Blocking Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, Chromobacterium Violaceum, and Ralstonia Solanacearum Adhesion by Fruit Glycans
P. aeruginosa produces two lectins: PA-IL (LecA) (that bind galactose [Gal] and L-arabinose [Ara]), and PA-IIL (LecB) (that binds fucose [Fuc] > mannose [Man] and fructose [Fru]) [5,6]. These lectins contribute to the pathogens adhesion to target cells [7] and amplify the destructive effects of their accompanying virulence factors on those cells [8]. They also contribute to the pathogen auto-ag...
متن کاملPreventing Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Chromobacterium violaceum infections by anti-adhesion-active components of edible seeds
BACKGROUND Pseudomonas aeruginosa adhesion to animal/human cells for infection establishment involves adhesive proteins, including its galactose- and fucose-binding lectins PA-IL (LecA) and PA-IIL (LecB). The lectin binding to the target-cell receptors may be blocked by compatible glycans that compete with those of the receptors, functioning as anti-adhesion glycodecoys. The anti-adhesion treat...
متن کاملDenitrification by Chromobacterium violaceum.
One host (Rana catesbiana)-associated and two free-living mesophilic strains of bacteria with violet pigmentation and biochemical characteristics of Chromobacterium violaceum were isolated from freshwater habitats. Cells of each freshly isolated strain and of strain ATCC 12472 (the neotype strain) grew anaerobically with glucose as the sole carbon and energy source. The major fermentation produ...
متن کاملAnti-Quorum Sensing Activity of Forsythia suspense on Chromobacterium violaceum and Pseudomonas aeruginosa
BACKGROUND Quorum sensing (QS) plays an important role in the production of virulence factors and pathogenicity in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and the interruption of QS will be a hopeful pathway to combat bacterial infection. OBJECTIVE In this study, we selected Forsythia suspense (Thunb.) Vahl from traditional Chinese herbal medicines for its anti-QS activity. MATERIALS AND METHODS Anti-QS of...
متن کاملCyanide Formation by Chromobacterium Violaceum.
Michaels, Ruth (Columbia University, New York, N.Y.), and W. A. Corpe. Cyanide formation by Chromobacterium violaceum. J. Bacteriol. 89:106-112. 1965.-The formation of cyanide by a Chromobacterium violaceum strain was studied with growing cultures and with nonproliferating cells grown in complex and chemically defined media. Most of the cyanide was produced during the log-phase growth of the or...
