Activity ofStaphylococcus epidermidisPhenol‐Soluble Modulin Peptides Expressed inStaphylococcus carnosus

Staphy/ococcus carnosus TM300

* Department of Genetics and Molecular Biology, Faculty of Science, Masaryk University, 61 137 Brno, Czech Republic A genome map of Staphylococcus carnosus TM300, an important microorganism in the food industry and long used as a starter culture, was constructed by pulsed-f ield gel electrophoresis of DNA fragments obtained after digestion with Notl, Sfil and Apal. The size of the chromosome wa...

Antimicrobial activity and characterization of biosynthesized silver nanoparticles from Anisochilus carnosus

Silver nanoparticles with size of 6- 57nm were synthesized by bioreduction method from Anisochilus carnosus aqueous and ethanolic extract. Biosynthesized nanoparticles showed maximum antimicrobial activity against K. pneumonia (13±1.67mm), E.coli (13±1.97mm) and B. subtilis (13±1.07mm) followed by P. aeruginosa and minimum against <...

Staphylococcus epidermidis Antimicrobial d-Toxin (Phenol-Soluble Modulin-c) Cooperates with Host Antimicrobial Peptides to Kill Group A Streptococcus

Antimicrobial peptides play an important role in host defense against pathogens. Recently, phenol-soluble modulins (PSMs) from Staphylococcus epidermidis (S. epidermidis) were shown to interact with lipid membranes, form complexes, and exert antimicrobial activity. Based on the abundance and innocuity of the cutaneous resident S. epidermidis, we hypothesized that their PSMs contribute to host d...
