Hyaluronidase Worsens Infection by Causing Damage to Red Blood Cells

Question

Hyaluronidase worsens infection by causing damage to red blood cells.

Accepted Answer

Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that helps bacteria break down hyaluronic acid, a substance that helps hold cells together in tissues. While hyaluronidase can help bacteria spread and infect tissues, it does not directly damage red blood cells.
