| Abstract | ||
| Two hundred and ten specimens include urine, blood and ear swab were collected from different hospitals in Baghdad city; 85 (40%) isolates were diagnosed as Proteus spp. with (82%), (11.7%) and (5.8%) represented in urine, blood and ear swab specimens respectively. PCR technique was shown 30 (35.3%) isolates were positive for specific Urease C gene that used in rapid detection of Proteus vulgaris. The ability for chondritinase production was checked invetro and invevo, 24 (80%) isolates of P. vulgaris were showed ablity to chondritinase production and the isolate (p17) has higher enzyme activity value to (175.2U/ml). The Chondroitinase was purified by three short steps only included precipitate with 60% saturated of ammonium sulfate, dialysis and then filtrated by Sephadex G-150. The enzymatic activity was peaked to (270U/ml) and specific activity (692.3U/mg). The enzymatic activity for purified enzyme was increased significantly (P<0.01) to (563.7U/ml) after treatment with 1M of tyrosine but aspartic acid and glutamic acid were show inhibitory effect on enzyme activity decreased (P<0.01) to (130.U/ml) and (147.3 U/ml) respectively. The enzymatic activity was also increased significantly (P<0.01) reached to (633.6U/ml) and to(610.3U/ml) when treated with 50% of vitamin k and piroxicam respectively. This study was aimed to investigate effect of amino acids, vitamins and some nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) with different concentrations on enzyme activity. | ||
