The "Autolysin" Advertising

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1916
To the Editor: —In my professional life I have been flooded with the usual number of insults to intelligence both by mail and by the softspoken detail man. As a result, I have no doubt, of the active propaganda for reform carried on byThe Journal, these insults have lost a certain quality of "rawness" and become much more cleverly done.

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 ...

Endogenous cell wall degrading enzyme LytD is important for the biocontrol activity of Bacillus subtilis

Frontiers in Plant Science
Autolysins are endogenous cell wall degrading enzymes (CWDEs) in bacteria that remodel the peptidoglycan layer of its own cell wall. In the Bacillus subtilis genome, at least 35 autolysin genes have been identified.

Structural Organization of the Major Autolysin from Streptococcus pneumoniae [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1996
LytA amidase is the best known bacterial autolysin. It breaks down the N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine bonds in the peptidoglycan backbone of Streptococcus pneumoniae and requires the presence of choline residues in the cell-wall teichoic acids for activity. Genetic experiments have supported the hypothesis that its 36-kDa chain has evolved by the fusion of

Tiny carriers, big impact: How Fusobacterium nucleatum extracellular vesicles drive oral diseases and beyond

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
This review explores how Fusobacterium nucleatum extracellular vesicles drive local oral diseases and distal pathologies via sophisticated cross‐compartment cross talk. It highlights the transformative potential of these “tiny carriers” as next‐generation molecular intermediaries for advanced health monitoring and innovative bio‐interventions by ...

The Role of Polyphenols in Respiratory and Gut Health: From the Perspective of Gut‐Lung Axis

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The gut‐lung axis constitutes a dynamic, multidirectional communication platform between the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts. Its complexity arises from the integrated crosstalk among the microbiota, immune system, and redox homeostasis, collectively influencing disease susceptibility and progression.
