Characterization of autolysins from Mycobacterium smegmatis [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1977 This study demonstrates, for the first time, the autolytic enzymes associated with mycobacterial cell walls. Based on the release of radioactivity and ninhydrin-reactive material from isolated cell walls, it was shown that maximum activity occurs during the late log phase of growth and at a buffer pH of about 8.0. Chemical analyses of autolytic digests

Toxin release mediated by the novel autolysin Cwp19 in Clostridium difficile
Microbial Cell, 2018 Clostridium difficile, also known as Clostriodioides difficile, is a Gram positive, spore-forming bacterium and a leading cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea in nosocomial environments. The key virulence factors of this pathogen are two toxins, toxin

ACTION OF "AUTOLYSIN" ON MOUSE TUMORS [PDF]
Journal of the American Medical Association, 1916 The use of "autolysin" in the treatment of cancer has been so widely heralded, in both the lay and the professional press, 1 that it was deemed proper to conduct the following experiments in order to determine whether the preparation has any action on tumors in mice, the malignancy and clinical course of which are quite comparable to those of human ...

Zymogram and Preliminary Characterization of Lactobacillus helveticus Autolysins [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1995 The autolysins of Lactobacillus helveticus ISLC5 were detected and partially characterized by renaturing sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with substrate-containing gels (zymogram). By using lyophilized Micrococcus luteus cells or heated whole cells of L.

Potential Roles and Functions of Listerial Virulence Factors during Brain Entry
Toxins, 2020 Although it rarely induces disease in humans, Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) is important due to the frequency of serious pathological conditions—such as sepsis and meningitis—it causes in those few people that do get infected.

Whole-Genome Sequence Profiling of Listeria innocua From Different Sources: Implications for Public Health. [PDF]
MicrobiologyopenThe studied strains, LIN_NWU_CNKT and LIN5_NWU_CNKT, exhibit invasiveness, pathogenicity, and MDR profiles. The isolation of these strains from food products and water underscores their significant public health implications, particularly in the context of the “One Health” concept.

Lysozyme resistance in Streptococcus suis is highly variable and multifactorial. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: Streptococcus suis is an important infectious agent for pigs and occasionally for humans. The host innate immune system plays a key role in preventing and eliminating S. suis infections.
