We have cloned a lytic enzyme, PlyPH, with a specific lytic effect on Bacillus anthracis strains. PlyPH remains active between pH 4 and 10.5, and a single dose rescued a significant percentage of mice infected intraperitoneally with an attenuated B. anthracis strain. We propose PlyPH as a novel therapeutic agent.
