AbstractLysozyme is one of the most important factors of innate immunity, possessing anti-microbial action against a wide range of microorganisms due to cationic nature of protein and, in a lesser degree, due to muramidase activity. In the process of evolution, different mechanisms of lysozyme inhibition, defined as anti-lysozyme activity (ALA), were formed in microorganisms. The usage of the delayed antagonism principle allowed to reveal anti-lysozyme sign in microorganisms of different phylogenetic groups. In the review, data on the occurrence and level of anti-lysozyme activity in pathogens and representatives of normal microflora were presented; findings on nature and genetic determinants of lysozyme inhibitors are given. questions on drug regulation of ALA of the causative agents in infectious diseases and dysbiotic conditions are discussed.
