The secreted staphylococcal biofilm protein Sbp forms biomolecular condensates in the presence of DNA

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 35, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Staphylococcus epidermidis is the leading cause of device‐related infections, primarily due to its ability to form biofilms, surface‐adherent bacterial communities that confer remarkable resistance to antibiotics and host defenses. Small basic protein, Sbp, is a 16‐kDa protein expressed by S.

Lactobacillus acidophilus Autolysins Inhibit Helicobacter pylori In Vitro

open access: yesCurrent Microbiology, 2001
Antibacterial activity of 17 strains of lactobacilli was tested against 10 strains of H. pylori. The inhibition observed was related to the acid production and the low pH attained. No relationship between CagA phenotype of H. pylori strains and tolerance to lactic acid was observed. In mixed cultures, L. acidophilus CRL 639 showed an autolytic behavior

LytA, Major Autolysin of Streptococcus pneumoniae, Requires Access to Nascent Peptidoglycan

open access: yes, 2012
Background: The regulation of cell wall hydrolysis by the pneumococcal autolysin LytA is poorly understood. Results: The cell wall is susceptible to extracellular LytA only during the stationary phase or after cell wall synthesis inhibition.

Les autolysines des bactéries lactiques [PDF]

open access: yesLe Lait, 1996
Les autolysines sont definies comme des enzymes bacteriennes endogenes capables d'hydrolyser le peptidoglycane, qui est le constituant majeur et essentiel de la paroi. Leur action peut donc induire la lyse bacterienne. Un certain nombre d'autolysines ont ete caracterisees au niveau moleculaire chez differentes bacteries.

Partial characterization of a major autolysin from Mycobacterium phlei [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiology, 1999
Autolytic enzyme profiles of fast- and slow-growing mycobacteria were examined using SDS-PAGE zymography with incorporated mycobacterial peptidoglycan sacculi as substrate. Each species tested (Mycobacterium phlei, Mycobacterium smegmatis, Mycobacterium aurum, Mycobacterium fortuitum and Mycobacterium kansasii) appeared to produce a different set of ...

Metagenomic and Phenotypic Insights Into Biofilm‐Forming Pathogens in Patients With Nosocomial Sepsis

open access: yesBioMed Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Biofilm‐related infections significantly contribute to bacterial diseases, with estimates suggesting that at least 80% of such infections are associated with biofilms. These infections often involve opportunistic pathogens, which not only influence the type of infection but also impact the microenvironment by interacting with other polymicrobial ...

Purification and Characterization of an Autolysin from Clostridium acetobutylicum [PDF]

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology, 1981
A proteinaceous substance with antibiotic-like activity, resembling that of a bacteriocin, was isolated from an industrial-scale acetone-butanol fermentation of Clostridium acetobutylicum . The substance, purified by acetone precipitation, diethylaminoethyl cellulose chromatography, and polyacrylamide gel ...

Mechanistic Landscape and Farm to Fork Control Strategies for Streptococcus suis: An Emerging Foodborne Threat

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Streptococcus suis (S. suis) is an emerging zoonotic agent that now rivals classical food‐borne pathogens in its global clinical burden of meningitis and septic shock. Recent epidemiological syntheses covering more than 30 countries now list over 1600 laboratory‐confirmed human cases with a pooled case‐fatality of about 12%, climbing beyond 18% in East

Characterization of an autolysin mutant of Porphyoromonas gingivalis

open access: yes, 2005
P(論文)The results of a BLAST search for autolysin indicated that one ORF was indentified as an autolysin which had 39% homology (58/147 amino acids) with the N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase like protein of Clostridium tetani.
