Twort and others wanted to use these bacteriolytic agents to cure bacterial diseases in humans and animals. From LearnThat.org. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Twort]
In 1921, he discovered in «tissues and secretions» an important bacteriolytic substance which he named Lysozyme. From Wordnik.com. [Sir Alexander Fleming - Biography] Reference
Of these the most important are (a) bacteriolytic or lysogenic action, (b) agglutinative action, and (c) opsonic action. From Wordnik.com. [Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 3, Part 1, Slice 2 "Baconthorpe" to "Bankruptcy"] Reference
For that reason, the immunity so obtained is called bacteriolytic immunity, and the antibody is designated by the name of bacteriolytic antibody. From Wordnik.com. [Physiology or Medicine 1919 - Presentation Speech] Reference
The activity of streptomycin is principally bacteriostatic, i.e. it checks the bacterial growth and is in some degree also bacteriolytic, i.e. it destroys the tubercle bacillus. From Wordnik.com. [Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1952 - Presentation Speech] Reference
The extraordinary bacteriolytic power of lysozyme - a ferment present in our normal cells and secretions - especially in such supposedly inert secretion as the tears - showed me how powerful an antibiotic substance could be. From Wordnik.com. [Sir Alexander Fleming - Banquet Speech] Reference
One is the thermostable antibody of bacteriolytic immunization formed in the immunized animal and present in its serum; the other exists already in the normal animal; it does not stand up to heating nor to preservation, and does not increase during immunization. From Wordnik.com. [Physiology or Medicine 1919 - Presentation Speech] Reference
It can be shown that in many cases when bacteria are injected the serum of the treated animal has no bacteriolytic effect, and still an immune body is present, which leads to the fixation of complement; in this case bacteriolysis does not occur, because the organism is not susceptible to the action of the complement. From Wordnik.com. [Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 3, Part 1, Slice 2 "Baconthorpe" to "Bankruptcy"] Reference
A body formed at the time of immunization, the bacteriolytic antibody, and of a substance present in normal serum and not under the influence of immunization, the alexin or the complement. From Wordnik.com. [Physiology or Medicine 1919 - Presentation Speech] Reference
A haemolytic or bacteriolytic serum. From Wordnik.com. [Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 3, Part 1, Slice 2 "Baconthorpe" to "Bankruptcy"] Reference
