<jats:p>
A reverse zymogram method for the detection of bacterial lysozyme inhibitors was developed. This method was validated by using a periplasmic protein extract of
<jats:italic>Escherichia coli</jats:italic>
containing a known inhibitor and subsequently led to the detection of a new proteinaceous hen egg white lysozyme inhibitor in
<jats:italic>Proteus mirabilis</jats:italic>
.
