Bacterial debris in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) are continuously being produced by the microbiota present upon bacterial division and death. One of the most abundant components in bacterial debris are peptidoglycans (PGN), a structural cell wall ...

Lysozyme M deficiency leads to an increased susceptibility to Streptococcus pneumoniae-induced otitis media [PDF]
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.

Extracellular and cellular distribution of muramidase-2 and muramidase-1 of Enterococcus hirae ATCC 9790 [PDF]
A substantial portion of the second peptidoglycan hydrolase (muramidase-2) activity of Enterococcus hirae ATCC 9790 (formerly Streptococcus faecium) is present in the supernatant culture medium. In contrast, nearly all muramidase-1 activity is associated with cells in the latent, proteinase-activatable form.

A bacteriolytic muramidase from the basidiomycete Schizophyllum commune [PDF]
The basidiomycete Schizophyllum commune produces an extracellular bacteriolytic enzyme when grown on heat-killed cells of Bacillus subtilis as sole C, N and P source. The enzyme catalyses the dissolution of isolated B. subtilis cell walls at an optimum pH of 3.2-3.4, releasing muramyl reducing groups, which indicates that it is a muramidase.

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 ...
