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 Bifunctional Cell Wall Hydrolase CwlT Is Needed for Conjugation of the Integrative and Conjugative Element ICEBs1 in Bacillus subtilis and B. anthracis [PDF]
, 2014 The mobile genetic element ICEBs1 is an integrative and conjugative element (ICE) found in Bacillus subtilis. One of the ICEBs1 genes, cwlT, encodes a cell wall hydrolase with two catalytic domains, a muramidase and a peptidase.

Clonal analysis and virulence of Australian isolates of Streptococcus suis type 2 [PDF]
, 1994 Multilocus enzyme electrophoresis was used to divide 124 Australian isolates of Streptococcus suis type 2 into 17 electrophoretic types (ETs). Isolates in ET 1 were the most frequent cause of disease amongst Western Australian pigs, but isolates of ET 8 ...

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 ...

A lysozyme-like protein in Brucella abortus is involved in the early stages of intracellular replication [PDF]
, 2013 Secretion of proteins in Gram-negative bacteria is a high-energy consuming process that requires the translocation across two membranes and a periplasmic space composed of a mesh like layer, the peptidoglycan.

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.
