🔬 NAGase Detection Mechanism

X-GlcNAc undergoes N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase-catalyzed hydrolysis, releasing 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indoxyl which rapidly oxidizes to form an intense blue precipitate:

X-GlcNAc + H₂O
↓ (N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase)
5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indoxyl + N-acetyl-D-glucosamine
↓ (Spontaneous oxidation & dimerization)
Blue Indigoid Precipitate
Clinical Significance: NAGase activity indicates yeast/fungal presence and metabolic status
