Essential Role for the Major Autolysin in the Fibronectin-Binding Protein-Mediated Staphylococcus aureus Biofilm Phenotype

, 2011
Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates are capable of producing at least two distinct types of biofilm mediated by the fibronectin-binding proteins (FnBPs) or the icaADBC -encoded polysaccharide intercellular adhesin (

Peculiar Behavior of Autolysin of Clostridium saccharo-perbutylacetonicum on Anion Exchanger

, 1982
The autolysin (N-acetylmuramidase) of Clostridium saccharoperbutylaceto nicum (ATCC 13564) strongly adsorbed to anion exchangers such as diethylaminoethyl (DEAE)-cellulose, triethylaminoethyl (TEAE)-cellulose and ECTEOLA-cellulose.

Allelic variation in Streptococcus pneumoniae autolysin (N- Acetyl muramoyl-L-alanine amidase)

, 1997
The lytA gene encoding the autolysin of Streptococcus pneumoniae may be a virulence determinant. Single-strand conformational polymorphism analysis demonstrated heterogenicity throughout the gene in clinical isolates and strains from the clonal serotypes

ÜBER EINE AUTOLYSIN BEIM PFERDE

Journal of The Japanese Society of Veterinary Science, 1924
1. Eine Autolysin, die bei einem Fall (latent Form) von infektiosen Blutarmut gepruften ist (1918), steht in keiner Bedeutung zur Pathologic der Anamie.2. Der hamolytische Titer der Autolysin fur eigene Blutkorperchen betrug 1:1600 und sie bedurft eines Komplements.3.

Role of autolysin in HAMLET-induced lysis and killing of S. pneumoniae.

, 2013
Pneumococcal strains D39 and AL2 (D39 ΔlytA) were treated with 150 µg/ml of HAMLET (HL) or 0.1% of the bile salt deoxycholate (DOC) over 90 minutes.

The Major Autolysin of Streptococcus gordonii Is Subject to Complex Regulation and Modulates Stress Tolerance, Biofilm Formation, and Extracellular-DNA Release

, 2011
A gene, designated atlS , encoding a major autolysin from Streptococcus gordonii , was identified and characterized. The predicted AtlS protein is 1,160 amino acids and 127 kDa and has a conserved β1,4-
