The pathogen Listeria monocytogenes produces exotoxins that disrupt membranes. What is the purpose of the membrane disruption caused by Listeria monocytogenes? Choose one: A. to kill the host cell B. to produce signaling molecules that activate host cell cytokine production C. to increase the permeability of the host's capillaries in order to increase nutrient availability to the bacteria D. to allow the bacteria to escape the phagosome and grow in the cytoplasm of the host

Lysozyme, an enzyme found in human saliva, tears, and other secretions, catalyzes the hydrolysis of the $\beta-1,4$ -glycosidic linkages in peptidoglycan. Predict the effect of this enzyme on bacteria, and explain the role its activity plays in human health.
