Abstract :
The effect of peptidoglycan extracted from Staphylococcus saprophyticus on liver and kidney functions was studied in rabbits, by means of injecting a group of Albino white rabbits intravenously with 6 mg / ml of partially purified S. saprophyticus S67 peptidoglycan extract. The levels of urea, creatinine, glucose, GOT, GPT, alkaline phosphatase were estimated. The results showed a significant increase (P≤0.05) in those parameters in exception of alkaline phosphatase since it developed a significant (P≤0.05) decrease, however such results may indicate that the peptidoglycan caused dysfunction in both of liver and kidney
