Pesticin displays muramidase activity [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1997 Pesticin of Yersinia pestis is the only bacteriocin that converts sensitive cells to stable spheroplasts. The amino acid sequence of pesticin as derived from the nucleotide sequence shows no similarity to those of any of the bacteriocins. The unique properties of pesticin prompted an investigation of its mode of action.

Molecular basis of resistance to muramidase and cationic antimicrobial peptide activity of lysozyme in staphylococci. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2007 It has been shown recently that modification of peptidoglycan by O-acetylation renders pathogenic staphylococci resistant to the muramidase activity of lysozyme. Here, we show that a Staphylococcus aureus double mutant defective in O-acetyltransferase A (

A multi-omics approach to elucidate the mechanisms of action of a dietary muramidase administered to broiler chickens [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 A novel dietary muramidase has been shown to have positive effects on broiler chickens. However, very little is known about its mechanisms of action. The present multi-omics investigation sought to address this knowledge gap.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 Muramidase-released protein (MRP) is as an important virulence marker of Streptococcus suis (S. suis) serotype 2. Our previous works have shown that MRP can bind human fibrinogen (hFg); however, the function of this interaction in S.suis meningitis is ...

The influence of microbial muramidase on growth and gut health of weaned piglets
Italian Journal of Animal ScienceMicrobial muramidase (MUR) can hydrolyses bacterial peptidoglycan (PGN) in the gut, thereby reducing PGN-induced mucosal inflammation and promoting intestinal homeostasis. Based on this, it was hypothesised that dietary supplementation with microbial MUR
