Rearing system, utility type and hens’ age as a factor modifying lysozyme's hydrolytic activity [PDF]
Roczniki Naukowe Polskiego Towarzystwa Zootechnicznego, 2021 The aim of study was to analyze the impact of the utility type, age and rearing system of hens on egg quality traits and the enzymatic activity of egg albumen lysozyme (LA). The material consisted of 120 eggs from two genotypes of hens: Hy-Line Brown and

Mechanisms of substrate recognition by a typhoid toxin secretion-associated muramidase
eLife, 2020 Typhoid toxin is a virulence factor for the bacterial pathogen Salmonella Typhi, which causes typhoid fever in humans. After its synthesis by intracellular bacteria, typhoid toxin is secreted into the lumen of the Salmonella-containing vacuole by a ...

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 (

Blood Muramidase Activity in Colorectal Cancer [PDF]
BMJ, 1974 The serum muramidase levels were measured in 128 patients with primary or metastatic colorectal cancer, 166 tumour-free patients after resection of a colorectal cancer, and 172 controls. Muramidase levels over 10 mug/ml were detected in 30%-39% of the tumour-bearing patients, in 8.2% of the tumour free, and in only 1.7% of the controls (normal level 6 ...

New Insights into the Effects of Microbial Muramidase Addition in the Diets of Broiler Chickens
Animals, 2023 The study aimed to explore how broiler chickens’ blood biochemistry, breast muscles’ fatty acid profile, growth, intestinal morphology, and immune status would be influenced by adding microbial muramidase (MUR) to the diet.

Serum Muramidase and Granulocyte Turnover
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1968 SummaryStudies in rabbits indicate that serum muramidase activity probably is derived mostly from the degradation of granulocytes. The data also suggest that serum muramidase levels may be a useful index of granulocyte turnover.
