involved in stress response and envelope maintenance were deleted, leading to increased susceptibility to LNT113 in mutants ΔfabB and Δ(prmB–yfcL)
Mutants ΔaroC and ΔmepA showed heightened sensitivity to LNT113
Complementation of mutants with specific genes restored membrane integrity, highlighting the importance of membrane dynamics under endolysin stress.
