Lysocyme And Antilysozyme Activity Of Enterobacteria Isolated From Ferrous Milk Products

The nosocomial incidence of purulent-septic infections at present, due to a number of objective circumstances, has a significant increase.This article focuses on the study of the lysozyme and antilysozyme activity of Enterobacteria, which are known to cause nosocomial infections.This problem requires constant attention to the study of opportunistic or opportunistic bacteria that cause nosocomial infections.Studies aimed at the detection of bacteria belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family in milk and dairy products made it possible to isolate 252 cultures belonging to this family.Among the isolated enterobacteria were representatives of the species Escherichia coli, Enterobacter aerogenes, Enterobacter cloacae, Citrobacter freundii, Serratia marcescens, Yersinia enterocolitica.The aim of the work was to reveal the distribution of the ability of isolated cultures to produce lysozyme and antilysozyme, which are pathogenicity factors.The findings of this study are expected to contribute to a better understanding of the pathogenicity factors of Enterobacteria, thus facilitating the development of effective strategies to prevent nosocomial infections caused by these microorganisms.
