Lysostaphin, an endopeptidase specific for the cell wall peptidoglycan of staphylococci, is an extremely potent anti-staphylococcal agent. Lysostaphin is used as a research and diagnostic tool.

• Escherichia Coli
• Sterile Filtered lyophilized powder
• The protein was lyophilized without any additives
• Lysostaphin although stable at 4 °C for six months, should be stored desiccated below −18 °C
• Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles
• It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Lysostaphin in 20 mM sodium acetate, pH 4.5, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Because it lyses staphylococci efficiently, it is widely used when preparing staphylococcal DNA or other cellular components for genetic and biochemical studies and for the preparation of protoplasts for transformation. Preparation and analysis of bacterial DNA has become a powerful tool used by clinical and other microbiologists in epidemiological studies aimed at tracing sources of infection or bacterial contamination.
