Bactericidal range of LysEF-P10 based on assays of various strains of E. faecalis and E. faecium. Log-phase cultures of different strains were exposed to LysEF-P10 (final concentration, 20 µg/ml) (grey) or buffer (black) for 1 h. The number of viable bacterial cells after treatment indicates the bactericidal activity. (A) VREF (E. faecalis) strains. (B) VSEF (E. faecalis) strains and E. faecium strains. Error bars = ±SDs (n = 3).
