Saliva, cervical mucus, prostatic fluid, and tears contain lysozymes that protect the client from invasion of gram-positive bacteria.
- Lysozyme is an enzyme that's suitable to lyse bacterial cell membranes and therefore serve as an antimicrobial agent in foods. Allergic responses have also been described from pharmaceutical uses of lysozyme. Allergic responses have also been described from pharmaceutical uses of lysozyme Lysozyme is also used in the clarification of wines Lysozyme is a foundation of innate immunity
- Since lysozymes are highly cationic, they can kill bacteria without peptidoglycan hydrolysis as well. Reflecting the ongoing arms race between host and overrunning microorganisms, both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria have evolved mechanisms to thwart killing by lysozyme. In addition to its direct antimicrobial part, more recent proof has shown that lysozyme modulates the host immune response to infection.
