How are sutures dissolved if they are made of chitin and if chitin has beta-glycosidic bonds like cellulose?

Humans have two functional chitinases (enzymes that break down chitin molecules) that can break down the chitin in the sutures your describe.  They may take longer to dissolve than other types of dissolvable sutures, however.
