Hyaluronate lyase activity in Malaysian Isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae
Streptococcus pneumoniae is an important pathogen cause various severe illness in human particularly pneumonia, septicaemia and meningitis. One of its virulence factors is hyaluronate lyase, an enzyme which degrades hyaluronic acid (HA), a major component in extracellular matrix of human connective...

Streptococcus pneumoniae is an important pathogen cause various severe illness in human particularly pneumonia, septicaemia and meningitis. One of its virulence factors is hyaluronate lyase, an enzyme which degrades hyaluronic acid (HA), a major component in extracellular matrix of human connective tissues. Degradation of HA decrease host tissue viscosity and eventually increase tissue permeability to allow migration of pneumococcus or its product into human tissues. The study attempted to screen production of hyaluronate lyase in 100 isolates of S. pneumoniae from various sites and year of isolation, and other bacterial characteristics. Ninety-six isolates (96%) showed positive hyaluronate lyase through hyaluronic acid diffusion agar method.
