Lysozyme M deficiency leads to an increased susceptibility to Streptococcus pneumoniae-induced otitis media

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2008
Background Lysozyme is an antimicrobial innate immune molecule degrading peptidoglycan of the bacterial cell wall. Lysozyme shows the ubiquitous expression in wide varieties of species and tissues including the tubotympanum of mammals.

Effects of dietary lysozyme on immune response and fecal microflora in both sows and their offspring

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2021
Two studies were conducted to investigate the effects of dietary lysozyme on immune response, fecal microflora in sows and their offspring fed lysozyme from late gestation to the onset of lactation, and growth performance in weaned piglets.

Lipopolysaccharide increases lysozyme adhesion to chitin

Journal of Education, Health and Sport, 2019
Background. To study the effect of lipopolysaccharide on the adsorption of lysozyme on chitin.Methods. Egg white lysozyme, lipopolysaccharide and chitin were used. The lyophilized cells of M. lyzodeikticus were used as a lysozyme substrate.

Mechanism of Reduced Glutathione Induced Lysozyme Defolding and Molecular Self-Assembly

Foods, 2023
The distinctive assembly behaviors of lysozyme (Lys) feature prominently in food, materials, biomedicine, and other fields and have intrigued many scholars. Although our previous work suggested that reduced glutathione (GSH) could induce lysozyme to form
