The effect of peptidoglycan from Staphylococcus aureus Wood 46 on the cytotoxic activity of
macrophages and neutrophils is investigated. It is shown that bacterial peptidoglycan increases
spontaneous and stimulated TPA (respiratory burst) in both populations of phagocytes. More
sensible to murein is neutrophil. The action of peptidoglycan from S. aureus Wood 46 on the
metabolism of these cells is dose-depended with maximal stimulating effect at the addition of 10
mkg/ml of peptidoglycan in combination with TPA.
