Enzybiotics Certification Course - Antibiotic Enzymes as Drugs and Therapeutics

Biotecnika Certification course on Antibiotic Enzymes discusses the upcoming research and applications for a new method to fight infectious and deadly diseases caused by microorganisms, the Enzybiotics.

Enzybiotics has been identified as a promising field to control bacterial or fungal infections by employing viruses or lysins derived from viruses. This new approach is an amalgamation of medicinal chemistry, microbiology, biochemistry, and biochemistry.

Enzybiotics Certification Course or Antibiotic Enzymes as Drugs and Therapeutics is a significant course in terms of providing career opportunities. In a nutshell, this course opens doors to work as industrial microbiologists or as microbial biotechnologists, where one explores the application of this discovery. Therefore one will be dealing with microorganisms, isolating, culturing them, and then using their enzymes as antibiotics.

Enzybiotics - A new class of Antibiotics

Discovery of the antibiotic penicillin and other antibiotics has been one of the notable scientific contributions to humans. Antibiotics have increased the life span of mankind, so it has been under research for many years. However, with its blessing, antibiotics have also brought its cons. Resistance to antibiotics is a major hurdle in using antibiotics. Because of this, and the difficulty in discovery and designing of new antibiotics has become a herculean task year after year.

This difficulty leads to the discovery of enzybiotics, which includes the combination of words “enzymes” and “antibiotics.” Enzybiotics have been employed to treat bacterial and fungal diseases, either alone or in combination with antibiotics. Enzybiotics are nothing but a class of antibiotics. They are derived from endolysins, which are bacteriophage-encoded enzymes. Endolysins degrade the bacterial cell wall of the infected cell at the end of the lytic replication cycle.

Enzybiotics are protein molecules that provide high specificity in killing their target pathogens with a low probability of bacterial resistance. Endolysins can show a detrimental effect on both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. These are in continuous research and have entered different phases of preclinical and clinical trials.

Some Potential Applications of Enzybiotics

In the Food industry: Bacteriocin plays an important role in the food industry. It acts as food additives and preservatives like in the production of cheese and wine.

In the Medical industry: They act as potent antibacterial and antifungal agents. Enzybiotics show the ability to kill antibiotic-resistant bacteria with the least possibility of showing bacterial resistance.

In the Farm industry: It has also found application in the Farm industry. They have been used in treating septicemia and meningitis in chickens and calves. They have also found applications as biocontrol agents to control the number of Salmonella in poultry products.

Further researches are carried out on exploring the new potentials of enzybiotics, and it is believed that they will have a promising future to control the medical community by help combating the antibiotic-resistant strains of pathogens.

Benefits of the course in terms of career advancement

In specific the various industries where one can think of joining after completing this Biotecnika certification course on antibiotic enzymes successfully includes:

Pharmaceutical industry- This industry will also crave for students having knowledge in Antibiotic Enzymes due to resistance built by the microorganisms for the contemporary antibiotics. One can become a scientist in the pharmaceutical industry where one would propose new enzybiotics as drugs and therapeutics. The search for new antibiotics is growing harder as resistance builds. As bacteria grow smarter, trying to evade the effects of antibiotics, it has opened the door for Antibiotic Enzymes. Therefore if one has sound knowledge in the Biotecnika certification course on antibiotic enzymes as Drugs and Therapeutics, one can easily enter into the pharma industry. There will always be a need for such students who can be employed as scientists, technicians, or employed in short projects pertaining to enzybiotics.

Food Industry- If one has the understanding of Antimicrobial enzymes, which play a significant role in degrading the structural components of the cell walls of bacteria or fungi, then one can see themselves placed in a Food Industry.  These Antimicrobial enzymes have found applications as food preservatives. One can work in the enzyme department of the food industry, devising mechanisms to isolate the antimicrobial enzyme, purify the enzyme and apply it for food preservation, thus preventing the growth of pathogenic organisms and thereby the production of toxins in food.

Farm industry- These enzybiotics can be used to improve the health of the farm animals. Bacteriophage secretes endolysins and holins enzymes, which can effectively kill Gram-positive, Gram-negative, and many other types of bacteria infecting the poultry and other farm animals. So if one has a stronghold on this course one can see themselves placed in industries cultivating livestock, Needless to say, these are just some of the industries where one can get employment after finishing this Biotecnika certification course on antibiotic enzymes, with continuous research going on in this field there are more possibilities of getting jobs in varied industries.
