1.	Infections 01/01/1988 - "coli, Proteus mirabilis and Salmonella typhimurium killed between 80% and 100% of the spermatozoa at a concentration of 50 micrograms/ml. Muramic acid and N-acetylmuramic acid caused about 60% mortality at a concentration of 50 micrograms/ml. The possibility that the products of cellular lysis in the course of gram-negative infections cause temporary sterility is discussed." 08/01/2009 - "Lysozyme is a widely distributed antimicrobial protein having specificity for cleaving the beta-(1,4)-glycosidic bond between N-acetylmuramic acid (NAM) and N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) of peptidoglycan of the bacterial cell walls and thus efficiently contributes to protection against infections caused mainly by Gram-positive bacteria. "
2.	Tuberculosis (Tuberculoses) 10/01/2020 - "tuberculosis Rv3717 encodes N-acetylmuramoyl-l-alanine amidase, a cell-wall hydrolase that hydrolyzes the bond between N-acetylmuramic acid and l-alanine in cell-wall peptidoglycan. "
3.	Infertility (Sterility) 01/01/1988 - "coli, Proteus mirabilis and Salmonella typhimurium killed between 80% and 100% of the spermatozoa at a concentration of 50 micrograms/ml. Muramic acid and N-acetylmuramic acid caused about 60% mortality at a concentration of 50 micrograms/ml. The possibility that the products of cellular lysis in the course of gram-negative infections cause temporary sterility is discussed."
4.	Hypocalcemia 12/01/2016 - "The aim of the present work was to develop lysozyme impregnated surface-active nanosponges to maintain its conformational stability and break bacterial cell walls by catalyzing the hydrolysis of 1,4-β-linkages between N-acetyl-d-glucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid residues present in peptidoglycan layer surrounding the bacterial cell membrane, and for controlling the release of calcium in hypocalcemia condition. "
5.	Autolysis 10/01/1970 - "Autolysis was carried out and the soluble products, separated by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, from the two wall preparations are broadly similar in composition and are in agreement with autolysis proceeding with hydrolysis of amide bonds between l-alanine and N-acetylmuramic acid residues in the mucopeptide components.
