    Abstract: Disclosed herein are modified lysin polypeptides thereof comprising at least one amino acid substitution as compared to a wild-type PlySs2 lysin polypeptide having an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, wherein the at least one amino acid substitution is in the CHAP domain and/or the SH3b domain, and wherein the modified lysin polypeptide or fragment thereof inhibits the growth, tin reduces the population, or kills at least one species of Gram-positive bacteria. Further disclosed herein are compositions comprising the modified lysin polypeptides, as well as vectors comprising a nucleic acid molecule that encodes the modified lysin polypeptide. Also disclosed herein are methods of inhibiting the growth, reducing the population, or killing at least one species of Gram-positive bacteria, methods of treating a bacterial infection, and methods of augmenting the efficacy of an antibiotic or reducing the development of antibiotic resistance.
