J.YR 1971 T1 Lysozyme Production By Staphylococci And Micrococci JF Journal of Medical Microbiology, VO 4 IS 3 SP 375 OP 379 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/00222615-4-3-375 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1473-5644, AB SUMMARY Lysozyme production by members of the Micrococeaceae was tested for by a plate method. All coagulase-positive staphylococci and a number of other staphylococci and micrococci produced lysozyme. Many coagulase-negative staphylococci and micrococci from infections of the urinary tract produced lysozyme, particularly those belonging to Micrococcus subgroup 3 in Baird-Parker’s scheme, but lysozyme production was more frequent in urinary than in skin strains, not only in this subgroup but in several other subgroups of staphylococci and micrococci. Coagulase-negative staphylococci that colonised internal artificial prostheses rarely produced lysozyme. It is suggested that cocci that cause indolent colonisation of internal prostheses are not pathogenic in the conventional sense., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jmm/10.1099/00222615-4-3-375
