Introduction
C.Diff Lysis
The team plan to introduce the ΦCD27 endolysin to the C. diff. cells within the intestinal tract via the creation of a type VI secretion system [2] which will be expressed within the E. coli cells. By adopting the type VI secretion system to facilitate endolysin delivery, the team hope to provide a foundation for systems that employ targetted C. diff. treatment.
