which inhibits cell wall synthesis77. The DNase and RNase activities of colicins from E2 to E9 enable them to non-specifically degrade bacterial DNA and RNA78. Among these, colicin E2 exhibits potent and long-lasting bactericidal activity, and interestingly, it can specifically target bacteria in ...
