Lytic bacteriophages induce bacterial cell lysis to release progeny virions from their host cells at the last stage of the lytic cycle. Thus, the bacteriophages have developed several strategies degrading peptidoglycan layers (PGs) which are a major component of bacterial cell walls. For instance, a single lysis gene E of bacteriophage ΦX-174
