Chitinases from Serratia marcescens
Serratia marcescens is one of the most effective bacteria for degradation of chitin, a 1,4-β-linked polymer of N-acetyl-β-Dglucosamine (GlcNAc). Chitinolysis by S. marcescens involves at least four enzymes and a chitin-binding protein. Studies of the enzymology and the structures of the enzymes provide insight in how a natural set of chitinolytic enzymes may be built up. S. marcescens chitinase...
متن کاملAn Extracellular Nuclease from Serratia marcescens
The specificity of an extracellular nuclease from Serraiia marcescens was examined with both RNA and DNA as substrates. The enzyme was found to act in a predominantly endonucleolytic manner with less than 2% of the degradation products being mononucleotides. Both DNA and RNA were degraded to di-, tri-, and tetranucleotides terminating in 5’-phosphoryl ends. The enzyme had the unusual property o...
متن کاملR factors from Serratia marcescens.
In recent years, Serratia marcescens has become established in certain localities as an agent of hospital infection and cross-infection (Clayton & von Graevenitz, 1966; Wilfert, Barrett & Kass, 1968; Davis, Foltz & Blakemore, 1970; Wilkowske, Washington, Martin & Ritts, 1970). In general, strains of S. marcescens isolated from infective lesions differ from those from other sources in being non-...
متن کاملSerratia marcescens: an outbreak experience
One year ago, I had one of the worst experiences a hospital epidemiologist can have: a Serratia marcescens outbreak in a neonatal department with a total of 21 colonized or infected newborns. This outbreak caused headlines in all national TV channels and newspapers for at least one week in Germany. What happened? On October 8th, we identified two newborns with S. marcescens bloodstream infectio...
متن کاملSerratia marcescens.
Over the last 30 years, Serratia marcescens has become an important cause of nosocomial infection. There have been many reports concerning the identification, antibiotic susceptibility, pathogenicity, epidemiological investigations and typing of this organism. Accurate identification is important in defining outbreaks. The API 20E system has been used widely, but is not individually satisfactor...
