Research Project: Engineering Bacteriophage Endolysins: Antimicrobials for Mastitis Pathogens That Are Refractory to Resistance Development

Location: Animal Biosciences and Biotechnology Laboratory

Project Number: 1265-31000-091-03
Project Type: Reimbursable

Start Date: Aug 01, 2007
End Date: Aug 14, 2010
