Lysozyme M deficiency leads to an increased susceptibility to Streptococcus pneumoniae-induced otitis media

open access: yesBMC Infectious Diseases, 2008
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.

Pre-absorbed immunoproteomics: a novel method for the detection of Streptococcus suis surface proteins. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Streptococcus suis serotype 2 (SS2) is a zoonotic pathogen that can cause infections in pigs and humans. Bacterial surface proteins are often investigated as potential vaccine candidates and biomarkers of virulence.

Cell wall modifications that alter the exolytic activity of lactococcal phage endolysins have little impact on phage growth

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Bacteriophages are a nuisance in the production of fermented dairy products driven by starter bacteria and strategies to reduce the risk of phage infection are permanently sought.

An investigation to observe the effect of DMSO and glycerol on the aggregation of lysozyme [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Huntington’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, Prions Disease are few among many diseases caused due to the aggregation of misfolded proteins, which eventually leads to the formation of amyloids.

Human lactoferrin but not lysozyme neutralizes HSV-1 and inhibits HSV-1 replication and cell-to-cell spread [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The frequent oral shedding of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) in the absence of clinical disease suggests that symptomatic HSV-1 recurrences may be inhibited by the mucosal environment.

Lineage and Virulence of Streptococcus suis Serotype 2 Isolates from North America

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2011
We performed multilocus sequence typing of 64 North American Streptococcus suis serotype 2 porcine isolates. Strains were sequence type (ST) 28 (51%), ST25 (44%), and ST1 (5%).

Molecular typing of Streptococcus suis strains isolated from diseased and healthy pigs between 1996-2016.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
Streptococcus suis is an economically important pathogen of pigs as well as a zoonotic cause of human disease. Serotyping is used for further characterization of isolates; some serotypes seem to be more virulent and more widely spread than others.

Distribution and composition of the lysis cassette of Lactococcus lactis phages and functional analysis of bacteriophage ul36 holin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The bacteriophage lysis cassette, which comprises a lysin and a holin gene, was analyzed in 18 Lactococcus lactis phages. A muramidase motif was found in the lysins of c2-like phages, while an amidase motif was observed in the lysins of 936-like phages ...

New PLGA-P188-PLGA matrix enhances TGF-β3 release from pharmacologically active microcarriers and promotes chondrogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The use of injectable scaffolding materials for in vivo tissue regeneration has raised great interest in various clinical applications because it allows cell implantation through minimally invasive surgical procedures.
