  • Title: Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae neuraminidase and its role in pathogenicity.
    Author: Abrashev I, Orozova P.
    Journal: Z Naturforsch C J Biosci; 2006; 61(5-6):434-8. PubMed ID: 16869504.
    Abstract:
    The role of the enzyme neuraminidase in pathogenicity of the bacillus Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae was studied. Different substances with low and high molecular weight were tested as inducers of E. rhusiopathiae neuraminidase biosynthesis. It was found that macromolecular complexes induce the secretion of the enzyme. K(M) values for different substrates showed that the affinity of the E. rhusiopathiae neuraminidase increases in parallel with the enlargement of the molecular weight of glycoproteins. Results from the rabbits skin test confirmed the role of E. rhusiopathiae neuraminidase as a factor of pathogenicity with spreading functions.
