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 (

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

A Rapid and Sensitive Assay of Muramidase.
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1965 SummaryAn improved method has been developed for assay of muramidase in several biological systems. This method involves measurement of the rate of lysis of a 25 mg% suspension of M. lysodeikticus in 0.05 M NaCl and M/15 phosphate buffer, pH 6.2. The rate of lysis is measured in a Beckman DB spectrophotometer at 540 mμ with an attached recorder.

<i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> Cryptic Prophage Endolysin Is a Highly Active Muramidase. [PDF]
BiochemistryEndolysins are phage-encoded enzymes that cleave the peptidoglycan of host bacteria. These enzymes have gained considerable attention due to their ability to cause cell lysis, making them candidates as antibacterial agents.

Crystal Structure of Human Lysozyme Complexed with N-Acetyl-α-d-glucosamine
Applied Sciences, 2022 Human lysozyme is a natural non-specific immune protein that participates in the immune response of infants against bacterial and viral infections. Lysozyme is a well-known hydrolase that cleaves peptidoglycan in bacterial cell walls.
